The former officer, Amber R. Guyger, who is white, was charged in the death of her 26-year-old neighbor, Botham Shem Jean, after she said she accidentally went to the wrong floor of their apartment complex, entered the unit directly above hers and fatally shot him last year. Ms. Guyger claimed she thought she was entering her own apartment and was acting in self-defense against an intruder. […] The shooting and its aftermath in September 2018 ignited protests and calls for justice, with demonstrations outside Police Headquarters and inside City Hall. At a time when other police officers have been cleared of wrongdoing in the deaths of unarmed black men, Ms. Guyger was arrested several days after the shooting on a charge of manslaughter, then released from jail the same day. After weeks of community tensions and accusations of preferential treatment for the police, a grand jury came back with the charge of murder. […] Though the issue of race was not mentioned explicitly in the courtroom, the trial unfolded against the backdrop of a diverse city that is 24 percent black, 29 percent white and 42 percent nonwhite Hispanic. The mayor of Dallas, the police chief and the Dallas County district attorney are all black, as is the judge presiding over this case. Of the 12 jurors and four alternates, seven are African-American, four appear to be white and five are of other races and ethnicities. […] Ms. Guyger testified that she was returning home from a long day of work when she accidentally parked on the wrong floor of the complex’s garage. As Ms. Guyger walked down the fourth-floor hallway, she said, she did not notice that anything was amiss, including the red doormat outside Mr. Jean’s door. The door strike plate was defective and not fully latched closed, according to the defense, allowing Ms. Guyger to enter using her own keys. When Ms. Guyger saw someone inside, she said, she drew her gun and shouted, “Let me see your hands.” She testified that Mr. Jean was walking toward her and shouting “Hey” when she fired her weapon twice, striking Mr. Jean once in the torso and killing him. Again, highlighting things that weren't even brought up at the trial because the Left is obsessed with race. And this ridiculous news alert is quite different from the Times' actual headline: "Amber Guyger, Former Dallas Police Officer, Found Guilty of Murder in Death of Neighbor." Now, with that aside, there are some things about this whole case that doesn't really make sense concerning Guyger. She's going to jail and it seems as of now it's very much deserved. Poster Comment: Okay, copsuckers, take a deep breath and swallow it all the way to the base. ... And that is the taste of criminally reckless police getting the same taste of justice they hand out to the public every day. I like that her teary I-am-a-victim-of-that-Negro-ice-cream-gobbler just didn't impress the jury.
Former Dallas police officer Amber R. Guyger thought she had entered her own apartment. It wasn’t. Instead, she shot and killed her neighbor, which sparked national headlines. Guyger is white. Her neighbor and victim, Botham Shem Jean, was black. Guyger said she felt threatened and acted in self-defense. The jury rejected that argument and Guyger now faces 5 to 99 years in prison. There is no evidence that Guyger had any racial motivations concerning this horrible event. Yet, here’s The New York Times trying to stoke up racial tensions, which is juxtaposed with their own reporting that race was never really mentioned during the trial, though decided to add that drama in there because…why not make an already tense situation worse (via NYT): 
A former Dallas police officer who shot her unarmed black neighbor in his own apartment was found guilty of murder on Tuesday, in an unusual and high-profile case that dealt with issues of race, policing and mistaken identity.

Gatlin will find some minor issue in the first sentence of your article, refuse to read the rest and then whine and carp and complain to A K A. Mr. Jury Foreman whitey will hem and haw and rant about how the guy eating ice cream was putting the cop in mortal danger with his spoon. Neither one of them will condemn this murderous cop lady. And that is the taste of criminally reckless police getting the same taste of justice they hand out to the public every day. Gatlin will then post reams of "good cop" stories and spam there thread with pictures and names of cops who have been killed. The good news here is that juries are finally starting to see through the bullshit excuse "I feared for my life.
There are many reasons why people think lying is wrong; look at them and tell me which ones best resonate with your reason for posting lies. The ones you choose will depend on your regard for ethics.
I will now read the remainder of the article.
Following the statistical average , today 23 law enforcement officers from the total of 850,000 sworn officers in America will be investigated or disciplined for misconduct. Repeating: that is only 23 out of a total of 850,000 sworn law enforcement officers. You do the percentage math. What we have witnessed here is the criminal justice system that is made up of three separate institutions process a case from inception, through trial and now awaits punishment. This case began with law enforcement officials who investigated a crime and gathered evidence to identify and use in the trail against former Dallas police officer Amber R. Guyger. The case was presented through the court system which weigned the evidence to determine if the defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. After carefully considering the jury found former Dallas police officer Amber R. Guyger guilty as charged. And now the corrections system will use whatever means at their disposal, which in his case will be namely incarceration to punish former Dallas police officer Amber R. Guyger. It is noteworthy to mention that throughout each state of this trial process, all constitutiaonal protections existed and did ensure the the rights of accused and convicted former Dallas police officer Amber R Guyger were respected. It is comforting to know that these protections balance the requitement of the criminal justice system when it investigates and prosecutes all criminals while maintaining the fundamental rights of former Dallas police officer Amber R Guyger who was presumed innocent until proven guilty.
I will show you why. The list of American police officers convicted of murder:

Finding that someone has posted an article with a fabricated lie is no “minor issue.” Lying is probably one of the most common wrong acts that a person can carry out.
Now, let Let me look at the first sentence as see if there is a lie. Former Dallas police officer Amber R. Guyger thought she had entered her own apartment. It wasn’t.
This first sentence – unlike the article you posted where there was a blatant lie in the headline and the one you are still pouting about me pointing it out so strongly – is not a lie.

No, I will never again waste my time to call a blatant lie to the attention of Stone since I have learned he doesn’t give a shit about how many lies you post on your personal LF blog by Matt Agorist.

Neither one of them [misterwhite or Gatlin] will condemn this murderous cop lady.
I can only speak for myself to say that I accept the verdict of the jury when it found Amber Renee Guyger, 31, guilty of murder in the Sept. 6, 2018, death of Botham Shem "Bo" Jean.

Your statement is unjustified since it is not demonstrably correct or judicious and is therefore warranted and inappropriate.
