Again? What's the reason for reposting it 3 times a day?

Old story.. let’s move on

I've been assured she just shouldn't have been black in her own home.

Dallas police are clearly shot first

Why not knock on the front door and say this is the police? Why did he pass the two open doors and go around to the back and fire through a window?

Just another day in America.

Opening your doors now warrants the death penalty? What is wrong with these Texas cops?

Wow

It’s a murder.

They didn't announce who they were, opened a closed gate to go in the backyard, the screen door was closed (we leave our door open with a closed screen all the time in the summer), and shot her through the window. How is this the way police should act?

Nothing will come of this video. No charges. No change in police training or procedures. And the police department will pay a huge sum in a lawsuit.

What is wrong with Texas police? Are they taught if you are a black persons start shooting?

Shoot first ask questions later. This is the results of police training

Deeply disturbing. Horrifically tragic. Words can’t even express my feelings about this.

Screen door was closed and it was a hot Texas night. Cop never made his presence knownby knocking or ringing the doorbell or even checking to see if the door was locked instead intruding on her backyard property shooting her immediately

0.6 SECONDS. That's how long he waited before shooting her inside her own home. 0.6. 0.6. 0.6.

this is a murder

Stop. Randomly. Shooting.

Damn....that even shocked me...he didn't even get finished with his sentence...just a quick phrase to say he said something.. then pow....he can't even justify that. He just earned his lifetime membership...if he didn't have it he has it now. New hair cut.

FTP

Thank God the UK police are not generally armed.....there but for fortune..........

This police officer was on a hunter to Murder and cause destruction to another black persons he probably was an affiliate of some type of White Supremacist group Alt-right Neo Nazi or Maybe the Klu Klux Klans Army if they kill a black or brown person they'll get a badge of honor

Epitome of stupid... actually, the police union supporting Trump for 2020 is up there too.🙄

Hopefully, this one gets life unlike the female officer who obtained twenty years only.

Little quick with the trigger

He shot her through the window of her own house

Racist Police State. Let's demolish it. Step 1. VoteOutTheGOP

That Why people kneeling

NBC under pressure for protecting Rapists, Goes to Race Baiting

Thank goodness the cop wasn’t injured. MoxieSanders

Not opening my door...cops are killers

video doesn't load.

He just snuck around her house and shot her in her own home. She had a screen door it was closed. Why didnt he shout Police.

Must wonder out loud: why not go to the front door, knock, announce yourselves as officers looking in on her and ask if she needs help. Am I missing something? Seems like this guy was already dead set on finding a criminal on the premises. He needs to go to jail.

Already

Its getting to the point that if you want to stay safe in your own home,DON'T call the cops!!

Going to a police academy at 20 1/2 with maybe an A.A. degree or just a high school diploma is a recipe for disaster. Make age minimum 22 or 23 and require a BA in criminal justice. In other words, hire smarter officers.

'Show me your hands' pulls the trigger a second later. She never had a chance

Get the shoot first officers out of the force nationwide.

Keep fuckin' around and Funkytown is gonna BURN.

He doesn’t call out as being police, can’t tell what exactly he’s seeing in the darkened window but shoots anyway. The police call was not for an intruder just that her door was open.

Ahhhhhhhhh, a good guy with a gun. ..........

What the hell is wrong with cops

Nerves? Fear? Guns kill people, People don't.

This is heartbreaking, and probably nothing will happen to the dumba** officer who made this crazy decision. nojustice

This is not how you should be policing. Do they have any idea that the aggressive yelling after showing up at someone’s home may startle the shit out of them?

Who the dick is training these police officers ? Are they trained to shoot as soon as feeling scared ?

I am sure police saw the car parked in the garage and can detect the owner was home. This is cold blooded murder and he should be tried as such. He was in no way threatened.

The rate of fatal police shootings per million was 10.13 for Native Americans, 6.66 for Black people, 3.23 for Hispanics; 2.9 for White people and 1.17 for Asians. The database showed by total, Whites were killed by police more than any other race or ethnicity.

There's also something going on in Chicago with another young, Black man shot and killed by police; it was a case of mistaken identity.

Black people, do not call the police to your communities! Dont do it! They will come ready to kill us in our own homes!

Disturbing!

He didn't need to break a window to shoot a black person in cold blood, the door was open. Apparently the Fort Worth police department dosent communicate with the Dallas police department.

ACAB

fortworthpd damn yalls training is crap. Do y’all regularly hire cowards?

Pure and Simple MURDER. The officer had no right to have his weapon pulled or to fire. The family should and will own this Town. Time for COPS to learn they are not ABOVE THE LAW and there is consequences to there actions

Black people aren't safe, not even in their own homes playing video games with their children. New messaging needs to be: If you see anything suspicious at your black neighbors house don't call the fucking police because they may be shot! Police are now WhiteNationalistHitmen

Wtf. What part of that WHOLE situation required a gun to be drawn — let alone fired in less that 2 seconds? Cop turned a welfare check into a call to the coroner. That poor family.

Great work, FWPOA should give this cop a medal for his quick... what's the word? not 'thinking,' certainly

OMG shot while in her own home!

This should scare every American. Imagine having men sneaking around your house in the middle of the night, shining in flashlights, never identifying themselves and then you are shot through the window. This is just wrong.

*murdering

Danger of being inside your home with the door open 😳

How is this happening AGAIN—in Texas?!

😢

Thank God for the cameras.

This is murder, plain and simple. It's not a body camera video, it's a snuff film. Congrats Fort Worth PD, you have a murderer in the ranks. Suggest you arrest him.

Outrageous

Why did he shoot her without warning her he was going to shoot. He did not give her time to react by putting up her hands. What if she was in shock or if this was a person who was paralysed? Police make me sick.

These are our hero’s ladies and gentlemen

“Perceived a threat”. Does not justify murder.

Plain and simple. Not enough warning given before shooting. Sneaking around outside the house, I would look through the window too, to see who was on my property. Too hasty to shoot first, as if it was always going to be the first thing he did. Premeditated? Certainly looks like

Meanwhile..... In Chicago..... Again...

The killing of black people in U S by White police officers is exactly what was happening here during the apartheid era, the officer knew precisely that there was someone inside and he or she was Black, and I don't remember hearing Trump saying anything about the killings

officer never identified himself, he just shot the first person he saw, thats called MURDER.

Because every man & his dog has a gun police are constantly on edge so they shoot first & ask questions later Less guns Less mistakes

2:30 am. No lights or sirens. Shining a flashlight through the window. Sees a figure through the curtain. Draws gun. Never identified himself as a police officer. 'Put your hands up! Show me your hands! Sho...*BANG*' 2.56 seconds. She never had a chance. AtatianaJefferson

Why are cops so eager to use their weapons?

If the neighbor was concerned why didn’t she just go check on her? I bet there is a petty dispute and she called the cops hoping they would shoot her. She was so happy that the cop didn’t ID himself as an officer. The door was closed. It looks like a setup.

what sense does this even make?'a door is opened' is a crime in a barbaric democracy like the usa?

I want to hear the neighbors 911 call
