As a former Texas police officer and academy instructor these officers did everything perfectly WRONG! Pi$$ poor training caused the woman’s death and the Fort Worth Police Department should be held accountable. I fear the DA will let the cop walk because he was scared...BS!!

An under discussed part of the problem is the way the media, politicians encourage cops to be unreasonably jumpy with phrases like “police risk their lives daily” “putting their lives on the line” reality is it’s not a particularly dangerous job and cops are not soldiers

In Most Cities, USA police is brutal, incompetent and mostly White.

He should be arrested. He should be in jail. As everyone else who makes the same decision. Stop allowing these murderers to hide behind their badge.

So tragic. Just when you think the black community couldn’t trust the cops any less.

Correction: A White-American Fort Worth Texas police officer, Aaron Dean who fatally shot an African-American woman in her own home resigned, as her family called for him to be arrested... Justice for AtitianaJefferson ✊🏾

Arrest should follow!

Get..while the gettins good...

Investigation by 3rd Party is necessary, we need to punish the criminal while we respect the cops’ jobs.

Better than Biden! New slogan:)

Fort Worth, Texas, police officer who fatally shot Atatiana Jefferson resignsThe resignation came hours before the department intended to terminate Officer Aaron Dean's employment. They resign to keep their pension. This may go to trial but he will have his pension. And better be indicted! When anyone is that trigger-happy they should never be near a gun again. Let's hope he doesn't get hired by some other police dept.

Outraged Fort Worth leaders ask why police shot black woman inside homeFort Worth police face backlash after an officer shot a young black woman inside her home as she played a video game with her nephew You don't say? What happened to some type of probable cause, and not just the word of a neighbor saying some activity was different to them? Why not enter the home and give the innocent a chance to avoid harm? In any other country this would be news. In the disUSA it’s just more of the same. Clearly BlackLivesDontMatterAllThatMuch 🤦‍♂️
