Of course, but..It ultimately came down to pulling the trigger without an inescapable threat
Sure, and you could apply that reasoning all the way back to her deciding to get out of bed in the morning. No, allowed to continue carrying such effortless, instantaneous, lethal force, she was simply a disaster waiting to happen. If not this poor guy, she soon would have killed someone else most likely.She should have assessed the situation before she fired
From civil case:{Aaah, lost the link} During sente{n}cing, prosecutors brought to court a bevy of social media posts in which Guyger appeared eager to exert dominance and expressed casual comfort shooting and killing human beings, exchanged racist ideas about black people and mocked the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
15. After opening the door to Jean’s apartment, Defendant Guyger stated in an interview with the Texas Rangers that she drew her service weapon and began issuing verbal commands to Jean, who was lawfully in his apartment. Jean attempted to comply by slowly arising from his seated position. Without any lawful justification to do so and not asking the questions that a reasonable well-trained officer would have, Defendant Guyger fired upon Jean, striking him in the chest although he was unarmed and not attempting to harm her or any other person. 16. After shooting Jean in his own apartment, Defendant Guyger began shouting additional commands to Jean. Jean plead out desperately inquiring why Defendant Jean shot him. Aware Jean was not committing a penal offense and that she had struck Jean with at least one round from her service weapon, Defendant Guyger called her attorney and 911 to report the shooting. In an attempt to cover-up for shooting Jean, Defendant Guyger allegedly made certain comments to Jean, knowing she was being recorded, who was then still suffering from the gunshot wound to his chest and in a great deal of pain. At no time did Defendant Guyger attempt to render emergency aid to Jean or take any lifesaving measures. Jean was allowed to remain on the ground as he struggled to survive in extreme pain.
