Reply to comment by !deleted3527 in US cop Amber Guyger guilty of murdering black neighbor Botham Jean in his own home by ziq

Her intent was not murder though. This case feels quite different than the other cases. Michael Brown and Tamir Rice were what I would call murder. This seems more like negligent homicide or even manslaughter to me. She needs to pay serious consequences but I am opposed to life in prison unless it is someone who did premeditated murder. I just think the case for murder is much weaker in this case than the other ones.

The fact that she was off duty likely played a huge role, i have a feeling she would not have been charged had she been on duty.

lol you do not even know anything about me. I hardly ever defend the police but this is a different sort of case. I actually look at the facts and respond on a case by case basis. Not just POLICE BAD.

Ban me then, If it is that easy to get banned around here then I do not think I really want to use this site even though I like it here so far. Seriously if something as simple as saying I believe someone should get serious consequences but not life in prison warrants a ban then wtf. I said this case is not as clear cut and malicious as others and you are going to ban me for it? This is a problem with you not me.

Nah, no reason to. I don't read cop or state apologia in what you wrote.

I think you are doing a disservice to the Michael Browns and Tamir Rices of the world if you think this is as malicious is all I was saying.

why do you have to be such a hostile person? You do not even know my political beliefs or anything and you are just making things up about me because I said something counter to your talking point.

I just do not believe this case carries with it the same level of maliciousness that was shown in the Michael Brown and Tamir Rice cases. People are comparing this to those cases and saying that they want her to be hit hard as payback for those cases as well.

The circumstances of this case are just so different than what we usually see. She should never be able to be a cop or hold a gun ever again but putting her in prison for 99 years is not nearly as appropriate as it is for the police officers involved in Tamir Rice shooting for example.
