Of course, they only cuffed him because he was freaking out over the fact that the cops though he was a dangerous criminal... clearly the cops where just helping a poor kid that was scared for reasons out of their control...

I can almost understand her reasoning. She had her windows open and basically someone else's kids were standing outside yelling for a pretty long time. She handled it terribly and used the absolute bullshit excuse of "selling without a permit", but it still stemmed from not wanting to hear someone yelling outside of your window for hours.
Screaming kids are one of those things that if they are yours you can tune out, but if someone else's it grates on the nerves like nails on the chalkboard. She just broke.
After reading this, I expected the incident to have occured on a leafy suburban street.
But that street in the video? She's just lucky it ain't turn of the century London with newsboys 'ollering the 'eadlines on every corner.
Eh wot, guv? Some chit is cross with us 'cause we be 'avin' a gas, eh? A nasty jar for 'er, that is.
Mid-Victorian London boasted around 400 residents per acre too. That's four times what modern Manhattan has. She wouldn't last two days.

She would need to call the police on a lot more people. Someone selling marijuana illegally probably shouldn't draw attention to herself either way.
The girl who was selling water to afford tickets to Disneyland/world? Someone bought them for her and her family.
Oh look, someone did one of those studies where everyone already knew what the outcome would be, but now there's an official study:
Militarization fails to enhance police safety or reduce crime but may harm police reputation

For a second there i though that was the guy they finally found guilty of shooting his daughters black boyfriend, after 3 juries couldn't decide on a verdict.
Ethnicity and such haven't been disclosed for this case, but it seems terrifying enough to post here.
AP News - Police: Dallas officer mistakes apartment for own, kills man
AP News - Police: Dallas officer mistakes apartment for own, kills man
By the time I saw it... first sentence in story now.
DALLAS (AP) — A white Dallas police officer who said she mistook a black neighbor’s apartment for her own fatally shot that person and will be charged with manslaughter, police said Friday.
Dallas Morning News is reporting the officer will be charged with manslaughter, and once they have a warrant they'll release the officer's name.

Funny thing is, if he'd've been in a position to "Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground", he would have most likely been put on the fast track to Death Row for shooting a cop.
This has actually been tried before with officers in uniform after they broke into the wrong house for a raid. The occupant jumped from his bed, grabbed his gun and returned fire before realizing it was the cops and taking a hit from their return fire. He and his wife sued the department afterwards and the results were basically "We're not charging you for attempted manslaughter because of Castle Doctrine and because you had a good faith reason to believe you needed to defend yourself. However, because you fired on the officers in a good faith commission of their duties, we can't find them guilty ether. They had just as much justification to fight for their lives as you did."
This is different though; if she wasn't in uniform and wasn't there in an official capacity, she's toast. That's just B&E with manslaughter.
I just don't really understand why they're dragging their feet. If the police officer wasn't in uniform and this was off duty, she's a regular civilian. If I get so drunk I go to the wrong house, get in, and shoot the person in there, that's definitely purely on me and I'm not sure what it'd be classed as - manslaughter or another legal term - but I'm definitely going to see the inside of a jail. My job, my color, the other person's color, they all really don't seem relevant whatsoever.
*This is America*
Finally charges and arrest... From the Dallas Morning News, copied the story because they've gotten really weird about letting people read their articles.
The Dallas police officer accused of fatally shooting Botham Jean in his apartment Thursday night has been arrested, officials said Sunday.
A warrant was issued for Amber Guyger, 30, and she was arrested Sunday and booked into the Kaufman County jail on a manslaughter charge, the Texas Department of Public Safety said.
Guyger fatally shot Jean, 26, after authorities said she mistook his apartment at the South Side Flats in the Cedars for her own.
The Texas Rangers took over the investigation from the Dallas Police Department and the warrant was issued after "subsequent coordination with the Dallas County District Attorney's Office," DPS said.

BREAKING: Extremely Relevant and Important News That in No Way is Being Released to Try to Demonize an Innocent Victim
I still don't understand how this happens. You're not at your correct door. Therefore your key doesn't work. You look up a bit, realize you're an idiot, and go back one floor down. How does "my key doesn't work" translate into "this is still mine, whomever is in there should be shot, since they changed the locks somehow." Or... what?
Hell, the first part HAS HAPPENED TO ME. Once. I was really REALLY confused as to why my key didn't work, as the hallway is identical. But then I looked a little harder at the number on the door, then felt like an idiot for punching the wrong button on the elevator. Then I went to my correct floor, and I laughed at myself for a few minutes, and haven't told a soul until now.

This story reads far more likely that someone had some sort of beef with her upstairs neighbor and, with judgement impaired by alcohol (and no doubt emboldened by her position as a police officer), she decided to confront him about it and things then escalated due to additional poor decision making and got out of hand, and her buddies are trying to cover for her. It’s (probably) not really about race, pot, police, guns, or even gender*.
I mean, I can’t be the only one seeing this as the most likely story, right?
—Patrick
*well, it actually could be about any of these things, but let’s assume the best, ok?

Seems a bit too much for "just" neighbours...
They have keyless entry systems, so you're not necessarily trying to fit a key. Some reports have said they door may have been not completely locked closed. I'm really not sure what the hell actually happened. I believe that she is at fault, that possibly there is more between them than has been reported. It's a big mess that I'm not sure we'll ever get the full story in the public eye.
Honestly, what exactly happened doesn't even matter. I mean, it might have been murder instead of manslaughter if it was on purpose, but other than that, she still killed someone without any reason or warning, in their own home. Maybe breaking and entering should be added, maybe not; maybe she was drunk and maybe not. That's for the DA to decide what to charge with, and for a jury to decide.
Whether he had pot in his house or not doesn't matter. Even if he was a cross of Al Capone and Bin Laden, doesn't matter - he was sitting in his house, she went and killed him - off duty, in plain clothes, so as a civilian. She's clearly in the wrong, no matter what else - only the degree can be in question...and even "wrongful death" would be BS.

This is the 4th person to "COMMIT SUICIDE" tied to Ferguson protestors in suspicious ways that, according to victim's families, were barely investigated, if at all. Methods include suicide by gunshot and burning car...at the same time.
Gross.
