  33. Looking at this objectively and taking my feelings out of it, his lawyer put on a good defense. This case really is 50/50, totally up in the air. No one in this situation technically did anything wrong. He followed his training. Dean had a right to shoot Atatianna had a right to have her door open and had a right to defend her home if she heard a noise And the neighbor had a right to call police out if he felt his neighbor was in trouble. That's the real messed up part about it...it really is no one person's fault for what happened. It truly is a tragedy and a series of unfortunate events. Should he do time for following his training (and making an honest mistake)? I don't know.... to be guilty you have to prove that he had a guilty mind. He didn't wake up that morning and think I'm going to drive to this street and kill a random person. He was trying to complete his work assignment. She heard a noise and was trying to protect herself. I don't think he's a bad guy and I don't think the neighbor is a bad person. It's just a damn tragedy. I don't know what justice would be at this point. She's never coming back and while putting him in jail might make the family feel better.... it won't bring her back. Should we destroy his life for an honest mistake? I don't know. If you've never worked in law enforcement you have no idea the depth and breadth of this. Officers are human and unfortunately sometimes make mistakes, you just pray to God that it's not a deadly one. Has he suffered enough? I can't say. This is a tough case. We know AtaTianna should still be here and we hate that she's gone. But what punishment would fit the crime? Making him a felon? Banning him from police service forever? Locking him up? This is gonna be tough for the jury. The way its going I'm thinking manslaughter or a lower charge, I don't think the jury will think murder is appropriate in this case. And I don't think walking away scott free will work either....my prediction Is that the jury will ask for the lessor charges and give him minimal time. Just my prediction. I guess we'll see

  40. All property damaged should be fined the cost of the damage to the looter directly. Place a lien on their car or house, garnish their wages and income tax, block them from getting licenses and motor vehicle registration. I bet that all this mess would stop cold. But the govt wouldnt do it bc they are too scared. This is America. There is A RULE OF LAW. We do not believe in anarchism, and the overthrow of govt. No govt and police don't always get it right. But what is the alternative? We see what happened when police are absent or lax. People cannot control/police themselves because everyone has different opinions/factions. The rule of law is the only thing that equalized/protects us. These communists/socialist ideals do not work in a nation of 330 million ppl of varying races, cultures, and ideologies. Our laws may seems antiquated to some but they allow our country to function in a measured expected manner. As a minority I can tell you identity politics DO NOT WORK. what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Period. Police imcluded. And we are striving to make that more perfect union everyday. However allowing businesses to be destroyed and looted because they are white owned and letting minority protesters go unpunished because they are mad or they cant help themselves or because they are black or whatever else excuse is the essence of "two sets of rules for different people" which is what they are protesting in the first place. Long story short, the govt has a job to do here...are you going to fulfill the law or will allow the law to be broken depending on who is breaking it? We can have the conversation about policing and racism all day long, but in a calm manner that respects the safety and security of all residents. I am vegond disappointed in the dallas leaders for allowing the looting and rioting and I hope tactics will change to ensure PUBLIC SAFETY.
