A Texas sheriff's office released bodycam video nearly a week after deputies allegedly shot a woman, mistaking her for an intruder, after she forgot her keys and broke the glass to get into an apartment.
Someone breaks into a house, and then walks to the window holding a gun…I mean, ya’ll make it sound SO easy being a cop and reacting to split second decisions that can mean life and death…
Being a cop isnt that dangerous compared to other jobs. I have had 3 guns pointed at me from working retail and being a delivery driver. All robberies. I was armed for 2 of them. All 3 times I managed to not get shot or not shoot anyone by making the right decisions and realizing that material things are not worth more than life. Why can’t cops be held to the same standard?
These cops could’ve retreated to cover down the stairs or to the sides of the door and attempted to make actual communication with the home owner. They are paid well and have great benefits. They know what they signed up for. We should be able to expect them to be competent in situations like these.
So they get to murder people in their own homes because their job is dangerous? I don’t give a fuck if I break every window in my house at 3am and its real scary for the poor adults with body armor and deadly weapons. I think I have a reasonable expectation of not having some jumpy scrubs empty two magazines through my front door

It’s a good thing you’re not a cop. It’s a bad thing you’re allowed to own a gun.
