I didn’t know anything about this case, but what I’ve found is that Amber Guyger, a police officer at the end of her shift, accidentally wandered into the wrong apartment thinking it was her own, saw Botham Jean (who lived there) and shot him dead, mistaking him for a burglar.
One thing Brian doesn’t mention, although it’s probably not relevant to his point (if he has one) is that a witness in the case, Joshua Brown, who was a neighbour of both Guyger and Jean, was shot dead yesterday and so far there are no suspects.
Ten years is not outside the realm of probability, so I don’t know why Brian is so surprised. Nor the fact that Guygen got a hug from the victim’s brother. As we know, Brian has difficulty differentiating between his fantasy life and real life, so perhaps he does not understand human concepts like forgiveness or mercy.
As to his questions…
What if our police weren't so militarized? There’d be less shootings like this one, true.
What if there were no female police officers? Female police officers are actually necessary in modern police work because many people, be they suspects, witnesses or victims, relate better to women. Unless the police force is ruling by brutality, then conflict resolution is going to be vital.
Or judges? Fuck knows. The USA wouldn’t have Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I’m guessing Brian would have preferred it that way.
What if Jean had finished his studies and returned to St. Lucia? He’d be alive and someone else would have got shot in the apartment. Duh.
