Alex Carrington- Dallas Shooting, Officer Could Face Stiffer Charge for Killing Unarmed Neighbor

This article was written by AnneClaire Stapleton, Darron Simon, and Eliott C. McLaughlin this afternoon about Amber Guyger, a white police officer who was off-duty when she shot Botham Shem Jean, a black man, in his apartment. Guyger claimed that she believed she was entering her own apartment and shot the innocent man out of fear of a burglar. I knew a bit about the situation, but I have a completely different opinion about what happened, and I won’t share it or sway any other opinions. I know from reading this article that the authors wrote from a completely unbiased point of view. The article was intended to show that racial profiling is more common, and dangerous, then some may think. For that very reason, this is extremely serious and relevant to recent events. This text relates to US history when we take a look at the African-American deaths in the past. Lynchings by colonists and the Ku Klux Klan, with its long history of violence because of prejudices against innocent people.  This may be one of the bluntest articles you’ve ever read, but this is a real issue that NEEDS to be addressed.
