https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ted-cruz-beto-orourke-quick-to-blame-dallas-officer_us_5ba02adfe4b046313fbe558cRep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who are facing off in the U.S. Senate race in November, both weighed in over the weekend on the fatal shooting of a black man by a white off-duty police officer in Dallas on Sept. 6.
At a rally Friday night, O’Rourke agreed with those calling for the firing of officer Amber Guyger, who shot and killed her neighbor, 26-year-old Botham Jean, after entering his apartment. Guyger claimed she mistakenly thought she was in her own apartment.
“There has to be a full accounting for how young black men continue to be killed in this country without accountability, without justice, without these full investigations, without respecting their civil rights,” O’Rourke said. “This cannot continue.”
Asked whether Guyger should be fired, the representative said: “I don’t understand, given the actions, how anyone can come to any other conclusion.”
Cruz, in an interview with Fox 26 Houston that aired on Sunday, said O’Rourke and other Democrats were too “quick to always blame the police officer.”“I don’t think we should jump to any conclusions,” the senator said. “It may have been just a horrific misunderstanding.”

Who should we blame in this case?
the victim shot to death in his own home that they are trying to smear with small amounts of weed that may have not even been his?
What a joke. Regardless if it's a misunderstanding someone is at fault for not understanding.
How is this woman not locked away immediately is beyond me.
Do you think if a black man walked into her apartment and blew her away he would be out and about moving apartments. Good God.
