Terminated for her actions during the arrest. Not terminated during her arrest.

She was fired today.

Actually, when you read it like that, it makes the DPD seem callous, that her actions during her arrest were worthy of termination, but not her actions which precipitated her arrest to begin with.

You can't remove quotes like that. NPR worded it badly.
NPR had the quotes in there...







/e Anyway, Surfpunk noticed it first. You trying to steal his thunder?

Guyger had worked for the Dallas Police Department since November 2013. Before she was fired, she "remained on the city payroll on administrative leave," The Texas Tribune reports.

Poor police woman, I feel for her, what a lethal mistake she did. The video which shows her crying in despair at the scene melts my heart. She must have been completely exhausted mentally to make such a mistake, I have only once mistaken my neighbor's door for mine, and I was as high as a New York City skyscraper at the time, but luckily the door was locked and nothing happened, I just hurried into my own apartment. After that I have not smoked anything other than an occasional tobacco cigarette.

Okay and if you opened the other person's door would your first instinct be kill the person? Not to mention he was positioned away from her. Almost all apartment buildings have light switches by the door.

Can't say I feel bad. If you're that trigger happy it's only a matter of time before you kill someone anyway.

She clearly lacks the discretion and intelligence to have a firearm.

ok thank god

No I wouldn't feel like killing the person inside, since I would realize quickly that the apartment wasn't mine.
She wasn't trigger happy, she was a nervous wreck. The very sound of her cry made that known to me, such fragile people should of course not be police officers, nor should they be allowed to wear arms.
She probably walked into that apartment when she was tired after a long day's intense police work, and she completely lost it (fatigue lowers stress tolerance as well), got panic, lost her mind in the heat of the situation, took the gun and shot the poor guy. We don't know how the guy in the apartment reacted either, perhaps he was quick at the door and was aggressive.

She didn't kill him for fun, that's for sure, and she obviously didn't kill him in cold blood either. Look at the video, it is obvious. A terrified wreck who should never have become a police officer shot a stranger, and she will doubtless suffer for the rest of her life because of it.

Sorry, i wouldn't have empathy for the doctor that "had a long day" and killed someone in surgery because they're not competent.

Guess her tears don't make me feel sorry or cause an emotional response. I see the actions and have rendered my own personal judgment.

This happens all the time with doctors and you have to have empathy for them, because a lot more people would die if they didn't come in and do that double.
