In the latest shooting of an innocent civilian by a trigger-happy police officer, a white Fort Worth cop blew away a 28-year-old black woman through her bedroom window as she played a video game with her eight-year-old nephew on Saturday. Atatiana Jefferson's neighbor had called a non-emergency police number to request that they check on her because her doors were wide open.
"The officer did not announce that he was a police officer prior to shooting," a spokesman said. Instead, he shouted through the window before killing Jefferson: "Put your hands up! Show me your hands!"
This atrocity followed the recent conviction of a white officer in Dallas who claimed that she had entered the wrong apartment in her building before mistakenly shooting an African-American man. Botham Jean, 26, was eating ice cream in his own, clearly not hers, home when he was killed.
