Attorney Reveals Potential Link Between A Dallas Cop And The Innocent Man She Gunned Down In His Own Apartment

Spoiler for FULL STORY:

Noise complaints preceded the incident in which a Dallas cop shot and killed a black man in his own apartment.


Amber Guyger, 30, had just finished a 15-hour shift when she claims to have accidentally approached the wrong apartment, where she found her door ajar and shot at a “large silhouette” that turned out to be her neighbor, a successful young man named Botham Jean, whom she killed.


Guyger has been charged with manslaughter, but an attorney for her victim has pointed to several inconsistencies, including neighbors saying they heard a female knocking and shouting “let me in” before the killing.


The attorney for the victim, S. Lee Meritt, appeared on CNN Tuesday where he was asked by host Brooke Baldwin whether there was any connection between the two.


“The only connection we have been able to make is that she was his immediate downstairs neighbor,” Meritt said. “And there were noise complaints from the immediate downstairs neighbors about whoever was upstairs, and that would have been Botham. In fact, there were noise complaints that very day about upstairs activity in Botham’s apartment. Botham received a phone call about noise coming from his apartment from the downstairs neighbor.”

Sounds like the bitch was a disgruntled neighbor who did it intentionally.

And Fukushima was only such a mess because the facility was infected with the Stuxnet virus and a micro-nuke was used in the ocean to create a massive tsunami wave. The ruling cabal [England-U.S.-Israel-Saudi Arabia] didn't like the fact that Japan was enriching uranium for Iran.

Do you really think that they're equal? The oil lobby has allowed for looser regulations on how they can drill and transport. Nuclear regulations are more anal than a gay orgy.

modern regulations have taken care of it in that it's largely banned

Largely banned=regulated to the point of it being failsafe, something that's expensive to accomplish.

I'm not saying don't use it at all, but I don't see it as the safe alternative to fossil fuels

That's a shame because barring nuclear catastrophe (which again requires reckless construction and management), it absolutely is far safer. How do you feel about the amount of pollution that solar panels contribute?

Looks like Big Vlad has dealt with the World Cup pitch invaders.

Oh wait, this is for Anteater.

Probably more than 3000 died. But Trump isn't why supplies that got donated get lost (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/puerto-...-david-begnaud) or why the situation was mishandled, or why millions of dollars from the feds conveniently ended up in PR officials' pockets without reaching their intended recipients.

Do you have anything that isn't so biased? I want the facts but the writer is spending too much time mashing exclamation points and jacking off about knowing what they don't want you to know and I don't want to have to sort through that for their actual points.
