I see absolutely nothing in this description or in the bodycam footage that indicates Atatiana Jefferson did anything wrong. dallasnews.com/news/crime/201…
The officer did not announce himself at any point. So, to Atatiana Jefferson it would have seemed like a strange man with a flashlight was lurking around her home at 2am while she was inside with her nephew. It's reasonable that she would have taken her gun to investigate.
On the other hand, it is not at all reasonable that the officer did not announce his presence to try and figure out the situation or if there was an actual threat before searching the property.
While I'm sure he didn't intend for things to go this way it was his mistake that created the problem and led directly to the death of somebody who had committed no crimes and done nothing wrong. He is now facing murder charges. dallasnews.com/news/crime/201…
