That Arlington shooting had occurred in August and first time I'm hearing about it.... after looking at the police clips a couple fact stuck out:
1) The cop was a rookie Asian-American male
2) The woman killed was falsely identified as a "black female lying in the grass" by the white guy who called the cops
3) Turns out the woman was white, homeless and a daughter of a fire chief...
4) She was well-known in that area to hang around like that; so this cop likely wasn't familiar with her nor was YT dude who called the cops
Other than the cops likely approached the woman lying in the grass armed, because he likely thought she was a black female... these two shootings are apples and oranges.
I agree these cops are really trigger-happy.. in this case a rookie who is scared of a small/medium sized dog... It was not a racially explosive shooting, like Saturday's shooting.
I'm flabbergasted they approached that woman's house like a SWAT team, instead of entering through the front door, announcing themselves. Is it because it's a black neighborhood? That clearly was not a "welfare check" approach
There is another shooting in Arlington. He was responding to a call about a woman lying in the grass.
When he approaches her a dog comes running up to him and he pulls his gun shouting at the dog 3x and shots the woman in her chest.
