Normally I rip on iggy up there, but he’s spot on.
It's like a plane crash, you don't want to watch it, but you can't look away.
BS. Sorry, but that's lame. "Well, yeah. I uh...I uh...okay, so I shot him. But hey, I was like...you know tired and all, I mean I had just got off work after working a full shift."
Jeebus.
Right now we have no clue how the apartment complex is laid out, no clue what this officer went through on her shift, no clue as to her mental and physical state. So to completely dismiss a very plausible explanation is the true BS. Does it excuse her? No. But so far this thread has already delved into the "She must have been drunk or high" arena. There were a few probes into was this racially motivated. I chose a path that is plausible and could explain how this happened without painting the officer as a drunk or racist. How often do you look at your door when you walk to it? What if her apartment was in the same place just one hallway down? If she was tired its very easy to see her go down the wrong hallway, grab the door and feel it turn, go inside and see a person in the apartment and jump to the conclusion that her apartment was being burglarized.
Truth is none of us know what led to this except for the cop mistook this guy's apartment for hers and shot him.
Narrative 1: Tired and/or stressed officer is disoriented and enters wrong apartment, encounters and kills occupant of same.
Narrative 2: Officer is inadequately vetted, trained and supervised. Police department and "culture" is too lax and forgiving of their own....leading to criminal misuse of force.

I think I'd rather she be drunk. The PD can refrain from drinking, but I doubt the stress and exhaustion are going away.
If we're going to speculate then I go with narrative 3: Jealous ex-girlfriend with door key either knowingly or unknowingly by him of said apartment.
Oooh, a murder 1 theory!
Exactly. Even if she was too “exhausted” to think straight, she’s still responsible for her actions.
There is more to this story for sure. The only problem is there were no witnesses, that we know of. It disturbed me when the Chief was asked if the officer was in custody and she replied that she didn’t know where the officer was.
If any of us committed a similar act, would we not be in custody, at least for a short time?
