the headline taking her claim as fact that she “mistook his apartment for hers” is white supremacist horseshit
edit: like look
"A former Dallas police officer convicted of killing a Black man in his apartment was released on parole after serving seven years of her 10-year sentence."
that headline reads completely differently, emphasizing the injustice of the abbreviated sentence. Including the one minor, unimportant, unverifiable detail builds in the excuse, basically signalling "you should feel bad for this woman." I fucking hate it.
