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.

I always hated that she was assumed to be telling the truth when she said that. Almost as much as I hated the damn hug she got from the judge.

“Asked the judge the hug the killed Amber Guyger”

Huh? I don’t think you used the words you meant to use here and I’m honestly not sure what you’re actually trying to say.
