Nonsense. She had plenty of opportunities to de-escalate. She could have called for back up. She could have retreated into the hallway. She could have gone to the fire stairs. There were ample chances for her to defuse the situation and she had more than enough training to recognize them.
So many opportunities to de-escalate in fact, that her defense was left so desperate that they actually argued the Castle Doctrine in the closing arguments. That's how many chances she had to de-escalate.
Alas, shooting someone to death in their own home.....isn't how the Castle Doctrine works.
Remember, you don't actually know what you're talking about.
Several problems with your pseudo-legal analysis:
First, she wasn't working as a cop. She was off duty. She can't give 'lawful orders as a police officer' when she's not working as a police officer. The Dallas PD *never* backed her claim that she gave a 'lawful order'. Instead, they fired her ass citing 'adverse conduct'. Even her lawyers never argued that she gave a 'lawful order'.
Second, two other witnesses to the event contradict Guyger's claim that she told Jean to 'put up his hands' in his own home.
Third, there was strong reason to believe that Amber Guyger lied her ass off. As she claimed to have given CPR to Jean. Yet there wasn't a drop of blood on her, her clothes, the gloves she was carrying, or even her shoes. Meanwhile, Jean's chest wound was spewing so much blood with chest compressions by the paramedics that the blood pooled in the stretcher and left a bloody trail behind it in the hallway.
So we have a woman who is contradicted by two witnesses and gave a statement that the evidence strongly indicates was a lie.
And yet you expect the jury to believe her?
Again my friend....you simply don't know what you're talking about.
Yeh a witness who just got killed in a drug deal. No credibility.
Says you, citing you. At this point you're just ignoring evidence that contradicts you.
The jury didn't ignore what you must to cling to your pseudo-legal gibberish.
A policeman is not a paramedic. The wound may not have even been bleeding when she tried cpr.
So your working theory is that gunshot wounds to the chest.....
don't bleed? That's probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard this year.
She didn't have a drop of blood on her. Not on her skin, not on her clothing, not on the gloves, not even her shoes. Not a single drop. Despite Jean being found in a POOL of blood, with so much blood spewing from his chest wound with each chest compression that it left a pool in the stetcher that left a bloody trail on the floor behind it.
But per your meaningless, pseudo-legal gibberish,
his chest wounds didn't bleed.
Surely you can see why the jury didn't buy that steaming pile of nonsense.
The evidence shows that Amber Guyger lied about the CPR. The prosecutor pointed it out repeatedly, even showing the jury her uniform without a drop of blood on it. The jury rightly believed the prosecutor, and the witnesses the contradicted Amber.
And all you can do is ignore the evidence, the witnesses, and make up the ludicrious fantasy that 'gunshot wounds to the chest don't bleed'.
No thank you. As I've said, you're irrational.
