It may very well be the Darwin principle in action. A black woman should know better than to live in Texas. When I lived in Dallas years ago, all blacks and Latinos lived south of the Trinity River. Those that moved north were putting themselves at risk. Being "upiddy" in Texas is a capital offense.
This cop was an idiot and needs to be fired, and charged accordingly. Seems likely also that there is something wrong perhaps with the department communications here. Maybe dispatch did not clearly emphasize what the home owner inside was calling about. The Woman's initial call didn't say anything about weapons. This idiot cop just needed to go up and ring the door bell.
If the media was the justice system, the cop would already have been fired and charged without due process, as you describe.
Yeah, well there was no threat and the cop shot through a window of a house. Sneaking around the side of a house while not calling out that you are a cop sounds like a real bad plan to me. A home owner might also think they have an intruder in their backyard and go grab a gun leading to a confrontation with police.
They really needed to park out front and knock on the door while another officer watched the side of the house... there was no call about an intruder or weapons. The call was about an open door. You cant get around the fact unfortunately that this cop screwed up
