This is why no one should celebrate the arrest of a police officer. There is so much that can happen before an actual conviction and even the conviction is oftentimes mediocre sentencing.

Let’s just break down what transpired, from what was originally said to what they are now trying to spin because the revisions make this reek of police coverup to protect their own while hoping to maintain public trust — which was destroyed long ago.

First, despite this being a wellness check called in on a non-emergency line, the officers did not park in front of the house. They did not ring or knock on the door or call out and identify themselves as police. Instead, like criminals they circled the house!

Now the initial statement was that Officer Aaron Dean perceived a threat because he saw a shadow in the window so seconds after shouting for Atatiana Jefferson to put her hands up he shot. That was it. Initially.
