But it’s 2019, so shooting a woman in her own home without seconds after you see her, and neglecting to identify yourself as a police officer, is now enough to get you fired, arrested, and charged with murder:
A former Fort Worth officer has been arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of Atatiana Jefferson, according to jail and court records.
Aaron York Dean, 34, resigned from the Fort Worth Police Department on Monday morning. Early Saturday morning, he shot and killed Jefferson, 28, inside her home on Allen Avenue while responding to a call from a neighbor about the front door being open, police said.
Dean was listed as an inmate in the Tarrant County Jail as of 6:50 p.m. Monday night, according to records. At about 9:50 p.m., he bonded out of jail.
Here’s hoping that this will make cops think twice, or maybe 3 or 4 times, before shooting with no warning and no cause.
