    I mean, that was back during the halcyon era of prosecuting police officers who shoot civilians in their sleep. The offending officer received 11 years, 10 months, and 12 days - the jury picked the date of the shooting for the sentence - for manslaughter.

    But this was back in 2022 when the Dallas PD was Woke. Can’t imagine it happening today without a gubernatorial pardon in the mix.
