Y'know, I'm usually the first to complain about police abuses--and among the loudest--but this didn't appear to have anything to do with her being an officer. She could just as easily have been a drunk idiot with a carry permit (or carrying illegally, for that matter). This isn't badge abuse, just (apparently) alcohol abuse.
That's true. With each apartment having a unique key, her key would not have opened his door. Still not an excuse.

I’d agree if she hadn’t been in uniform. Just as she may have responded a certain way since she was drunk, He may have responded differently (less hostility) since she was “a copper.” Aren’t we told to trust the police?
Did I miss something saying she was intoxicated?
That's the general tone of the article, no doubt based on the fact that the chief asked for a blood draw. It's also a reasonable explanation for not realizing you're at the wrong door.
No I believe it’s the opposite, according to the article, I would assume she claims she’s sober. I was just going off of daves’s “could have been drunk,” statement.
It’s completely possible she was stone sober when she entered the wrong apartment and killed that unsuspecting man in his own home.
Who says he did nothing wrong? As another poster has suggested, he must have left his door unlocked. Now his life has been "ruined." What did he expect?
I hate this thread.
This young man and I share the same alma mater. Apparently, just graduated recently and was by all accounts a stand-up man and leader. Hate to see this. Wasteful on all accounts.
