A white Dallas police officer who said she mistook a neighbor’s apartment for her own and fatally shot him in his living room was sentenced Wednesday to a decade in prison in a stunning courtroom scene that included the dead man’s brother and the black judge embracing the sobbing officer.

I am not sure how I would feel about someone who shot my brother, but kudos to this guy and his courage to do this.
It is so easy to get caught up in the drama of all of this race/law enforcement/etc, but this guy, who has "the right" to be bitter, chose to rise above it, deny the victim label that the world tried to give him, and see a person as a person.
His choices have a louder voice than just the words he spoke and the actions he took.
Again Kudos, Mr. Brandt Jean. Thank you for your example.
