Summary
In yet another incident of violence involving police and an ethnic minority, Dallas, TX police officer Amber Guyger, has been charged with manslaughter for shooting and killing Mr. Botham Jean. Reportedly, Officer Guyger mistook Mr. Jean’s apartment for her own and shot him when he opened the door to his own residence. In this episode of the Just Thinking broadcast, Darrell and ‘Omaha’ (Virgil Walker) discuss the concerning circumstances surrounding this incident, while pointing listeners to the truth of the gospel and what is fundamentally important for us, as Christians, to remember in light of this situation: that even police officers are sinners, as are we all, and that our desire for justice must be rooted in God’s standard of righteousness, and not in our ethnicity.
