I have wondered about this since it happened, and yes the training does need to be changed. There is never a reason to shoot a shoplifting suspect unless they have a visible weapon and appear to reach for it. Reasons to taser such a person should also exist before that is done as well. Did she provide open resistance to the officer?

As for that case in Texas I'm finding media shots at trying to get the cop a fair trial that rile me a bit. They keep saying that Amber Guyger mistakenly shot and killed her neighbor. That bothers me. Neighbor my ass! She was on the wrong floor of the apartment building and claims she thought this was her apartment. Working a full shift beforehand does not excuse this sort of behavior and poor judgement and her trial will have to be a complete circus.
