    A joke saying a dog is racist is a tasteless, stupid joke.
    Saying that you are racist as well is, well, racist.
    “It’s okay.. I’m the same,” Guyger wrote back about the dog

    Well, not to read too much into the mind of her, but the conversation is sort of preposterous -- a dog is racist? Bizarre.

    Any text or tweet beginning 'not racist, but . . .' usually is.

    shooting an unarmed black man in his own house might confirm the racism shown in her conversations with her friends.

    It might indeed. We'll never know if she would have shot a white man in the same situation. Not that I want to give her that chance. The whole story is insane. Walking into the wrong apartment, thinking it's yours, then shooting the guy who is there. I mean, maybe if you're drunk. But just tired after a long shift?

    I still wonder if she knew, or had a relationship with, the victim.

    Young and dumb, truth and justice, fantasy
    Fresh out of the academy
    Five-time loser bust his head, make your day
    Unless you're paid off then you look away
    Do you think this corruption will ever stop
    What makes a person want to be a cop
    Ran a red light, storm the house and bust the guy
    Do you like to see his children cry

    Pick up a hooker and take her for a little ride
    But get sucked off on the side
    Sworn to serve and protect, forget the killing
    Badge-wearing facist villian
    Pissed in the street, you bust the guy
    Do you like to see his children cry

    The badge means you suck
    A child lies there dead
    As you look back, what goes through your head

    Young and tough, truth and justice, fantasy
    Fresh out of the academy
    Five-time loser bust his head, make your day
    Unless you're paid off then you look away
    He burned a flag, storm the house and bust the guy
    Do you like to see his children cry

    Ran a red light, take her for a little ride
    But get sucked off on the side
    The badge means you suck
    A child lies there dead
    As you look back, what goes through your head

    Talk to them, you can work it out
    You better not even try it
    You make a play for his gun
    They'll kill you say it was a riot

    What's behind the badge?

    I've heard people joke about their dog barking only at black people. Pretty sure I have heard it as the premise of a joke in movies and sitcoms.

    We've joked about it in our home, about our own black dog.

    Neither my wife nor I have ever followed it up with, "I'm the same".

    And she gets 10 years, parole eligible after 5.

    She probably could've copped to 2 years at the beginning and gotten it.
