*Dallas police have been accused of trying to cover-up the shooting of Botham Jean and their latest stunt have folks across the nation outraged.
The Dallas Morning News was first to report that law officials were intentionally withholding the 911 call former police officer Amber Guyger after she shot and killed Jean inside his apartment last month.
Many locals, and even Jeans own family, consider this the latest sign that authorities are trying to cover up a cop’s murder of a Black man that only resulted in manslaughter charges.
“An attorney for the city said in a letter dated Monday that the Dallas Police Department and Dallas County district attorney’s office are asking Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to allow them to withhold the 911 recording requested by The Dallas Morning News,” the news outlet reported Tuesday afternoon. “Assistant City Attorney Pavala Armstrong wrote that releasing the information would interfere with the investigation into the Sept. 6 shooting.”

The decision to not make the 911 call public adds to the ongoing criticism of questionable moves by law enforcement following the shooting. Last month, officials were accused of trying to assassinate Jean’s character by releasing the findings of a search warrant that was executed on his home.
Newsone.com also noted that police allowed Guyger to move out of her apartment before they executed any of the five warrants the court issued to search her residence.
The outlet also lists other questionable decisions, such as:
*There was also the three-day delay in arresting Guyger…
*Police Chief U. Renee Hall insisting she was “prohibited” from firing Guyger one week before she actually terminated the killer cop.
*“And what’s taking so long to analyze the electronic locks that can determine if Jean’s door was unlocked, something Jean’s family said would have been out-of-character for him to do?” the outlet writes… Adding: So many questions. Perhaps some of them could be answered by making the 911 call public.
