The white, now ex-cop, Aaron Dean, who shot and killed a Black woman, Atatiana Jefferson, has been arrested and charged with murder. Earlier in the day, the trigger happy Dean had resigned from Fort Worth PD.

According to Fort Worth Police Chief Ed Kraus, Dean would have been fired if he had not quit first.
