Guyger came in well below both. So, I mean, it's accountability for a white, female police officer in Texas, and that shouldn't be ignored...but while it's not quite a slap on the wrist and a "naughty naughty," it's also a much more lenient sentence than would have been given if Botham Jean had stumbled into the wrong apartment and shot Amber Guyger instead.
So there's work to be done yet on this whole "accountability" thing.

We have a thread here dedicated the female child rapists that everyone laughs and says "Why not me?" and the women typically get very lenient sentences to what I would imagine their male child rapist counterparts get. So I would assume this is as likely/more likely gender than it is racial.
Would Amber Guyger's hypothetical unattractive white twin brother with neck tats had gotten 10 years?
