Teaching officers how to react under stress after Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson killings:
Black men in the United States are about 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police than white men over the course of their lifetime, according to a recentBefore his death, he was fully aware of the stigmas he faced as a man of color, so much so that it affected the way he dressed.
"He was about forgiveness," Allison Jean said."He was about compassion. He was about reaching the underserved and underprivileged."Watch the full story on"Nightline" TONIGHT at 12:35 a.m. ET on ABC, who at the time was a Dallas police officer, was coming home from a 13-hour shift. Allison Jean is an active church member. Her son, Botham Jean, used to sing in church before he was killed by former police officer Amber Guyger in his own home."Since I heard the verdict, I am much better. I feel much lighter. So I'm using the spirit now to heal," Allison Jean said.
Fired Dallas police officer Amber Guyger becomes emotional as she testifies in her murder trial, Sept. 27, 2019, in Dallas. In this Sept. 23, 2019, file photo, assistant District Attorney Jason Hermus shows a photo of Botham Jean to the jury during his opening statement before the jury during former Dallas police Officer Amber Guyger's trial in Dallas.Carr’s 8-year-old son, Zion, was with Jefferson the night she was killed. The two had been playing video games together when a concerned neighbor made a call to a non-emergency police line about Jefferson’s doors being open.
In video obtained by ABC News of Dean’s interview for the job in 2017, he said he wanted to"serve my fellow citizens in a very up close and personal way. … I like the action and adventure that I hear [in] those stories told about the job." After the shooting, Fort Worth Police Department Chief Ed Kraus said during a news conference that"nobody looked at that video and said there’s any doubt that this officer acted inappropriately.""Until we begin to deal with this as a systemic problem that we all have to address, it is not going to be enough to prosecute Aaron Dean," Merritt said.
A key tool in Dieter’s training is a simple cloth and rope, which he calls"the hood," that he uses to cover his"students'" heads. Each time the hood comes up, the student faces a new scenario, some of which require force and some that don’t. "Her energy was high enough that she eventually shot the person. … [The person] was not a threat," Dieter said."Though he attacked her initially, to some level he moved back. … So that’s where we do not shoot. We command them down to the ground or put their hands out, but he’s no longer an active threat."
Deiter said Dalton’s response showed how the way we perceive things can change when our stress levels are high and not being controlled."It’s because we are not used to this level of stress," he said."So their truth is very different sometimes than what truthfully happened. And they will say what they believe right off the bat. … Because that’s what they really saw. But in reality, it could be that it’s totally different than that.
Dieter's training program costs $350 per officer per day. Many police chiefs across the country have said that finding money for additional training is challenging. Teresa Walter, the chief of the Havre de Grace Police Department in Maryland, has help from a private benefactor.
