Inattentional Blindness

I have to confess, I struggled with this one. Amber Guyger was justified in shooting black man, Dallas ex-police chief says. I’d have to say this ex-police dude is totally wrong. A woman, a police woman, wasn’t paying attention to what she was doing, walks into an apartment she thought...

What is the number one rule of Funk?
