you come to his door late at night?, don’t announce yourself, multiple unknown people in a group, shine a light in his face and it’s his fault the reaction is to point his gun? stupid fucks were not even at the right location
this shit should have been done in broad daylight if they are going to be so incompetent
the beginning of your second sentence sure is correct lol…
As I said. Don't open the door. Call the police. Getting a weapon BEFORE you see anything / know anything makes you an idiot, plain and simple. Because it doesn't matter that this time it was the police. It could've been an injured person, someone in an emergency, someone who is having health issues, and they'd get a gun pointed at them.
lol it’s ok to show up at the wrong person’s house, unannounced, in a group, armed but the home owner in his rightful home is the idiot?
police procedure caused this, police action murdered him
you can continue to lick boots but we don’t have to listen to your bullshit
It's totally ok to point your gun at people, according to you.
It is. Either we need guns for protection and it is okay to point them at people in certain circumstances, or we don't need guns for protection and they should be outlawed beyond certified uses like sport shooting, hunting, and collecting. I don't understand your seeming belief that guns are okay to own, but not okay to use.
Your coming up with bullshit excuses to ultimately survive the cops making mistakes. It's interesting that you don't mention shit the cops could of done to avoid having a gun pointing at themselves. Not obfuscating target recognition. Announcing themselves. Not being at the wrong fucking address.
Instead you focus on a guy woken up in the middle of the night who did nothing illegal and focus on what he could do to survive the cops mistakes.
Fuck you
