Agreed, no argument here. And, I'll be the first person to call out a cop's bad tactics and poor judgement. Although experience, training and muscle memory has a lot to do with it, you just can't do a lot to prepare for the fear factor and human instinct in every unique scenario a cop may encounter. It's like trying to teach someone not to flinch when surprised.

It's easy to watch slomo cop-cam instant replays and criticize a cop's instinctive judgement that he made in fractions of a second unless you've actually walked in his shoes. You have to weigh the totality of the circumstances. Don't hate the player, hate the game...

So anyone who comes to your door shouting police is to be automatically assumed to be just that? The right to bear arms...unless a cop sees you with it. Then you die.


Also cops don't always settle. That's a dumb thing to say. There are actually plenty of cases they have fought and won. Much like disney they only settle when the probability is a loss.

Yes, yes, exactly! You sir have a keen legal mind and understanding of the written language. You should run for supreme court justice...

Soldiers can't fire until fired on. Cops are just pussies with a badge and free reign to murder.

IKR?

Lol, I can buy a uniform, dress up like a cop, and claim to be an LEO and half the bootlickers on here would be like "Oh gee willickers, better tie myself into a pretzel before I answer the door to make sure this individual I've never seen before feels safe!" Before I rob you blind and sell your kids to whoever bids first in the government.

Just saying, it's too easy to fake being a cop. If I'm already planning on stealing your shit with you in the house, does it matter if I catch another charge for impersonation?

Get a clue, people.

Dude, that sounds hilarious! You should write a movie...

Also the cop was in a shitty position when the suspect opened the door, he had no cover to retreat to. As well he already seemed a bit paranoid approaching the door

Yep. No backup, no cover. He was in a sitting duck situation and I'm sure he had no desire to go over that 4th floor railing...

FYI, this break down of the incident is spot on.

My favorite cop-kill-da-bad-guy-holding-a-gun video on here was the one with the two animetards who were stoners detained on a traffic stop. The guy was so stoned he probably said to his buddy beside him, "I better give him dis gun, dude. I don't wanna get in no trouble for not complying." Then he exited the vehicle with the gun and was promptly shot to death "We were on our way home to watch anime and then this happened!" his buddy later protested.

I still don't believe people should be shot on sight by cops just for holding a handgun typically used in home protection and should be given at least some warning to drop the weapon unless they're in a threatening stance. Holding an assault rifle while answering cops at the door or in a car might be a different story, however, at least 2 cops I've seen in videos here were killed because the guy was handling and/or reached for his AR-15. But those two animetards (and you just know they were the type to use waifus in their avatars on forums ); I laugh every time I think of it.
