I think he’s probably referring to the cop banging on the door without announcing himself as “police” and then moving out of view from the peephole while he waited for the guy to open up.

the fedex guy does this at my house all the time. I dont' go get a gun. They hear the dog barking and back away from the door and i can't see them. again, i dont' go get a gun in the middle of the day to answer the door.

f someone banged on my door like that and then I looked out and couldn’t see anyone, I would certainly think it was sketchy.

---

at 4:30pm? you a drug dealer? or did you recently beat the shite out of somoene or murder someone and you're expecting retaliation? why would that be so sketchy at 430PM that you need to answer the door with a gun?

He later announced himself but I suspect the resident had already picked up the pistol at that point considering the timing of it all.

100% of normal people just answer the door at 4:30PM without a gun,






ANd i'm not saying what the cop did was right. I understand why he did what he did, but yes he absolutely could have handled it better and not shot him immediately. But I'm not goign to just blame the cop only and no place any blame on the dumbass answering the door at 430PM with a gun in his hand.
