Where exactly would you fire shots at if you were on the other side of the door and police were knocking? The cop is showing up to what he believes is a DV incident which is one of the most dangerous for law enforcement. Why would he stand in front of the door?

Why would an officer ever send away the lone witness who could actually ID the correct apartment, in such a dangerous situation

I don’t think bringing a civilian into harms way would be the best of ideas, but that really has nothing to do with what I’m saying. If he knocked on the door and got the frick out of the way, behind a wall that offered a little more buffer and isn’t something a potential harmful actor would think of shooting through, there is nothing wrong with that. It’s routine.

He isn’t a friendly neighbor bringing over a freshly baked cake to welcome the guy into the neighborhood.

This cop has no idea what he is walking into when he is knocking on that door.

Just for the record I’m not justifying what the cop did in regards to shooting. Simply stating there is nothing wrong with knocking and stepping to the side.
