re: Florida deputy fatally shot US airman that answered the door with a gun

That’s fine in theory and if he was responding to a call about a noise complaint then I would assume his approach would have been a little different.

I can’t speak for law enforcement but your threat perception is different based on the situation. Especially one you know is very dangerous. If the officer believes that someone is being harmed inside that apartment, his approach is going to be more aggressive.

We use to have to tell our soldiers and remind them, especially the closer we got to the end of a deployment that complacency kills. It’s true and if you haven’t experienced it you might not understand it truly. (Not saying you have or haven’t experienced it, just stating for those that don’t know)

That doesn’t give him the right to gun this guy down in his doorway. I’m not saying that.
