re: Bodycam and Ring video from guy shot by police supposedly defending home from burglar

so tragic!

That was fricking absurd

That’s way worse than George Floyd

There’s nothing illegal about holding a gun on your property.

He fired that gun indiscriminately into his home, or at someone inside his home. Who then made a beeline out the back door

Either way, that is 100% illegal

Put the gun d..” immediately pulls the trigger in rapid succession

What the frick

Cop will walk and get a paid vacation. All they will need to prove is that a reasonable cop would have felt threatened by a man possibly pointing a rifle at him.

Not saying it's right, but that's the legal standard.

The neighbor is a bitch because he was in a well lit area. Shouldn’t he know his neighbors?

When I watched the door bell cam, cop body cam and listen to the 911 call and the police radio dispatch to the officer I couldn`t help but notice some things.
The 911 caller explains that the homeowner with the riffle had reported to him earlier of possible concerns of suspicious people in the area. That he was pointing the weapon down the street and towards his house and that he fired 2 shots in his house. And was holding his riffle in a down ready position.
So then the radio dispatch person tells the cop in route that a “subject” had a riffle pointing it down the street and around his house etc, referring to him only as a “subject”.
Unless there is more audio we have not heard, the dispatch person did not explain to the officer in route that the man with the riffle was the homeowner and had reported earlier to the 911 caller/neighbor of suspicious character concerns that day around his house. This definitely would have changed the mindset of the officer approaching the scene and how he handled it.
Regardless, it is clear the officer did not give even one second for the guy to surrender as he was not pointing it at anyone.

Cops lives matter…more than anyone else’s which is repeatedly made clear to all of us.


I said this for years this is because of how they are trained now, whoever represents this guy in the wrongful death lawsuit we all know is coming needs to go after these training companies. I think I posted some of the training videos on here or someone else did, they are on here. they are taught not to risk their lives, shoot first ask questions later just like recon marines. we are all viewed as potential criminal murderers by cops because that’s how they are trained now.

So this will happen over and over again. in all the states with no permit open carry, bama in January, and it’s like the Wild West.

They probably aren’t criminally liable but they are clearly civilly liable to his estate

and shot his gun outside of his house into his home in a neighborhood. That is illegal.

Not if he actually thought there was someone in the house.
