Donovan Lewis Shooting (NSFW)

How he suddenly heard the police at the very moment they opened the door seems odd to me.

For 10 minutes prior to the cops opening the door there was screaming and dogs barking, but he suddenly woke up with the door being opened? Very strange.

You never know i know some very deep sleepers he could have been on medication, or drunk passed out. Either way no excuse to shoot this man in his bed and kill him.

It just seems odd he woke up precisely at the very second the cops opened the door after all the commotion. And the cop firing the round seemed panicked too esp with the immediate holstering.

The entire episode seems very weird on multiple levels from multiple perspectives.

I guess the cop interpreted the right arm moving forward as a threat to his life. I don't think that is easily explained. What he did or didn't do in the moments leading up to the shooting isn't relevant. Sure the criminal is a bad person and needed to be in jail but surely they could have watched the apartment tomorrow when everyone was presumably sober and then attempted contacting him. Multiple bad decisions by law enforcement.

Of course the first two guys lie and "don't know nuffin"

Yeah I think he was a bit trigger happy.

Police have more in common with special forces than their communities these days. Can we look in to stopping the door busting raids all together?

The police have the resources to surprise thes guys and arest them safely in public but they get such a hard on when they get to bulldoze some two bit drug users front door.

These raids remind me of how Waco could have been avoided entirely if they had just arrested David Koresh while he was out on his daily run.

Yea that cop is screwed and rightfully so. Personally I wish all peeps who don’t comply would take a shot to the noggin, but being scared of what the potential perp may have shouldn’t equal a death sentence.

This doesn't look good for the cops. He fired and identified no threat other than a moving arm, then holstered his weapon as if no threat.

It's like Columbus Ohio is a breeding ground for this kind of shite.

Cop thought he was going to be shot.

It's actually a good, clean justified shooting.

Comply or die. It's as simple as that.
