GUN,GUN,GUN...start shooting!!!
IFF gives me nightmares.
One of my fears also, that after defending my home, I might have to respond to police coming in like gangbusters.
I continually remind myself during mental drills to put the gun down somewhere so it is not in my hand if the police show up.
I have been saying for many years: The police are not our friends. I was ahead of the curve.
I am a lifelong conservative who has worked in ministry or on staff in two church denominations.
I have never been drunk or drugged. I was called The Straight One in my youth: a term of contempt bestowed upon me by a stoner and robber.
I was taught to respect the police by my highly conservative parents. I learned in my twenties that the police were as dangerous to the lawful as to the criminal. I learned it both firsthand by experience and secondhand by observation.
Case in point: San Jose Convention Center. It matters nothing if any of those individual tax-paid bullies vote Republican; they betrayed and endangered law-abiding citizens in following orders given by de facto communists.
The police departments are composed of unionized government employees, and that makes their milieu as a whole inherently collectivist and tyrannical.
Avoid interacting with the police whenever possible. Do not answer their questions without an attorney. (Someone should have told General Flynn that.)
Correction.
Oh my....
Why is there a guy in a protective suit at the site of the shooting?
It’s not ebola that killed the intruder and the homeowner.
My understanding is when the cop shot, the cop was outside the home and the home owner was INSIDE.
It’s Calirado.
They wonder why people don’t trust them.
The commie media will say that the homeowner should have let the “authorities” handle it in the first place. That way the intruder would have killed you by the time the fuzz got there and if they happen to kill or injure the intruder they could be suied. Which is what I hope happens anyway.
If you have a gun in your hand around a police officer you will be shot without warning. The cop(s) will not be punished because that is how they are trained and are following dept guidelines.
Cops in this country ought to be certified and let loose as cops only after taking 3 years of training. Sick of this bullsh8t.
Sounds to me like a relative or family member, maybe some kind of domestic violence situation, but not enough details to draw a conclusion.
Too bad he didn’t have a dog...

The LEOs heard gunshots, so the homeowner had just fired shots and probably thought there might be other intruders in the house. There is nothing in the article indicating the officers identified themselves, so if they didn’t, they should have a big part of the blame here.
If they did ID themselves, I wonder if the 73 YO homeowner heard them, or if because he was in a self protection mindset, the words didn’t register.
There was a second thread on this yesterday.

Whatever you do, do NOT call the police. (Reminds me a Steve Martin line in Roxanne. However, incompetent firefighters won’t shoot and kill you.)
When the perp has been neutralized (zip tie, if necessary), then and only then call police.
They won’t arrive in time to help. When they do arrive, their ignorance of the situation will prove deadly to innocents.
