I wouldn’t be too quick to dump on the responding officers. This guy may have had a attitude thinking himself to be the top dog on scene. We’ll see how it plays out. I don’t care who you are, if you brandish in front of officers, you’re messing with fire.

Honestly? Your words make my blood run cold. And you're probably in LE.

The "top dog" WAS the homeowner.

Hello?

Responding officers are civil frikkin' servants.

I swear to God, DoughtyOne, if yours is the common mindset in law enforcement, then ... all bets are off. A man has a right to come to the door of his house fully armed and "wielding." The homeowner IS THE TOP DOG.

Officer, you forget yourself for the civil servant (not executioner) you are.

Finny, I appreciate your position, but the guy exited his home with his gun. They did not go barging into his home without identifying themselves.

We don’t know all aspects of this yet. We’ll have to wait and see if they acted properly or not.

All I have said is that you put yourself in extreme jeopardy when you appear in front of officers with a gun in your hand.
