People keep blending two separate incidents. The door kicking in the Dallas area (I think that is where that one was), and this far more innocent one in Houston.
I don’t think it matters whether the door was kicked or not.
If the perp was running away, don’t shoot unless you want to wind up in deep...yogurt.
I have yet to see any recount of the incident from the suspect. City officials claim ringing doorbells. No confirmation from the kids, none from the shooter, and none from any kind of recording.
After 2020, I’m very suspicious of official announcements from officials of the government, especially when I cannot find out the ethnicities involved.
If the doorbell was rung, the shoot was bad. If the door was kicked, it’s a more clouded situation. I’d like some real evidence, not just the word of a city official who has a vested interest in protecting certain demographics.
