Let’s reverse the situation. What if the homeowner shot the cop first because he thought she was an intruder?

Hmmm.. I can only guess what the outcome would be.

Can you imagine if the 17 year old was also in this frightening uniform in addition to having his Wii controller?

The picture at the linked site could terrify any young cop who has his/her gun drawn.

A guy (Michael Dunn) got convicted of attempted 2nd degree murder just the other day for shooting into a car full of black kids because he thought they pointed a shotgun at him.

Wanna bet this cop walks scott free with maybe a paid vacation at most as discipline?

A cop can basically shoot ANYONE without provocation and walk away scott free by saying “I thought they had a gun” and yet that very same excuse never works for normal citizens? If a normal citizen guns down a cop... saying... I thought they had a gun... wont keep them from a 1st degree murder conviction.

Hell after reading all these articles people might just go ahead and shoot the cop holding a gun when they open the door and claim self defense. If you don't you risk getting shot yourself.
