What’s the problem, couldn’t pass the mailman test so you became a cop? If he shot one of my family members ( Cause that’s what they are) you better not be on my property cause I would have claimed trespassing and put a round in his ass.
When I lived in CA. the Sears store was behind our house. A shoplifter was being chased by the Cops and bailed over our fence the Wife was sun bathing and our dog cornered the perp in the corner of the fence when the cops bailed over the fence he was tagged, Misty got a thanks from the Cops! Today prob have been dead!
And, of course, you were afraid for your life - you know how cops are...
