So all the cops shot in cold blood by these thugs were just acts of “preemptive self-defense”?
Surprised the court let the defense make the argument.

Never mind. I see how they pulled his lawyer bamboozled the court:
“Stallings, 29, testified that he thought he was being attacked by civilians, had been struck by a bullet and was potentially bleeding out, his attorney, Eric Rice, told the Associated Press on Friday. Court documents show that after Stallings was hit, he fired three shots toward the van as a warning, then took cover. He surrendered when he realized he had fired at police.”
