The story says he picked up a gun. If he knew they were cops, his shooting was justified. The problem is whether he knew or should have known they were police. IMO, news accounts are difficult to base those decisions on.
In South Florida home invaders have been know to identify themselves as cops.
in the video the police spokesman first stated that "he had a loaded gun in his presence" and then quickly changed it to "in his possession".
Sounds pretty much like these lil shaved head, minimum wage, minimum intelligence drug warriors running loose around here.
