-you know the dispatcher put the idea into the man’s head that he COULD be shot if he went outside....that sounds to me like it heightened the man’s fear of being shot so that he was more likely to shoot first ask questions later.

Glad you agree with my post #32:

It also may be a good argument for what Mr. Horn ended up doing. After all, if a trained member of the police department, who listens to these type of calls day in and day out, THINKS that the perps are likely armed, and may shoot a citizen who confronts them, then Mr. Horn SHOULD believe it and be prepared to respond.

He WAS prepared.

He DID respond.
