>Many of these accusations against the police were repeatedly posted and discussed on FR as being facts, not allegations.
Some of them were more “matter of interpretation” the siren they had on for 8 sec or so according to what I saw on the helmet cam; there are CAR ALARMS that go off longer than that.
The time from “announce’ to bust in the door is frighteningly short and indicative that they would have shot if they had seen any ‘sharp movement’... you know, like the startling event of having your door busted-down.
>I particularly like the one about the cops supposedly responding differently because the gun was on safe.
I never saw someone here saying that the cops should have acted differently because it was on safe; I *DID* see a lot of people saying that the weapon being on safe affirmatively disproves the police’s claim (at least in some of the stories) that he fired first.
Nelson's carronades were loaded with a round shot and a barel of musket balls. Claymores are illegal for citizens to own. However, replica black powser cannon are legal. The have to be muzzle loading*, but nothing says they can't be command detonated, and they can be scaled down from the 3000lb guns of Nelson's time to something more manageable that works just about like a claymore. Just sayin'
*Not like you're going to survive long enough to reload them anyway.
