So you think the cop merely got what he deserved?

“So you think the cop merely got what he deserved?”

Not at all. In this case, the officer seems to have done nothing sufficient to justify the homeowner using lethal force.

I do hold that the ‘out of control officer syndrome’ would sooner or later bring forth a disaster. This case is possibly such a disaster.

Shooting an officer in the head with a shottie is indefensible unless the officer was about to shoot the homeowner without probable cause.

In this case, were i on the jury, I would find the defendant guilty.
