Barnette doesnt exactly sound level headed, but the “professional” cop sounds like a cold blooded killer.
So let’s see if I’ve got this right - A cop, working on Christmas Eve, gets dispatched to a panic alarm at an apartment. He (or she, unsure) arrives, goes to the apartment and is attacked by a woman with a knife and a gun. The officer, under attack by an armed person, uses deadly force to stop the attack.
And you say, “...the “professional” cop sounds like a cold blooded killer”? Wow. I sincerely urge you to blow off any and all jury duty notices that you might receive.
