I assume that you don’t keep guns in your house since you called the police and then left your home per their instructions.
Here in Texas you would be a fool to (1) not have a loaded gun and (2) to leave your home per the instructions of police.
You are verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry lucky the police caught up with them. In most cases the inept police lose the crooks and the stolen property will be in a pawn shop the next day.
People, people, save your hostilities and argument energy for the demodummies. They are the ones we need to be attacking, not each other.
I feel bad for BOTh the shooter and the woman who was shot. I happened so get over it.
Over a large number of years I have had numerous encounters with police in many states and I have never encountered a rude officer. I have always been polite and explain if I going to make a movement that could be interpreted as threatening. I have had a number of experiences where the police went out of their way to help - on one ocassion they taxied me around to get an extra set of car keys to replace a set I had lost.
