>>>>>According to the cops: The two officers encountered an armed Waller near the corner of his home, told them they were police and to drop his gun. Waller didn't drop his gun and instead raised it at Hoeppner who proceeded to fatally shoot the senior citizen seven times.<<<<<<

This was what the cops told the Grand Jury? He raised his gun at the cops???

Why in tarnation would a law abiding citizen do that?

Can't say for sure regarding the deceased, but if I wasn't convinced the people breaking into my house for no reason were police, I might raise my gun.

If a person busts in my house with a gun and I’ve done nothing wrong why would I take their word at face value that 1. he is really a cop, and 2. even if he is a cop, that he has good intentions?
There are many reports of gangs that dress in SWAT gear that says FBI on their jackets.
If that buys them a few seconds of reluctance on the part of the armed homeowner that’s all they need.
We can thank the never ending war on drugs for all this nonsense.
I guess innocent Americans getting killed in their homes by their own government is just the price we pay to live in such a loving nanny state. Sheesh.
