He was shot to death and found inside his OWN garage.
Yes and no. Yes, a garage is part of the house. But if the garage door is open, anyone, such as a burglar the police were looking for, could dash inside it. He had to open a door to enter the garage, and that was his mistake.
Importantly, let me distinguish: it was not a legal mistake, but a tactical mistake, which is worse.
“He was shot to death and found inside his OWN garage.”
Which indicates the cops were in there too. Ergo, they had entered the garage without serving the search warrant. Why?
They were robbing his garage. He responded and they shot him. The warrant was their license to steal and justification for being on the ‘wrong’ property.
