I live in a county about the size of Rhode Island. IIRC, at night, there are six deputies on road patrol...six.

I was going to respond to your post but "why would a homeowner ever arm himself when he hears stalking" is just to damned stupid to answer.

“But I will have to say, what kind of citizen would draw a gun and brandish the weapon “protecting” his house?”
After midnight? ME! Protecting what is inside the house - me and mine!

Hide and Cower is how the gun-grabbers want you to live.
Free Men are proactive. Cowards hide and hope for the best.

Remember, when seconds count the cops will be there to save you in minutes.Or they'll just arrest/kill you anyway.

What did the citizen posses that he had to perform sentry duty to protect?

The plan to protect his life while performing sentry duty almost failed miserably.

>>Probably because cops are exposed to more lethal situations than your random armed citizen.<<
...and sometimes the police facilitate lethal situations such as the botched raid on a so called heroin house in Houston...that wasn't actually a heroin house. One of the lead officers fabricated intelligence that led to the drug raid that ended up with the homeowner attempting to protect his home against government invaders.
Came out of the back room with a .357 mag after intruders busted into his home. He managed to shoot 4 officer invaders before he, his wife and dog were murdered.
No heroin or paraphernalia were found. Furthermore, after the gun battle, someone discharged another round from outside the home attempting to alter evidence as to how the battle went down.
Houston police dept., instead of being transparent, they closed ranks, slow go’d releasing investigation details. To this day...still not being totally transparent.
One of the lead officers was fired and I believe faced charges. Another officer was caught falsify info.
Mess up.
To: heartwood
Maybe police training should include the idea that cops creeping around a house at night looks suspicious and scary and that it is not obvious that they are cops in the dark.
Todays cop culture drives LEOs to make every situation more dangerous and thrilling for the cop.
Routine traffic stop? Park 2-3 cruisers at various angles sticking out into the normal traffic flow.
Welfare check? Sneak up like a commando.
Serve a warrant? Why knock?
Interaction with a law-abiding citizen? Bark at them and cuff em
.for your safety.
By all means, ALWAYS escalate.

I doubt that. Being a cop isnt even in the top ten of dangerous jobs.
And even if it were true thats no excuse for shooting people who dont present a lethal threat.
