"...Never answer the door, never talk to the police, avoid them at all costs..."

Agreed.

Of the countless stories we read on FreeRepublic, the first question that occurs to me is WHY do people respond to door-knocks or doorbell rings?

He was a dumbass to open the door with no one visible through the peephole. Bravado got him killed by a rogue cop with poor training and probable bias of indeterminate origin (prolly a lib).

It is for this reason that I have steel security doors on my exterior doors. If I ever detect someone outside my doors - gumball lights or not - my first call after arming up is to 911. In any event, I will not willingly walk into a trap or a hornet’s nest, either potentially-deadly scenarios when those outside have the advantage.

Apartment buildings are inherently-dangerous to their occupants on a number of fronts. There’s a lesson in here for all from a number of standpoints.

Well if you don’t answer the door for cops they’ll kick your door in. So that’s not exactly an answer.
