Yeah, this wasn’t a “THIS IS THE POLICE, WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED, COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!” operation.
The brief siren sounds like a car alarm, I heard no loud verbal announcements, and imagine what you’d think, waking up and hearing a pounding at your door, your wife telling you that there are armed strangers outside, followed by a shot (door breaching), the door being kicked in, and masked armed men entering your home.
When they saw him with a firearm, they shot him to pieces.
This is a recipe for executing a perp or murdering a homeowner, strictly depending on if they get the address right and the tip isn’t bogus.
I bet Bin Laden got more of a chance to surrender than this guy got. I’m not saying he’s innocent of the crime that brought the cops to his door, that remains to be seen, but it looks like his only chance to avoid being shot full of holes was to abjectly prostrate himself the second they poorly identified cops started beating on his door, and that goes against everything the Marine Corps teaches you.
It’s disturbing at the very least, and if it turns out they went after an innocent man, it’s an outrage.
The tape is heavily edited. I'd like to see the original. There is one version toward the end where you can hear them announcing themselves loudly.
Seriously ... Whatever he may have done for a living in the past, at the time of his murder he was working as a miner, and living simply as a Citizen of these United States. His actions to defend his home and family were right and just because he was a Citizen of a free Republic.
