FWIW, I think the Marine was probably involved in crime. But if it happened at my house, I’d be just as dead,...
I'm interested to know why you think he was involved in crime.
“I’m interested to know why you think he was involved in crime.”
There had to be evidence of something for a warrant to be issued. And someone can leave the Marines and be evil - Lee Harvey Oswald, anyone?
Maybe he was innocent, and maybe not - I don’t care. That is no way to serve a warrant. If they pulled the same stunt at my house, I would almost certainly be shot too - for having a 44 magnum in one hand!
But that isn’t a crime, and the crime he was accused of doesn’t carry the death penalty either. So why set him up to die?
And BTW - if he had been a real bad ass, he’d have opened fire on those bozos from the side window at point blank range - from the side!
