As I said to another poster, if you want to prove you’re top dog at your home, just waltz on out there with a gun and yell at the officers. While you’re at it, wave the gun around as you yell at them.
That’ll show em!
I’d prefer you not do that for your own safety, but there’s no reasoning with you, so do as you think best.
Good luck with that.
Really what that is, is suicide by cop. The guy doesn't need to shoot first.
OF COURSE only an idiot would go around waving a gun and yelling at the officers. But EVEN THEN -- who fired the first shot? I call bullshit. If you're gonna be a cop, then be willing to err on the side of avoiding execution, even if it puts your life in danger. If not, get another job.
Compassionate, understanding lawmen are one thing. Scared-bully cops who demand "top dog" status to the point of execution ... need to find another line of work.
Doughty One, your way makes it impossible for people to defend themselves against imposters, EVER. It makes my blood run cold to think that "attitude" and "top dog" are remotely related to justification for cops shooting a guy dead in his own home.
""He displayed a gun," Flippo said. Investigators aren't sure yet whether the weapon was government-issued or not. They're also not sure whether the man fired his gun, or even pointed it at his wife or the responding Seaside cops. "
OK, cop, point out where the article says the guy did this:
just waltz on out there with a gun and yell at the officers. While you’re at it, wave the gun around as you yell at them.
Still sounds to me like a guy that heard a commotion, and wisely armed himself not knowing what the hell was going on. Be interesting to know (if lies are not told) if he was given time to do anything before they opened fire. The article definitely does not say he was waving a gun around, which would make anyone nervous.
