“He failed to ID himself as police.”
Oh yes, ID yourself and get blown away?
That's not speculation. That's simple fact. That's what happened.
You're trying to defend the indefensible.
Do you remember the Boston Marathon Bombers fiasco?
LE shut down an entire neighborhood. Complaints galore about that. Cops/FBI/etc. knocking on doors, etc. all to catch terrorists yet people were appalled their rights were infringed. A homeowner saw something and alerted LE which led to an apprehension and arrest. But, the media wasn’t as concerned about that as it was about the poor immigrant blah blah blah...and many people sided with the neighborhood people who complained about their rights being infringed and the media sensationalized all that like they do.
We (people on our side, the Constitution), always somehow side with criminals, terrorists, etc. It’s amazing. Ugh!
