Sooo, you are on a possible burglary call and some unknown Negro points a gun at you. What do you do? Shoot first or not? This isn’t “murder.” Accidental homicide maybe. But justifiable.

Hope you never piss off a lib and they SWAT you.

What does race have to do with it? Racist much? I know dindu’s are worthless wastes of skin but this was a fine black woman playing video games with young relatives. A fine upstanding member of society.

Put yourself in the homeowners' place.

You're in your home at 2:30 am, safe, minding your own business, and you hear a noise outside.

What is your first thought? It might be the police?

What is your first reaction regarding your own self-protection? Assume there's no threat or do you grab your gun to protect yourself?

Within seconds of hearing the noise and picking up your gun you see someone outside your window.

Again, what do you do? Assume it's the police and put your gun down?

Then you hear someone yell a command at you and before you can even react, assuming you heard the command clearly in the first place and recognize it's a police officer, the police officer starts shooting.

Most FRs recognize and defend the Castle Doctrine. That's what we have here.

The home owner heard a noise and reacted in her own self-defense to pick up her gun for self-protection.

I'm not accusing the officer of murder but his actions put both the homeowner and the police officers' lives in danger.

Other than an open door, what proof did the officer see that he believed a crime had been committed? Was there a trail of blood? Did they hear someone screaming for help?

The next time you're in your home at 2:30 am and you hear a noise and see someone outside your window are you going to assume it's a police officer?
