Ditto that.
One of the cops had an AD just as the door came down so then everyone opened up down the hallway. They immediately backed out and waited over an hour to get their stories straight and then “discover” the dead Marine in his house with an AR-15 laying next to him. He had 21 hits on his body. Safety was ON.

Judges are merely people, with all the faults people have.
Chief Justice Roberts has done plenty he should not have as well.
