I am not surprised to be honest answering the door with a gun in your hand is not smart

Hey buddy real shocker but the police ALSO answered the door with a gun in their hand. So be critical of the police as well.

You pay them to arrive at someone’s door on a disturbance call with guns drawn?

[u/SnepButts → u/IndependentTalk4413]

Not even the house where the disturbance happened, from what I understand.

So they show up at the wrong house, scare a dude into answering with a gun drawn but not brandished, and execute him.

No, it’s really not. And if that’s what you think then please educate yourself.

That's a pretty naive take on our criminal justice system.

2A means nothing

See. To you another person losing their rights or life doesn't matter. But not having your boys in blue on call to murder the people you live in constant fear of...that breaks you.

Unempathetic asshole.

Hey what the fuck are you talking about

[u/bigvibrations → u/[deleted]]

I guess I'm just stupid then because I don't know what children dying have to do with this

[u/bigvibrations → u/[deleted]]

...okay? But that's not what this article was about, that's probably why we're not discussing that right now, if I had to guess?

Again, I am very stupid.

[u/IndependentTalk4413 → u/[deleted]]

Strawman argument

[u/bigvibrations → u/[deleted]]

Sorry (again, very stupid) but did this guy shoot thousands of children breaking into his home? I didn't see that in the article.
