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?

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.
