    Jesus Christ. Yet again a law abiding citizen is responsible for recognizing the police and responding in the exact right way in a split second. While the police are allowed to act like terrified wild animals.

    I take that sentence back after seeing the run up footage linked in this article. This was nothing more than an ambush. They knock on the door and then move off to the side. They then open fire the second they see her. There was zero chance for the victim to even realize it was the police.

      It’s legal to carry a gun in the US, but cops can execute you if you have one. Really surprised there haven’t been more reports of homeowners mag dumping at cops and then the excuse at trial could just be “thought it was a break in”.
