So, the cops go to someones door in the middle of the night, knock on a door without identifying themselves as police officers, they do not have their weapons drawn and the man who lives there opens the door with an intent to defend himself if he needs to and the police officers then have to draw their weapons and shoot the man? I am sorry but I think that is hard to believe, how hard would it be to shout "police officers PUT YOUR WEAPON DOWN" while drawing their guns?
It would have saved this persons life. But I think they had their guns drawn or in their hands.
Failed police procedures? Check the address out before knocking on a persons door in the middle of the night. Identify yourself as a police officer if you knock on a door in the middle of the night.
you may find it hard to believe and thats fine by me, I asked what the failed procedures are because per the story we dont have proof of any.
If you are suspect of the story thats fine by me.
they most certainly do not have to announces themselves for simply knocking
they may or may not of had their guns drawn, I dont know but its a non-impact to the current details
we also do not know the mans intentions, yes I would also ASSUME he wanted to protect himself BUT if he was pointing the gun that doesnt matter what his reason is.
nobody said its hard to yell anything by why do they have to, why risk it, you werent there I wasnt there so again them choosing to shut or not is another detail that has no impact.
Im still waiting on the failed procedures, they do not have to identify themselves doing a door knock that is fact nor do they have to check an address, what address? who says the guy even lives there in those apartments, maybe the bike is parked at a GF apt.
So to recap, you think its fishy and I have no problem with that but per the info we have there weren't any failed procedures.
Also to recap things that are of no current impact
Time
address
guns drawn or not
police announcing themselves
none of this things have a current impact to the story, we can disagree with them and have OPINIONS of what they could/should have done but thats all it is, opinion.
