Yep...
Not a righteous shoot.
Gonna be all kinds of trouble from this one.

Most police will tell you that domestic calls are the worst.

And actually going to any door other than the complaintant's door first to complete an investigation (unless the noise violation is obvious) is not customary protocol.

The place was obviously quiet...no noises detectable on the body camera. The caller gave very limited information.

It takes a very seasoned officer to deal with these calls...rough neighborhood, late at night, and anyone knocking on any door will usually get greeted with a gun.

Sure there's a reason why the officers shot...but that doesn't mean it was a righteous shoot.

Then there's the "no knock" warrants for meth production...

Ever heard of "swatting"?

People have been killed by this sort of thing as well...

It's not a game...
Police have a right to be jumpy...
So does the average person over getting visited by police.

The position has been so politicized that seasoned officers have been leaving the force in droves. So now it's a bunch of young guys with very little experience.

cops show up at night, knock on a door, guy looks asleep, probably only herad someone calling, of course he might have a gun it's both his right, and who knows who is at the door, cops just keep shooting themselves in the foot with these things.

Timing is terrible...
But it was a white guy this time...so no claims about a racist shooting this time.

It's pretty astonishing that the cops can come to your door late at night, kill you, then treat it like a routine incident. It's hardly surprising you have riots over there.
British eh?
Yeah...for some reason those in the UK have a real hatred of guns.

I doubt if you'd find anyone who 'hates' guns. A firearm is a tool, if you have feelings towards one that isn't really a natural thing. Lots of guns in the hands of untrained, crazy or irresponsible people = lots of deaths, no 'feelings' about guns involved.

Which is in any case besides the point. It is not a normal thing for citizens in a country to face being assaulted and even killed by police officers for no good reason - I don't know how much clearer that can be; it's not normal.

Because Americans don't care when it happens to minorities, it opened the door for these things to happen to Americans citizens in general.

It is a spiritual repeat of past history. I have been saying on these forums for a while that police are blue - not black, white, Asian or latino. Still, people applaud their own demise.

Oh thank God!
Another peaceful law abiding white guy gunned down in his house in front of his family by our wonderful uniformed police.
