Yes, since I'm constantly in the news all over the country.Q: do you have a google alert set for your username?
I’ve seen more than a few people on a couple of boards use that technique for a variety of reasons.

Thread derailments are a time-honored tradition here. Normally, though, they arise organically. They don't arise from pre-written essays held at the ready when a Google alert shows up in the posters newsfeed/alerts/email/whatever. Based on what you've posted within your first 24 hours on TGT, we now have sufficient fodder for this thread to go many different directions.Yes, since I'm constantly in the news all over the country.
Of course they do, but him answering the door (pressuming the knocked and announced) with a firearm in hand puts the officers in immediate risk of serious bodily injury or death and deadly force is 100% justified. Shitty? Yeah, but this is FAR from the first time this sort of thing has happened and it wont be the last...So a person does not have 2A rights in his on home?
Based on what that deputy's own department said, that's not correct. To quote them "the objective facts do not support the use of deadly force as an appropriate response".Of course they do, but him answering the door (pressuming the knocked and announced) with a firearm in hand puts the officers in immediate risk of serious bodily injury or death and deadly force is 100% justified.

Him simply being in possession of a firearm is not justification for deadly force when he has not acted aggressively in any way, shape, or form. I do not know how you can sit there and try to justify this officer's actions when they are so blatantly and unforgivably wrong. His own department says he's wrong. That speaks volumes.
If an officer cannot do better than that, then they should find another job.
Then the law and case law is wrong and needs to be changed. To say that this was right is morally wrong.In Texas law and case law justify the deputy's actions.
What would you have the officer do?
Wait and hope the guy doesn't shoot him?
Courts repeatedly have said that is not reasonable.
Hoping the guy who answered the door with a gun doesn't take me from my wife and kids is not a realistic option.

Not shoot immediately when there is no cause to.
The guy never once did anything aggressive. Not a single thing. You do not get a free pass on killing someone just because they have a weapon in their hand.
If you're that jumpy that the mere sight a firearm will cause you to open fire, you don't need to be a cop. He did nothing aggressive. He just opened the door with a gun in his hand resting at his side, the same way that many of this forum have done before. That alone is not justification to kill. His department agrees with that view. He was wrong, and if there is any justice to be had, he'll spend many years in prison by the time everything is said and done.
That is incorrect. The deputy was responding to a 911 call at that address/apt#.…He didn't even have a legitimate reason to knock on his door to begin with.....
Him holding a gun inside his own apartment is very different than going to another establishment brandishing a firearm. Did you watch the whole body cam video, from when he exited his vehicle all the way through the shooting?Unless there is something we dont know, I will say the officer was 100% in the right and I could have done the same thing in his shoes.
If you are going to have someone else go knock on doors when people are fighting this is the cost.
Opening the door with a gun in hand IS AGRESSIVE!
Lets change the circumstances a little bit. Lets say this dude, instead of opening his own door, opened the door to your office, or the gas station you are grabbing a coke in. yeah, lets wait to see if he shoots me... nope not waiting. He opened the door to an deputy's office and should have known who he was opening the door to.
Changing the law because of one person's poor decision to open a door with a gun in hand is short sighted to say the least...
If you carry, you may need to evaluate your mindset because the hesitation you are encouraging will get you or the ones you care about hurt or killed.
