so the wife and adult step-daughter go to the cops saying he threatened them with a gun, and when he fell asleep they escaped - so police show to to his place first thing raring to get him

i don't know what this man did/didn't do - but i do know the video makes it look like that first cop opened up on the dude before the other officer could even tell him to get his hands up

maybe i'm wrong, but it sure appears like the guy barely gets to his front door (full glass) when they start blasting through it

Dude got straight up murdered. They gave him less than a second to comply. It's like the cop wasn't actually giving an order he wanted the guy to follow, he was just saying the magic words that allowed him to kill without consequences. That's not how it's supposed to work.

This one sounds like an actual barricaded individual. Didn’t we just learn that protocol is to secure the area and call in a trained negotiator to make contact?

No, let’s just go in on someone we already know is alone and likely having some kind of mental breakdown and is armed.

Trigger-happy American cops? How unusual!
