Reply to comment by VyrPlan in Grammy winner is fatally shot by police after allegedly holding his wife and stepdaughter at gunpoint by Lafayette37

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.
