. Could be... Not for us to decide, but for the lawyers to decide after all facts are gathered completely.When you call the cops to tell them you want to turn a gun over to them ...that isn't done on a 911 line. The man hadn't done anything wrong so why would he expect the responding officers to come to his door with weapons drawn and barking orders. That was a non emergecy situation that was mishandled by the dispatcher and the cops.. His choice to keep his gun was a huge mistake on his part. The cops may have had the profile from the profile run on him, and he may have had multiple charges/warrants on him, and he may have had gun charges on him as well, so they weren't taking any chances. Can't blame them if the guy had a rap sheet 10 miles long.Let's see.... he has a gun raised above his been and a half dozen cops screaming for him to drop the gun and who knows what else. . . But the cops are (in your view) justified to shoot him even before he can make even the slightest move to comply. . .
Yeah, that makes sense.
Serious question here. . .
Lets agree the dude that was killed was a walking pile of shit and in all likelihood was hellbent on suicide by cop.
Whatever it was that got him to the point where he was there, exiting the house with his hands in the air and a gun in one of them. Cops are screaming drop the gun and get on the ground. Then, we know what happens, they shoot him dead...
My question is this. . . At that moment where he is standing there with his hands in the air. . . What could he possibly have done at that point to produce a different result? What could he possibly have done at that point. . . That he would still be alive?
Drop the gun?
Yeh...tell that to the victim's wife and 5 kids.
