That's not good enough. That's a 'Blame the Victim' mentality. That mentality only leads to people like you defending them murdering innocent Citizens too. You'll probably say something like, 'Well then don't call the Police if you don't want to accept the risks. Put your family away. If you want to save them.' It's a very misguided and dangerous mentality.
Good point. Do not call the police if you don't want to accept the risk. When the police show up, they have no idea what's going on other than the basis for the complaint. It could be shots fired, or man with a knife or domestic assault. They don't know. So make sure everyone is secured. It isn't blame the victim, it's blame the stupid. Until the police have made a determination, themselves, everyone they encounter on a call is presumed dangerous. When the police become mind readers, get back to us.
Police shoot innocent man.
LA deputies mistakenly killed innocent man in West Hollywood | abc7.com
Authorities responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call in the 900 block of Palm Avenue at 9:29 p.m. Monday. At the time, their information stated that the suspect was a white male wearing a black shirt.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they saw a man coming out of an apartment covered in blood, and then a second man ran out. That man, identified as 30-year-old John Winkler of West Hollywood, was wearing a black shirt and appeared to be lunging at the victim, investigators said.
"Believing Winkler was the assailant and the assault was ongoing ... three deputies fired their duty weapons at him," the sheriff's department said in a statement.
The police did nothing wrong. Why do you think that is?
