    Luckily home invaders and criminals never claim to be police when attempting to gain entry.

    Otherwise, that might mean you’re just a gigantic douchebag.

      I don’t even think that’s relevant. She was inside her home. The gun was her property. She had it legally. She should not have to announce that she is holding her legal property inside her own home, even if it is a gun.

        Exactly. This is TEXAS in AMERICA. She has the right to walk around her property with a personal firarm.

      They broke a window to get into their place and a short time later someone showed up and banged on the door claiming to be police. There is also a giant window right there she could look out and see it’s the police. Try to project less.

        Funny that you keep ignoring the whole part where the police started shooting either right in the middle or just after telling her to drop her weapon, giving her no time to drop her weapon.

          I’m not ignoring that part. You’re ignoring the part where she could have clearly identified the police through the window and realized that in today’s climate it might not have been a good idea to carry a gun towards the police.

            Ah, so the police were in the right because she did something that, again, was 100% legal, but was not a good idea in your opinion.

            Weird, because that doesn’t sound like something that makes the actions of the police defensible. At all.

        You should consult ChatGPT before using terms you aren’t familiar with. Shit, a quick Google search could have showed you what projection actually is, and isn’t.
