    According to the 2020 Census there are now over 1500 ethnic differences in America. You would have to be a mind reader to be able to visibly see the difference between a bad and good person.

    America has cost many many military people life or limb with restrictive rules of engagement.

    It comes down to what level of collateral damage is acceptable as well as the difference between an occupying force vs public servants (remember "serve and protect")?

    If you're unsure who it is, arm yourself, lock yourself in a back bedroom and call 911. If it's the police, the dispatcher will tell you, if not, and they break in you do what you've got to do.

    There's a lot of bogus info out there on this one even AFTER the video has been released. There was only one deputy and he did NOT bust down the door. The deceased opened it himself while holding a handgun.

    This will be ruled a legal shoot but there's no doubt it's a horrible situation

    I hate it when things like this happen. Makes you nervous about what to do as far as protecting yourself. Unless a officer has a warrant he doesn’t come in the door. Now if screams or gunshots are heard I think they would be justified in kicking the door in. But a cop has to protect themselves. So without being there or personally knowing the people involved it’s hard for me to pass judgment on the situation. It’s a sad deal.

    If the first shot hits you and you can’t fire until fired on that would mean your are dead.

    You're triggered that they capitalized "Black American" ? Is that what you got out of the article?
