That is a clear case of suicide by Cop. Hope he at least had one more good meal off that BBQ he had going in the parking lot.Trouble at the motel 6. Similar situation, domestic assualt. Guy comes to door with gun. 100% different body language, attitude etc. shots fired!

Sorry, that doesn't fit the narrative of some people. They better rehire him really quick so that some of the commenters don't have egg on their faces.Looks like the deputy involved has been fired.

Hey, sorry, I wasn't ignoring you. I left for Scotland the day of your post and just saw this. It sucks. Worse for the guy who was killed and for the officer.@WillametteWill looking forward to any comments you have on this one. I have my non-Leo perspective (seems to me like cop could have pointed gun at him and gave him commands to drop the gun etc) but don't know what it's like being a cop in that situation. Seems like cop saw a gun and freaked.
LEO had the wrong weapon in his hand and it cost him. After reading the story seems the LEO bought his own camera for work. Scum was caught and given 35 years. Real waste of tax money there.Here is a shooting where the officer waited for the suspect to comply with his hands. While many don't understand how an officer can be so quick to respond to the sight of a gun, this is how fast the suspect was able to draw and shoot his gun from concealment.

If he would have deployed it at first non compliance, he would have had a chance.LEO had the wrong weapon in his hand and it cost him.
There is zero doubt lawyers are already getting the papers together. The fired Cop will not have much if anything they can get. The Department will of course end up paying a settlement. Was the Cop "wrong", yes. Did the guy who died screw up BIG time? Also yes. A pay out will come along years from now but the one who yanked the door open with gun in hand will still be dead. The old saying you can be dead right comes to mind here. So to anyone who wants to do what the one who got shot did? Have at it. If you live you will be paid well if you really think its worth it.I assume the sheriffs department will be sued I wonder if the cop will be sued personally too?
You can blame the victim all you want that cop was 110% wrong!
I think the reason we are seeing more of this is the growing prevalence of cameras, body, doorbell and cell phones allow us to see it and to see it from more than just the perspective of the survivorWhile I am glad they kicked the LEO loose we sadly are only going to keep seeing more of this. Hiring standards have been lowered all over, along with many who hire according to fill the correct boxes. The left and the war on Cops is getting them just what they asked for and again they will scream when they get what they begged for. Unqualified people in the job will lead to more really bad outcomes.
Body Cams first started to hit a couple decades ago. When they did I was VERY pro the idea. It would weed out the few bad apples and would also be great for the HUGE number of cases where after an arrest the person arrested would of course make all kinds of false claims.I think the reason we are seeing more of this is the growing prevalence of cameras, body, doorbell and cell phones allow us to see it and to see it from more than just the perspective of the survivor
THIS! If someone is pounding on your door claiming to be a Cop, do NOT open the door. If you don't have camera, window, peep or such call 911. Tell the operator someone is pounding on your door claiming to be a Cop. They will be able to tell you quickly if the person on the other side of the door is a Cop.Maybe oddly, but my main take-away from this incident is not that I should immediately subjugate my rights out of fear and disarm myself making assumptions. IE., That the LEO is legit, there for a legitimate purposes and that I am obligated to open the door.
*To qualify that, I'm talking about a case like this where a person can think of no reasonable cause for a LEO to be knocking on their door.
My take-away? Never open your door without confirming the identity and intent of the person outside. Even if they claim to be LE you don't actually know that without calling in to verify... which you "should" do. Do your due diligence and slow down the encounter to allow for communication to occur on both sides before deciding on a course of action.
IE., If you confirm their identity, ascertain why they are there and feel assured there is no threat, you may choose to disarm. Alternatively, the LEO could be made aware that you are armed, plan to stay that way, but be assured that you pose no threat.
The nutshell: The guy was under no obligation to disarm himself, nor to open his door. If he hadn't... he would still be alive today.
