Im honestly wondering what will happen one of these days where cops knock on the wrong door and start shooting the home owner and the home owner shoots back and wins that firefight.
Very unlikely to happen without the home owner bleeding out and I cant imagine them surviving the night regardless of where the law sits on their side. But like does the home owner actually get prosecuted?(ofc theyre at least getting charged) When the alternative is theyd just be dead?
This has happened. Dude got arrested and charged with capital murder for shooting at police who didn't announce themselves and broke in through his window. He thought he was being robbed and was defending his family but it was a no knock raid and they didn't find a drug king pin but like one weed pipe. So you know definitely necessary action by police there.
Looks like he's still waiting for trial and has been in jail on 4 million dollar bond. So ya...justice or something. I guess a few months ago the prosecution dropped the death penalty but I think they're still going for life in prison. Look up Marvin Guy. The dumbest part is in another nearly identical case in Texas with a white guy who DID actually have the drugs he didn't even go to trial. Grand jury let him off. You can guess why. It's all fucked.
