Sounds like this ‘civil lawyer’ was none too civil on this occasion.

Apartment owner reports break in and cops then shoot apartment owner.

I wonder what the 11 year old daughter has to say about it (she was there).

They were “forced” to shoot him. Why can’t they back the hell off and get more information/wait it out before they go in guns blazing?

Suicide by cop? Although it sounds like he wanted to take a few of them with him.

It wouldn’t be the first time police were called into an ambush.

Bullets whizzing by my head is all the information I need.

Prominent? Never heard of him.

Either the cops are lying or as you say, suicide by cop.
