>>>>>According to the cops: The two officers encountered an armed Waller near the corner of his home, told them they were police and to drop his gun. Waller didn't drop his gun and instead raised it at Hoeppner who proceeded to fatally shoot the senior citizen seven times.<<<<<<
This was not what witnesses said, but what the cops told the Grand Jury.
He raised his gun at the cops?
Tell me, why would a law abiding citizen do that if he saw uniformed cops who immediatly yell out, "Police drop your weapon"
What would be his motive to then point a weapon at the cops?
Don't make much sense to me unless they said "police, drop it", while at the exact same time emptied on him.
Or did they say anything first? Are there witnesses to support this?
As I said, if reports are true. People do things that don’t make sense at the time and it doesn’t work out well. Being shot by the most law abiding citizen can make a person just as dead.
Given the circumstances it may never be proven who was at fault. But as a rule, anyone points a gun at me I have to assume they intend to use it.
