Wasn’t it the dust cover? Or maybe the exposed part of the bolt?
Wasn’t the guy acquitted of murder?

I called it a case, but I believe it was actually a dust cover. And yes the cop in the Shaver case was acquitted. For one thing, the judge did not allow the rifle cover to come into evidence. “Too prejudicial”.
And for another thing, if you’re a cop and say you feel threatened, I guess you are allowed to shoot all you want. Shoot a dog. Shoot a crying man laying prone on the floor. Shoot a man holding a cell phone. Whatever.
(And yes, I know that cops have a very difficult job. But they are shooting people that in no way deserve to be shot. It just ain’t right.)
