Jeeezzz,,, I can’t believe that service in Iraq doesn’t allow a guy to shoot his neighbors house, run through police roadblocks, and run grab a shotgun to confront cops with! They should have just let him do anything he pleased,, forever,, with no limits!
Glad this guy won’t be a menace anymore. Sad that it went this way, but the failure was long before this night. It was that he wasnt locked in a nuthouse.
He should have never been living on his own if he was so screwed up by ptsd that he cannot refrain from being a danger to the community.
Sounds like those cops gave him a lot of latitude,,, they waited till daylight instead of pushing the issue too fast,, they let him LEAVE. They let him return,, they let him into the house to retrieve his shotgun.
Dixon was known to be 100% disabled and suffering from advanced PTSD. They killed him when they turned the scene over to SWAT. He needed psychiatric care, not gunfire. The Army failed him. The V.A. failed him. His community that he fought for and became disabled as a consequence of his combat failed him.
Dixon was a mess. He was a mess because of what “we” asked him to do.
