That is why I would never call the cops immediately if someone breaks into my house when I am there and armed. I would settle the situation on my own... then call the cops. Probably, then, go to the front yard unarmed and go 'spread eagle' on the lawn.

Funny... how you always get the quick posts in these threads about this reckless type of shooting as not being the cops fault. It's like 'Ho Hum' a guy lost his life because 'what's a girl to do' type excuse. Sad.

Cops gonna cop.

It should be standard procedure that when a cop enters a house, the cop car’s roof lights go on, and stay on. Plus maybe a blast or two from the car’s siren. Let everyone in that house know the cops are coming in.

This seems like a very sensible thing to do. I wonder why it isn’t done as a matter of routine, especially after dark.
