He, or someone (maybe one of his friends looking at the sights?) in the room did point the air rifle out the window. That has been pretty well established.
Yeah, I see that I was mistaken about that. I hadn’t read about him since it happened, and had not heard that he was pointing the pellet gun out of his window. Still, it was not an actual rifle. People need to relax. It was a pellet gun. That should not have been a death sentence. That an unarmed sobbing man on his knees was a threat to five officers with AR-15s trained on him? Cop culture needs to change.
Hell, just this morning I saw a video from a friend of a similar situation in a hotel. Two cops in a hallway command a lady to come out of the room. They immediately shot her, and as she was bleeding out, made her crawl to them. She was unarmed and apparently not who they were looking for. I suppose as long as the cops went home safely, it was a job well done.
