This whole story is absolutely bizarre. The mother of the intruder came, too?

Very bizarre chain of events.

Police are held to a ‘higher standard’? Really?

Tell me what happened to the cop in Wichita who reflexively shot an unarmed man at a ‘Swatting’ call earlier this year?

Nothing. That’s what happened to the bastard.

A 100% innocent man gets killed from long range (meaning the usual BS of ‘I was in fear for my life’ did not apply) and nothing happens to the killer who pulled the trigger.

Where’s the higher standard here? Where’s the justice for the dead man?

More and more I’m of a mind that our communities would be safer with armed citizens and far smaller police departments.

No more road pirates stopping people on the road to search them and steal their cash and/or vehicles. No more roid-raging, shaved-head angry thugs terrorizing people for imaginary and make-believe ‘crimes’ and no more jackbooted thugs dispensing street justice as if they were Judge Dredd.

Best of all, there’d be no more cops to protect the criminals from decent people.

PS: I just wanted to add about the Black family, it said in one of the news’ reports that Mrs. Black made some kind of blankets to give to the Aurora Police to help out for victim’s families. Not sure of all the details, but it was said in the video of the story news report that I posted. Now the poor woman is a victim.

Per the Denver Channel, the man Black killed has been identified as 26-year-old Dajon Harper, who twice had charges of first-degree murder dropped or reduced.

I propose a statue for Mr. Black. He's a hero. He did what our justice system failed to do. He was trying to protect his family, but obviously he did a service for the community. And the same justice system that won't protect us from criminals, turned around and executed him.

Yep, he is a hero.

Maybe a couple of statutes too. Like one that requires immediate release of all police bodycam videos when there’s an “officer-involved shooting.”

“”That is an absolute nightmare scenario.””

An absolute nightmare of an article to make sense of. A son, a stepdad, a father, a grandfather, a woman, a grandson - who on earth is who? What were a stepdad and a dad doing in the same house? I can’t make sense of any of it.

He will probably be quietly fired and will move to another city, get hired there, and participate in another “officer involved shooting.” This guy likes to shoot.

OK, I see the interchange of names - the man awoken and that of the stepdad who heard the commotion...still don’t know the age of the son...or what the stepdad was doing on the ground handcuffed at one point and shot dead the next. How many people were living in that house? Stepdad/mother/son/4 grandchildren - where is the mother of the son who was captive of the intruder in the bathroom?

Oh - heck, who cares?? I’m just going to move on to the next article that won’t make any more sense than this one.

Correct. They are held to a higher standard.

Boy, that's some bullshit right there.

"The police may not be your enemy.....but they certainly are not your friend or protector."

That's why they are called "law enforcement," not "protectors of law-abiding citizens."
