Like I said, girlfriend heard it was police WAY before he started shooting...
Any random home invader can yell “Police”.
Doesn’t mean we need to believe them.
anybody can yell anything... defense inside one’s home is one’s right, no matter who is breaking down the door and yelling whatever they wish to get the upper hand.
it is a shame that a police officer was killed, but they brought it on themselves. surround the house and identify yourself then. wait for him to come out.
Sure, better she back up the story. Now ask yourself why would anybody - short of being insane or fleeing a murder rap - shoot at cops coming through the door.
I'm partially deaf. When I'm in bed I don't wear my hearing aids. What the girlfriend says is irrelevant, as there is no way for her to know what the boyfriend heard or didn't hear.
I agree with a previous poster...."no knock" raids should either be eliminated or drastically curtailed.
