Honestly, have you watched the video? It really seems like you haven't. If you have, your fear/hatred of the police is leading you to greatly exaggerate what they were doing that night. They were knocking on the door, not beating, and they were announcing their presence, not screaming. And the ONLY way that he would know they were "armed to the teeth" was if he knew they were police officers, as he would've seen their uniforms when he saw their guns. Your efforts to defend his actions are becoming as inexplicable and indefensible as his actions themselves.

The Rangers have gone 8-2 in the last 10. Oakland is 3-16 on the year, and Cincinatti is 7-11. Would love a sweep of oakland and to take 2-3 from Cincy. Would put the rangers at 17-7 on the year. It seems doable, but who knows.

Nobody needs to ask him, you already told us previously. And I quote: "The homeowner was terrified, and protecting his family". It makes total sense. I mean, who isn't terrified when someone knocks on their door when it's dark out, and who's first instinct isn't to come out with their gun up ready to kill? #amirite? To be honest, based on the man's reaction, the cops very well may have saved the next person's life who accidentally knocked on crazy's door.

Last comment here, because you're clearly hellbent on blaming the police for this guy's moronic response to a knock on the door. Have you ever knocked on the wrong door? Have you ever had someone knock on your door and be at the wrong house? Even the police are allowed to accidentally knock on the wrong door. They knock on hundreds of thousands of doors in this country a day (maybe millions), some of which will undoubtedly be the wrong address, and don't have a single innocent person come out in a shooter's stance forcing the police to defend themself.

And how many times in the course of a day do police knock on doors down the streets from crimes looking for witnesses? Watch an episode of the First 48. Dude gets popped at the gas station on the corner, or in the apartment complex, and the police mobilize and start knocking on doors. They might knock on 50-100 doors, and it might be 2AM. Surprisingly enough, none of them ever get shot.

If a person is texting and driving and rearends someone, and that person gets out of a car and shoots them dead, it's clearly the texter's fault, right? Had they not made a silly mistake the guy would've never gotten out and shot them.

I assure you TVC has forgotten more about the penal code than most lawyers will ever learn.

1-hit the royals tonight, but degrom left after 4 with a sore wrist. Hoping it’s nothing serious

Off to a nice start. Don’t want to mess up the Astros thread with rangers talk.

This is the exact same scenario as the other shooting except the homeowner got shots off. Someone knocked on the door at the wrong house and was shot for doing so. In the police shooting the homeowner was acting the same way, but when they saw the gun the police responded with force.

very much enjoyed this series. It's nice to have some hope again as a rangers fan.

So those of you in favor of charging the cops, y'all all agree that this shooting was justified, right? Homeowner shot teenager who went to the wrong house in Kansas City, lawyers say (msn.com)

Some people are so blinded by their hatred of police that it robs them of their common sense.

Someone knocked on his door, and instead of just answering it (or not), according to you he was "terrified, and protecting his family." And MY post sounds like "lawyer talk?" But really, there's nothing more terrifying than someone knocking on your door at 11:30. Any reasonable person would throw the door open and jump out with a gun, aiming at whoever is out there with no clue as to who it is.

Bad situation, but I don’t see how the officers can be charged here. Wrong house and they shoot a guy with his hands up? Yeah, of course. Break down the wrong door and get shot at by someone who thinks they’re breaking in? Sure. But the victim here did not act in a sane, reasonable way, and it led to his being tragically but justifiably shot IMO. being at the wrong door shouldn’t mean an officer has to get shot when someone comes out pointing a gun in their face. I live off the main road a ways, and when someone knocks at night I answer with a gun if I don’t know who it is. That said, I don’t bust out the front door and jump into a shooting stance pointing it at whoever is there without knowing who it is. It could be the police, it could be someone at the wrong house, or it could be a 12-year-old looking for their dog. All of those have happened out here, but I’ve yet to have a robber knock on my front door. When the police knocked at night I looked out the window and saw the patrol unit and put the pistol in a drawer before I answered the door. All this guy had to do was crack the door and look outside, or just looked through the window right next to the door. The porch light was on, and these guys weren’t hiding around the corner.

Watched it tonight. Very impressive performance in a game where they were supposed to be the underdogs

I predicted them beating stephenville 3 or 4 to 0. Wasn’t expecting them to drop 8 on them

Brutal way to lose. Soft lofted free kick from probably 40 yds out, right to the keeper’s hands. He mishandled it, it popped off the crossbar, and a forward came running in and knocked the goalie, and defender, and the ball across the line. Was a clear foul IMO, but the goalie had no business dropping the ball to begin with

They played so well! Probably a fair result, but lumberton also did enough to get to the shootout.

That was a backbreaker

Lumberton ties it up!

2-1 Palestine after the first OT.

Lumberton down 1-0 with 15 to go

Lumberton 0 Palestine 0 at the half. Seems to be reasonably even so far, but I tuned in midway. A lumberton defender did clear a Palestine header off the line at the end of the half or it would be 1-0

Absolutely! Nothing to hang their heads about. It’s still an amazing achievement to make it back to back years.
