If someone is in a home and answers the door while holding a gun it should be illegal for a cop to shoot them unless they aim the gun at the cop. The protocol should be that they should also draw their weapon and aim at the person to be in position to neutralize them IF AND ONLY IF they raise their gun.
2A must be strengthened
Big 2nd amendment supporter but respectfully disagree here. I would easily argue over 50% of the time citizen with gun drawn when officer approaching is in the wrong. Her's the thing; why have gun drawn? You know when you draw that weapon all bets are off.
To say they should be able to react in that split second is madness...cops have a heard enough job as is. So many on here trash them, screw it I stand for them, greater than 50% are good. Always a couple bad apples but the majority still good. My point is, it is impossible to have us play Monday morning quarterback in these situations. Play stupid games win dumb prizes. Sure some will down vote me but without the law were would we be...sorry. I will always support the law as opposed to lawlessness. Quite frankly sick of all the vitreal towards cops, they have a hard job, lets stop sH*&ting on them constantly.
I guess I can see your point here but damn it. What if they think it's an intruder dressed as a cop?
You present a valid point and that does happen...don't have an answer for you outside of have to bank on likelihood they are who they say they are and are not impostors. But yes happens all the time in robberies now.
