Texas deputies shoot woman mistaken for intruder, bodycam video shows

So where's the NRA? Armed in her own home and shot by government tyrants exercising her right to protect herself with a firearm.

Who am I kidding...

I'm just going to leave a time-stamped link to the unedited video because there are a couple apologists in here that are absolutely ridiculous.

The officers identify themselves exactly once at 2:07, a car alarm starts going off at 2:18 and noticeably startles the officer wearing the cam, at 2:23 one of the officers says "someone's coming", and at 2:26 the syllable "Dro-" is interrupted by both officers completely unloading their magazines into the door/window.

It actually doesn't even look like the door was open and maybe the victim was trying to peek out the window?

So how exactly should she have handled this situation to have avoided someone trying to randomly murder her in her own home?

Holy fuck. I don't usually watch these videos because I am pretty squeamish, but I did for some reason, and you don't actually see the woman get shot.

What you do see is two cops immediately empty their weapons' entire clips the second they think they see a gun.

Cowards. The lot of them.

Jesus lmao. What the fuck is that shit?

DROP THE

BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG

GUN!

Yes, but look at that plant they were shooting at. How could they reasonably be sure there weren't any acorns growing on it?

Assuming those officers are following their training, we need to change officer training. That behavior is more military than police.

WTH they empty whole clips on her! WHILE asking her to drop the gun!

Second Amendment people are going to be FURIOUS when they see that Cops can legally Kill you for owning a Gun in your own Home!

i learned that if someone bangs on my front door and shouts "Sheriff's office!" then I need to exit my back door, run, and hide.

Arming bureaucrats and giving them legal immunity was maybe society's largest mistake.

So anyway...

When two female officers show up together nothing good is going to happen.

Someone breaks into a house, and then walks to the window holding a gun...I mean, ya'll make it sound SO easy being a cop and reacting to split second decisions that can mean life and death....

There are plenty of cases where the police overreact or use excessive force entirely unjustified. There are even more cases when the police get shot at without any rhythm or reason.

There's a reason they're trained to open fire in uncertain situations. A split second decision might be the difference between them dying on the job and going back home to their families.

So, don't create those uncertain situations, unless getting shot is what you're looking for. If the police are banging on your door, they suspect that something is going on. Best you can do, is help them figure out the situation. The cops, however, are not psychic and don't know you and your intentions. So, if you have a gun, keep it in your holster or off yourself entirely. Identify yourself. Talk to them. Don't just walk out on them, gun in hand...
