Reply to comment by NorthernLitUp in Landlord-tenant officer shoots woman in head during eviction, police say by phillycheeez

I am well aware of what the law says. I am equally aware that when it is attempted to be used by citizens to defend themselves from the law, it is not applicable even if that person is a legal owner of a firearm and NOT the subject to the raid in question. Heck the cops can have the WRONG HOUSE and still punish the people defending their home. There's been quite a few high profile cases about this.

Ok but this is not that unless other information comes out. There are forums here for political discussion but that's not what this is.

I mean, you're the one who made the implication that the person who was killed was holding a knife. The article in question very specifically does not say that and explicitly says that information is not clear.

If we wait for information to come out, we wait for information to come out, but "That murder by a private citizen of another private citizen is a-ok" isn't really that decent of a default to take
