Man defends himself as police shoot at him

He most likely gave up them rights when he stepped off his stoop to return fire. He must've thought he was fighting against street hoods or was re-enacting a scene from 4 Brothers to do that. All common sense and logic hauled ass from that scene :smh:
So getting shot at 3 times wasn’t a reason to protect him self from trespassing folks
 
That man didn’t grab his gun to shoot until he was shot

He was shot after stepping away from his home aggressively with a firearm in his possession. Therefore giving the cops the excuse (real or unreal) that they were in fear for their lives (qualified immunity).

I don't know the laws for Texas when it comes to where the Castle doctrine ends but if you're gonna use the trespassing excuse then in many states it's only valid from inside your home. Once you leave your home it no longer applies. Your front yard doesn't count as being your home either. The minute he started charging forward and drew for his gun, he looks like an aggressor as he's moving towards his target instead of trying to retreat so it'll be difficult to say and prove he was trying to defend himself. This is how it would be interpreted in a court room.

Exactly. This is how the law will see it and interpreted in a courtroom. While we all understand the rationale, emotions from heat in the moment don't hold the same weight once you're in front of a judge n jury

and that is how people need to start viewing things. The court system doesn't give a fuck about your emotional view. If a grand jury is called...your emotional point of view will be nonexistent. When you are in front of a jury of your "peers". They're not going to give a fuck about your emotional point of view. He shot at cops?
Guilty....

Yep. That was my biggest takeaway from my conceal carry class. There were a whole bunch of rebuttals and "but what about" or "what if" scenarios being given and the answer to each one was that the moment you pursue after the assailant, you're now the aggressor and subject to punishment by law. That's why when so many people were claiming the girl in Ohio was just trying to defend herself from the other girls she was fighting before she got shot by the cop, I had to pump the brakes on them cuz they need to know that fine line between self defense and becoming the aggressor got crossed in a major way.

dude he's lucky they didn't shoot him when they first saw the gun..we've seen that a hundreds times. not saying it's right just stating what happens too often

The cops saw the gun and told him to put it down several times. then he advanced toward the cops. He was already yelling and being aggressive.

I'm not sure what y'all were expecting to happen here.

fuck a cop when they wrong... i don't see how they are wrong here.
 
His wife had a towel on but she should have used her other hand to pull him inside. That was a very fucked up video. When they started shooting at him they practically forced him to defend himself on his own property. Hate to see stuff like this.
 
Dike ass female officer escalated that whole thing... screeching orders like a fucking banshee.
Exactly!

.....but it all comes down to the threat. The issue being the cops only have a split second to make a decision, ESPECIALLY if they know you have a gun.

The shooting will be justified. The question is, will the homeowner get any time. I think he will get probation due to being drunk and he was shot multiple times. I think the judge will say that the homeowner suffered enough and paid for his crime in bullets. That, or he will get a very light sentence.

Bottom line is, the bitch needs to be fired!!!! Dude was handling the situation and possibly could have gotten the homeowner to drop his gun until her shrieking loud annoying bitch voice came into the picture.
 
Look at this bullshit here:

Two injured following police-involved shooting in Corinth Tuesday

An armed man is in the hospital and two Corinth Police Department officers were placed on administrative duty following a shooting late Tuesday. The Texas Rangers are investigating the department's use of force following the shooting Tuesday in which police returned fire on an armed man.

Two civilians were injured and two Corinth Police Department officers were placed on administrative duty following a shooting late Tuesday, a department spokesperson said.


Corinth police spokesperson Capt. Jimmie Gregg said the Texas Rangers are investigating the department's use of force following a shooting Tuesday. Police returned fire on an armed man in the 2600 block of Nash Drive.


According to a news release, Corinth police were dispatched to a call about a reckless driver following a 911 call at 8:20 p.m. on the Interstate 35E service road near Swisher Road. The vehicle was described as a Ford F-150 pickup truck, which police located in the 2600 block of Nash Drive about two miles away from the service road.


The release says police approached a man at a home in the neighborhood who was “immediately confrontational.” Gregg confirmed he was the “uncooperative, armed” individual from the 911 call about a motorist potentially driving while intoxicated.


Police attempted to calm the man and de-escalate the situation when they noticed a holster on the man’s waist, according to the release. The armed man didn’t comply and police used “a less-lethal device” to stop him, which was unsuccessful.


Gregg said he couldn’t say what device was used because the Texas Rangers are conducting their own investigation into the officers’ use of force. The Texas Rangers are routinely called to investigate the use of force incidents from law enforcement agencies.


When asked the same question, a Texas Rangers spokesperson said no additional information will be released pending the investigation.


The man fired a handgun at officers, who then returned fire, the release says. The man was shot and taken into custody.


According to the release, police provided the man with medical attention until paramedics arrived. He and a woman at the residence who was also injured were taken to Medical City Denton and were in stable condition as of Wednesday. None of the responding officers were injured.


Gregg referred questions about how many times the man was shot, the woman’s involvement, injuries and how she obtained the injuries to the Texas Rangers, who declined to answer and cited the ongoing investigation.


Gregg said upon the man’s release, he will be arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault on a public servant.

The account is a fucking lie. The police fired first, and the man then returned
fire in self defense. This police report must have been made before the police
knew that he had a surveillance system. I was in Corinth just the other day.
Damn.
 
He stood his ground like a man, and had the fucking pigs on the
run. Wonder what would have happened had he had a bullet proof
vest on.
 
I still wanna know why this kat
thought he was gonna win that
exchange? People are losing
it mentally more and more
as years goes on. :hmm:

People who have been killed who complied with the police. There are also questions
about whether they had the right to invade his property

Yeah but what I'm saying is, he kept saying I'm not going to comply to your orders and "you don't want none of me". That attitude will never win in a situation like that. It seems that he deliberately escalated that situation and he should have known he was NEVER going to win by the methods he chose.
 
You mean like all the incidents where white people have knives/guns out and don’t get shot at?

Yet a Blackman has no weapons in his hands and gets shot at 3 times…maybe his wife towel was the real threat that’s why she almost got hit
I hear you fam, but he was talking to reckless for me to not be on alert. I probably would have lit him up also

His problem is that he threatened gun play. Unless you stupid ass fuck, many would be on alert. Once he started walking towards them after talking gun play. It was fair game at that point.

It is hard to tell someone to keep calm when they have been repeatedly threatened with gun play
 
He most likely gave up them rights when he stepped off his stoop to return fire. He must've thought he was fighting against street hoods or was re-enacting a scene from 4 Brothers to do that. All common sense and logic hauled ass from that scene :smh:
She shot at him 3 times.. he didn’t want him or his wife to die that day so he try to shoot it out with them once he knew the kkkop wanted him dead from jump


Like I said if a cop is choking you and they plan on killing you do you just sit there and let them or do you go in survival mode and fight back.. ole boy chose to live so he fought back
 
I hear you fam, but he was talking to reckless for me to not be on alert. I probably would have lit him up also
You switch your commentary 3 diff times..in the end you revealed that you would be a shitty cop cause trying to kill somebody cause they are arguing is murder… you kill a bro for arguing but won’t kill a cac for whatever reason

Remember that thing called taser or mase? Yeah they could easily go for those..if he was white they would have.. but that kkk member cac wanted to kill a black person that day

Damn.
According to the article less than lethal force was supposedly used first. Which I guess could be a tazer, bean bag, etc...
So they admit to use force first.

According to the article they supposedly started with less than lethal force but lets be real. If a person has a gun are you going to go for a taser or mase?
 
You switch your commentary 3 diff times..in the end you revealed that you would be a shitty cop cause trying to kill somebody cause they are arguing is murder… you kill a bro for arguing but won’t kill a cac for whatever reason
Naw man, I am from Dade county. Not sure how it is elsewhere. But if you threatened gun play, I am going to take you for your word and act accordingly.

If it means I pull the trigger early. It is what it is. I will try and do you before you do me
 


We need to get on code

According to article he shot first and than they fired..we obviously see that article is completely wrong..so I’m not taking anymore info from that article and going by the vid..it’s obvious the article is trying to switch up the realization what happened

I'm not saying he was wrong to try to defend himself. Just saying what the courts will probably see and say when he's in front of a judge n jury. The moment he went forward off his stoop, he became an aggressor regardless of what the reason was and that's where they'll go after him legally. It's a very fine line that's very easy to cross and definitely always in our favor regardless of how much we see it as the right reaction to have.
