This is about the most macabre situation I have read in a long time, a pure catch-22 for the individual involved ending in his death. It illustrates the tremendous and absolute discretionary power we have invested in LEOs at all levels to 'do their job'. Even to the point of rationalizing a bizarre justification enabling one to get away with killing an innocent person. Scary. Just what does a person do in such a situation??

Apparently we're supposed to die in place, and our families are supposed to accept it. Orwellian, nicht wahr?

Karma would be someone "swatting" the homes of the 11th Circuit ass clowns who rendered such a boneheaded and dangerous decision and see how they feel about getting shot in their own doorways.

After the Army I went into law enforcement. I became a Basic Law Enforcement Training instructor and a weapons instructor. From the information given, those officers should be fired and charged. No identification because they didn't want him to escape? It's an apartment. Put someone out back like everyone else does. No warrant, no probable cause? Just finding a motorcycle outside an apartment complex does not justify raiding an apartment. You likely will get the wrong apartment, just like they did. Who the heck is the District Attorney in that town? Was a Grand Jury convened? This is an insult to professional law enforcement. The court equates this to an investigative stop and talk? Are you kidding me? Multiple officers with guns drawn outside pound on the door with no announcement at 3 in the morning. I am coming to the door with my gun too. No justification to open fire with no commands or effort to communicate or de-escalate. I have had guns and knives poised for use on me and we made the arrests without killing someone. Please appeal this to the Supreme Court.
