Man killed by deputies

Probably best you do close this one it's starting to get silly.

Why is what I stated silly? Is it not the truth?

It's certainly one perspective. I'll leave it at that.

while i admit its not smart to point a gun at cops . its also not smart to knock on a door at 1am without clearly identifying your self , cop or not . both parties screwed up and it cost a life

One day i'll tell you about me opening the door @ 4am with gun in hand and a cop was standing there. No bashing just facts.

FWIW: So much can happen so fast, it comes down to reaction to a threat.
I am not supporting or condemning the LE, as our family is still dealing with "reaction to threat"

[RMAC757]

What's the protocol for local police in dealing with a situation like this? Is there a defined procedure for not identifying yourself? If so what's the criteria? Just curious.

[MOD: I specifically warned NOT to make general cop-bashing comments that weren't directly in reference to this reported situation. Next one earns a time-out]

I'll leave it at both parties made dumb mistakes and a man lost his life because of said mistakes.

Just as with any other situation, there are instigators and responders.

The instigators went to a mans door that had no reason to expect police, failed to announce themselves and took a mans life.

I may have to disagree with you here. It appears that one party made a mistake and the other used bad judgement. Thats a pretty big difference.

I guess being L.E. myself, I tend to be bias. We'll agree to disagree.
