So why only fire one shot? That is consistent with many situations where people try to scare someone off by letting them know you have a gun and firing in their direction. I get this gives police the ability to fire back, but it appears they recklessly did so since they were charged, they paid her family 12 million and dropped the original  Indictment on the boyfriend. Obviously there is lots we don’t know 

It’s also funny that every gun owner here would fire their gun if they thought someone was breaking in their house but acts like the boyfriend is some bad guy

Wrong.

The home owner who has a gun first identifies his/her target before firing.

In general, the “warning shot” argument is just as weak (or weaker) than the “shoot him in the leg” argument. Shit like this is why it’s hard to take anti-gun people seriously or the idiots who pretend they are pro 2A, but are not really. You’re pulling the trigger for one reason and one reason only, which is to kill.  If you’re firing a “warning shot,” then you better be prepared for return fire. 

This is just basic shit. If you’re a gun owner and you don’t understand what guns are for, then please sell them to a responsible gun owner.

Note: this doesn’t take away from the fact that no knock warrants are bullshit, especially in civilian attire. I am placing this disclaimer, because I know some dumbasses here will misinterpret my post.

Well he isn’t in jail and that usually isn’t the case if you shoot a cop. The original indictment was dropped. We will see if they decide to charge him again with anything but clearly mistakes were made. Her boyfriend had never had a charge against him in his life I highly doubt he just up  and decides to shoot a policeman(knowingly) for his first crime.

I with you on this if someone came in my house unannounced I would shoot. 

If I a cop and someone fired a shot I would also fire back. 

I don’t think either side did anything most people wouldn’t do. I think the problem is no knock warrants. They sit up a situation where it can go wrong like this. Let’s change the rules so there are no more Breonna Taylor type incidents. Rand Paul tried and democrats voted it down.

Except Breonna Taylor was a knock warrant. The proposed law from Rand Paul would not have changed her outcome.

This changes nothing about what I said regarding the responsibility of pulling the trigger.

The warrant was a no knock warrant and there have been different witness accounts about if police did knock and announce tgem

Wait, the leader of the Proud Boys is black? I was told by Joe Biden (and Gblock) that they were white supremacists.

There was a Proud Boys event in New Albany yesterday. Lost in the usual "right wing = white supremacist" nonsense was any mention that it's highly likely that the group is more racially diverse than the city they visited.

He’s Cuban and yes they are racist 

My hometown yesterday

That’s quite the mental gymnastics. A group of males, of different races, are somehow white supremacists.

According to you nothing is racist so I can believe that you don’t get it. I don’t know that every chapter of this group is the same. I’m sure it depends on what city. I saw the he proud boys in Utah had a joint rally with blm. I also have observed very racist members of this group.

 I do find your assessment of this group much less critical than your assessment of blm. That’s weird

Do you have any proof or is this just another example of you being afraid of clothes?

One riots and causes destruction to innocent businesses and one doesn’t. It’s pretty simple bro.

Just paste the link and it should embed. It might not work for the short link you posted.

I'll just say that in an all-out brawl between Antifa and Proud Boys, I'm going with the "no, really were not gay" group.
