    What a shame, this is supposed to be America, a service man, in his own home, with his second ammendment right, non aggressive..killed without a second thought. That cop is to trigger happy, hopefully he never forgets, and is never allowed to police again. And tbh, i think he should be charged for murder, he took that young man life without a second thought

    The American soldier DID NOT violate the Constitution, Bill of Rights, or State law ..! The American was safe and secure in his own castle according to the United States Constitution until he was shot dead 6 times by the enemy! The gun might as well have been an apple or a peach according to Constitutional law. (The bad cop is going down for murder!) - USMC (Semper Fidelis) SGT E-5 (5811)

God see's how this so called police department tried to cover up up this young man's killing that was Not justified and we want justice. Now do the right thing and admit that you killed him because you were trigger happy and you thought you could kill this young black man and get away with it, Not So Because the all seeing eyes of God saw everything and you must give an account for what you have done !!!
