I'm just going to leave a time-stamped link to the unedited video because there are a couple apologists in here that are absolutely ridiculous.
The officers identify themselves exactly once at 2:07, a car alarm starts going off at 2:18 and noticeably startles the officer wearing the cam, at 2:23 one of the officers says "someone's coming", and at 2:26 the syllable "Dro-" is interrupted by both officers completely unloading their magazines into the door/window.
It actually doesn't even look like the door was open and maybe the victim was trying to peek out the window?
So how exactly should she have handled this situation to have avoided someone trying to randomly murder her in her own home?
Okay, fair enough. To counter, officers typically have to make split second decisions that can mean life and death. They don't want to die, just like you and me. They go to the home, it's clear someone broke in. They announce themselves, 15 minutes later, someone comes walking to the door holding a gun. Now, how SHOULD have the cops handled the situation? Again, it's SO easy to say "well, they should have done this..or that..." when it's not you constantly worried about whether or not you're going to die every time you put on your work uniform.
Pizza delivery driver is statistically a more dangerous job then police, stop spreading copaganda/ apologia
