It didn't seem like at any point the woman was in a state of mind to calmly invite them in. It's like they always make the choice that maximizes their chance of shooting someone.
I saw footage of a different encounter where a bunch of police were hanging out right at her backdoor even though she was clearly distressed and didn't even think about giving her space. Pretty sure they also shot her through a screen door while she was still in her house.
The woman reported a prowler and they had already checked the outside of the house. I wonder if they actually needed to go inside the house in the first place.
I wouldn't voluntarily allow cops into my house unless the situation required them to enter my house.
Agreed. I wouldn't let one of them shitbags in my house if they were offering me a sack full of cash and a harem of consenting porn stars unless it was absolutely required by law. If I get burgled I'm just going down to give my statement so I can get a case for my insurance company because I know they ain't gonna investigate it and by allowing them in the house my odds of dying increase greatly.
If I'm calling the police it's gonna be because someone needs to die.
