I can personally attest to this post. My friends ex-husband was shot and killed by the local police a few years ago. He had a party at his house, he became intoxicated and started a fight with a guest.
The guest beat him up, so he went to the bed room and got his pistol. The guest left and called the police.
The police arrived and the ex-husband came from the rear of the house brandishing the pistol.
This was at night, the police gave warning and then fired and killed him.
