Not in this case. The officers announced themselves. If your holding a gun when police is at the door you are asking for trouble!
This started as a domestic violence call to 911. At 10:18 p.m. the caller said there was a domestic dispute going on at a condo nearby and reported a lot of yelling and slamming doors. A second call was made at 10:44 p.m. to 911 where the individual said the exchange may have become physical.
The officers arrived on the scene approximately 8 minutes after the second 911 call, approaching the apartment near Desert Foothills Parkway and Chandler Boulevard.
They knocked on the door and announced themselves as Phoenix Police. Officers did not have their guns drawn as the door opened. 40-year-old Ryan Whitaker opened the door, exiting the apartment and moving toward one of the officers, armed with a gun. The other officer fired his weapon, hitting the man. Whitaker died at the scene.
Barely. I could hardly hear it even on video, doubt it was all that audible inside the apartment. Especially if it was for a NOISE COMPLAINT. And they stood out of sight of the peephole, and shined a light into the dudes face so he couldn’t even see who it was. If some strangers bang on my door in the middle of the night, and I can’t see who is out there, damn right I’m going out with a gun. And it’s legal to do.
individual said the exchange may have become physical.
And even during that call, they admitted they are only saying that to get the cops out there faster.
Before they even give him a chance to disarm, which he was in the process of doing, they shoot him 3 times in the back while he’s kneeling on the ground.
Why are you so hellbent on making excuses for this pussy of a cop, that executed someone for doing literally nothing wrong?
