[Jeff Higgins]

Six seconds elapsed from the first time one of them yelled anything about a warrant or police until the first shot was fired. They were still outside, with a closed door between them and their victim, for five of those seconds. The victim was never given any chance whatsoever to "freeze", as the murdering officer was already firing before he even fully enunciated the word. The victim was not advancing by then - he had simply appeared at the end of the hallway with his golf club raised, as I'm sure most folks would do under similar circumstances. So, noise and commotion outside the house for five seconds, one second between front door kicked in and bewildered resident murdered by trigger happy coward, firing from the front door to the hallway, never having given his victim any chance whatsoever to figure out just what the hell was going on, much less comply with any orders. Murderous, cowardly scum hiding behind a badge and some thin fukking blue line. Right here in America. Who woulda thunk?
