Chief Metz says his officers never received a description of the intruder.

I don't really know what you whiners are thinking, in the first place. It's like you think you should be getting the 6 Million Dollar Man, on what your penurious rears are willing to pay a policeman, pay somebody putting their life on the line, so you can live to whine, another day, from your Lazy Boy? Maybe they should just wait an hour or so to respond to those 911 calls, avoid all the complications, wait until the bodies settle, until no ingrate is left that can hold a gun, or the malefactor has moved on to the home of a whiner, new meat, that doesn't like the police any more than he does. You can maybe sing Kumbaya with Ted Bundy, before he wrings your neck like a chicken, shows you what some lack of immunity is all about.

I hope you realize you have made a strawman here.
Qualified immunity is not the issue.

First, you say qualified immunity is the issue, and now qualified immunity is not the issue, even talking scarecrows or the Wizard of Oz, now. I would rather be the Tin Man, if we're going to get all distorted, non-sequitur and go down the rabbit hole, as usual.

Well they are indeed scum when they kill veteran OAPs simply protecting their family, or do you disagree?

I want to see the evidence / video police couldnt release before forming my opinion.
If a person has never been in this type of situation then they should think twice and get all the facts before suggesting the police did something wrong.
I don't know if being hired to do a job you aren't qualified for is the fault of an employee.

You mean like Tommy Jefferson, boinking one of his slaves? I'd prefer to simply say people have strayed, and leave it at that.
Folks, all that aside, I don't mean to get all practical on you or anything, but this could save your bedeviled mind some day: you see a policeman, just put the damned gun down, like you've seen 10,000 times on the tube.

Lol, a red herring to the strawman....
Guess what rambo, an elderly vet who has had to deal with his demons shoots a man strangling his grandson he may be in shock.
I know you would have handled it differently being so practical, unfortunately this senior citizen was probably in shock.
