Re: TX: Austin man defending his home with rifle from burglars shot and killed by police

I was following this story on another forum and reviewing the video released by the police. In the video, specifically the Ring camera, the man is firing his gun into his home and is talking into the house as if someone is there. We don't know if anyone was actually there. When the police arrive, the officer fires the instant he says to drop the gun. The lack of any time to react is confirmed by the BWC audio. He shoots the moment he commands the man to drop the gun. This is a point the DA will use to bring charges against the cop. We never learn if there was anyone in the house that may have run out the back. My only issue with the police response is the lack of time for the man to comply with the order to drop the gun. The man had no chance.
