There are a lot of departments that do not respond to residential alarms anymore because the majority of them are false alarms.

A reasonable person would at least go the correct resident before searching garages, sheds, carports, etc. . . to make sure there was a crime committed.

A reasonable and prudent person DOES NOT GO LOOKING FOR A SUSPECT unless he knows there has been a crime committed.

According to NBC 5 in Dallas the Ft. Worth Police Department blamed "poor lighting" for the reason they shot Mr. Jerry Waller.

It is reported that the Ft. Worth PD said all the officers had were flashlights.

This is a second warning. This post is going down hill.

We Do Not Have Facts! The media twist a lot of things. This post is headed towards violating Forum Rules of bashing the police. Innocent until proven guilty

This is a very sad incident and we should be praying for everyone involved. Also, praying that the truth will be revealed.

I do not believe we can even come close to making a decision because not one of us knows the true facts. We are basing our statements on what the "media" says and we should know by now that the media is twisted. Over and over some have said and righteously so, "wait until the investigation is over."

As for as this statement my answer is REALLY?

Where is the blame for the person that set off the alarm and started this chain of events? Alarms are considered a burglary in progress and are treated as such. Had this person properly operated their alarm this would not have happened.
