On cops and shootings

National Review: End Qualified Immunity:

I'm going to start with a story that will break your heart. In the early morning hours of July 15, 2012, a young man named Andrew Scott was up late, home with his girlfriend. They were playing video games when they heard a loud pounding on the door. Alarmed, Scott grabbed a pistol and opened the door. He saw a man crouching outside in the darkness. Scott retreated, gun still at his side, pointing down to the ground.

Also, if you haven't been seeing how the Dallas PD has been playing the news on this Dallas cop who stumbled through the wrong door (and her stories have changed on this several times) and shot a man in his own home, it's worth looking at coverage. If your blood pressure can handle it.
