Officers showed up at the home and found a man struggling with a woman over a knife. An officer opened fire and struck the man, killing him at the scene. Only later did they discover the man who was killed lived at the home and was struggling to fend off the woman who had broken into his home.
Police say Brandon Durham, 43, had called 911 and reported multiple people outside his home shooting, then told the 911 operator that someone had entered his home through the front and back doors and he was locking himself in the bathroom.
He also told the 911 operator that he was home with his 15-year-old daughter, according to police. Officers kicked open the door after arriving on scene and hearing someone screaming as well as damage to vehicles parked outside the property, police said.
Imagine you’re on a mission to kill your ex, and you just harass them until they call the cops and you know the cops will kill them for you.
Why do people even call the police anymore?
Because they are the victims of crime
Bro, we had a petty theft at work.
While identifying culprits, my coworker, with a straight face, said to me, “The security guard is pretty much a cop, so there’s no way he could have done it” implying cops are the highest form of trust.
I don’t know why they thought that.
IMO the association of police with safety is not wrong. A system that does not supervise and punish police members for wrong actions is the problem. Aka don’t let police investigate police mistakes.
Because insurance requires you to get your payout?
Insurance just need you that you open a police report. Report online or in person in the police station and make the claim with that.
Except insurance companies will do anything to avoid a payout and not having the police actually come to your home could be flagged.

See, being a man isn’t always advantageous.
Edit: some of y’all are neurotic. You have an almost pathological need to create subtext where none exists. Allow me to alleviate your concerns so you can stop clutching your pearls: no, I’m not some Andrew Tate following misogynist.
Jesus.

But that’s literally what you just did…?
No, I don’t think I did. I think I’m just better at correctly identifying subtext that actually exists.
LOL but it has it’s perks.
Inside the home, police say, officers found Durham and the suspect, identified as Alejandra Boudreaux, struggling over a knife and an officer-involved shooting occurred.
Sounds like the cop just happened to be there. And a gun unrelated to the officer aimed itself at the home’s resident. And the gun fired all by itself. Wow I hate when they use this kind of language, just say what’s written in the headline!
