Let's also assume you step onto the doormat so that your wife can shut and dead bolt the door behind you. This way your family will stay safe, even if you die

This annoying right-wing level of feminism is so annoying. "Men should just throw their lives away for wamen" is so fucking cringe. I'm not against protecting women but you really think men should just swing their doors open wide to step out whenever they are in danger for the off chance their women might be able to lock the door behind them? Seriously give your head a shake.

Something tells me these jumpy cops would have freaked out even faster if a weapon was visible immediately.

It pretty much was visible immediately. Did you watch the video? There's maybe a second or two for them to process the gun once the door opened and then he was dead.

You are correct that it was viewable immediately. But it wasn't the first thing a normal person would see because he was not brandishing it at eye level. The cops only got the 1 time to view what was happening before the one hiding in the shadows decided to shoot the guy in the back. I had to review the slow motion before seeing the weapon despite it being held at the side.
