Even if it's ruled self-defense and all charges dropped, I don't think we should consider him a hero. He's a stupid kid who was trying to play GI Joe and valued property over his own life and the lives of others. This flavor of gungho firearms ownership is not something we should be encouraging.

Tell that to the cops - or better to their superiors who don't properly train them in deescalation tactics nation wide but instead buy them virtual tanks to wage a stupid drug/terrorist/covid war.

Bring back the friendly neighbourhood police man.

Could be he was. I suppose we'll have to see what comes out of the investigation.
