"Drop the gun" and fires his weapon within less that a second... Wow

He was pulling the trigger while finishing the word gun.

Yup. He barely said it loud enough to hear, too.

Didn't identify himself as a police officer either. This was a murder. There was no way for the homeowner to even process what he might have heard by the time the cop killed him. This is no different than the murder of Tamir Rice. Roll up, jump out and fire immediately with no warning, no announcement, no attempt to understand the situation or talk down the person holding the gun. The cop should be convicted for this.

I get from the cops perspective he just saw a man fire two rounds into a house. He assumes that is a bad guy. That is a reasonable assumption to make. What is not reasonable is firing shots before you know for sure. The cop should have identified himself and ask the man to drop his weapon. Instead he just murdered the homeowner. Like most cops they're trained to murder you instead of talk you down. The cop is right in that regard. He did follow his training.

Roll up, hop out, all in one motion.

agreed, but better yet they all should just find a tall building and jump off the fucking roof (obviously with parachutes in gtav, for the love of god don't ban me for inciting violence). we see a video like this daily, sometimes multiple times a day, you think they're changing? fuck no.

Except for the neighbor said it was the owner outside his own house. So already it has been identified that the person outside the house with the weapon is the tenant. Yet, the police still shoot him with almost no warning.
