I'm not taking sides. Just because the wife SAID he was working a 12hr shift doesn't mean that's what he was actually doing. Her denying he said "I've got something for you" doesn't surprise me because that was her husband, and father to her kids. Of course she's not going to agree that he gave the cops any reason to fire upon him. I think it's stupid that everyone gets all up in rage about crap they have no REAL clue to. Could the cops have been in the wrong? Sure! Could the Marine have been in the wrong? Sure! And I agree with etlsport that because he was a Marine should have no impact. I have known some real douche-bag military people that honestly don't deserve my respect in any way. Also this "he was still alive" stuff, do you really think the neighbor got close enough to the inside of the house to see if he was still alive? Or have the medical background to really know?
