Dr. Tabor is clear about many of the issues to gun owners surrounding the handling of this case.
His concern about the (mis)handling of this case, and the implications for any that would defend their home are clear.
1. Where did the .223 casing found in the search of the home after the shooting come from? - Not the homeowner. Police only foundthe home defenders.380 handgun but no .223 rifle. Chesapeake PD do have AR-15s. Did Chesapeake PD fire at or into the home? Did Chesapeake PD fire first?
2. Was the warrant a night time no-knock warrant, or was the night time home assault simply a method of police intimidation?
3. Why charge the defendant with 1st Degree murder, when the circumstances surrounding this case clearly do not call for 1st degree murder charges?
We do not know everything about this case, but what we do know does not giveme confidence that my city police department is conducting itself in a proper manner. One can understand the police dept. desire to quickly put away one who has killed a police officer, but the Chesapeake PD should not ride roughshod over our justice system. If the CPDwas incapable of properly handling this case, they should have stepped aside and asked the state police to handle the investigation. The Chesapeake Commonwealth's Attorney already has stepped aside.
I am usually on the side of police, as is the owner of Tidewater Liberty, Dr. Tabor. This is not police bashing, this is crying foul when the stench is bad.
Remember,if the shooter is railroaded, we all lose some of our ability to defend our homes.
