thank you for the context of this photo, i’m seeing it everywhere and had no idea what it was

The couple maintains that they felt threatened and protesters had broken into their property. Evidence for that assertion is shaky:

Daily Mail Article (UK)

Washington Post Article

In my own opinion, the “I was scared” argument:

• is used suspiciously often as ‘justification’ for whites to assault/kill blacks
• says a lot more about the “scared” person than it does about the “scary” person

Any way you spin this, I question if someone with that high a fear/aggression response is a good choice for a career in law, let alone a seat on an ethics panel.

There’s a video of the encounter and it shows them actively pointing their guns at people who were just calmly walking past. I really can’t see how someone could view that calm video and claim that these people felt like their lives were in so much danger that it justified bringing out multiple guns.
