11th Cir.: QI for officer who, having arrived at the wrong address after midnight, shot and killed the armed owner who came out to his driveway bc he thought he heard a prowler.
Infuriating.

*without warning
It's after midnight. You hear something weird outside. Maybe a prowler. You grab your lawfully-owned gun. Open the garage. Walk out. You're peering around twenty seconds. All is quie—BLAM
Officer shoots you without warning.
11th Cir.: seems reasonable to us

The "safest thing to do"?!? Safest for who?
I do get it. Policing is dangerous sometimes. But there is no reason to prevent this from going to a jury.
It should be up to a jury to decide whether this was a reasonable sequence of events.

These are excellent questions for a jury to consider.
