The dude was in HIS OWN HOUSE, sleeping! So the police come in (an alarm was accidentally triggered by someone else), he comes down the stairs with HIS LEGALLY REGISTERED GUN coz it's night and these are folks breaking into his home, he thinks...they handcuff him and have him down on the floor. This is so wrong. Just flat out so wrong.
I agree with you fully but he was black and in a home with a gun at night in North Carolina. The racist cops most likely would be OK with it from that standpoint and would not even check to see if someone else was there to trigger and alarm. The man is fortunate not to have been killed by them. No, it is not right, but maybe it was the best North Carolina could do at the time.
Cops everywhere need much more training.
