They're following an armored car down the street, not knowing what is gonna come at them next, and some antifa lookalikes refuses to go inside.
So they responded with non lethal force.
No harm no foul from where I'm sitting.
Perhaps. But a reasonable person could believe they were sitting on their front porch and got shot at. And returned fire. Now wouldn't that just mess things up.
A " reasonable " person would understand the timing and context of what's going on. If there is an all out riot 4 blocks away, and the cops are making their way to the disturbance to restore order, and tell you to " GO INSIDE" , you go inside! You don't get to question every command in the heat of the moment. Birdy got it exactly correct.
This isn't at the park during a picnic...this is a time where COPs had to call in for a dustoff, for goodness sake...
