Notice that the Brattleboro Defamer prints a title that implies that the Law Enforcement Officer was actually the AGRESSOR?!
Why didn't the title go something like "Law Enforcement Officer Shoots Tresspasser"?
BECAUSE OF THE AGENDA OF THE ANTI-GUN REFORMER.
From WCAX: "A Brattleboro man shot by a Vermont trooper Friday was released from the hospital this weekend. Robert Smallidge of Brattleboro allegedly refused to leave his ex-wife's house in Fayston when told to do so by Trooper Chris Brown. Brown is now on paid administrative leave.
Trooper Brown told police he saw Smallidge in the doorway and believed he had a gun. The trooper said he feared for his life and safety and Brown fired multiple rounds while retreating to his cruiser.
Robert Smallidge was shot in the upper thigh. Trooper Brown then used a Taser before taking him into custody.
Apparently, an AirSoft toy gun was found inside the house, and Washington County State's Attorney Scott Williams says "it's black and looks realistic."
NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it.
