    To everyone saying “good, way to kill the pigs for trying to make an innocent person homeless”

    Flowers said Halberstam’s mother had called for assistance seven times and in the past month asked to have her [sic] evicted.

    “Our deputies and a locksmith were on scene to carry out the court-ordered eviction and remove him from the home,” Flowers said. “While they were in the entryway - having just made entry - Mr. Halberstam retrieved a weapon and began indiscriminately firing at our deputies.”

    This guy had a previous criminal record, and had had the cops called on him multiple times before by his own mom. And then his own mom got him evicted. So, when the cops show up to evict him, he opens the door and just lights up everyone in sight, including an unarmed locksmith who was just there doing his job.

    These are not the actions of an innocent proletariat hero. They’re the actions of a meth head.
