> Blew them away as soon as they opened the door.

Source?

My point was that "as soon as they opened the door" and "seconds later" are not the same thing. Go watch the body cam or do some research. There were 7-10 seconds with commands being issued to Andrew and he did not comply. Absolutely not his fault, I'm sure it was a very confusing situation. I'm simply pointing out that if we are going to talk about it, let's face the facts and not make bullshit up.

Here's a description of the events, including bodycam footage. Interpret as you will. But he was shot within seconds of opening the door, that is not disputed.

EDIT: I will add that I am not endorsing the comment that he was "blown away" as soon as he opened the door, which has a very specific connotation.

From literally the second paragraph in the article:

> When the cops showed up in force, 28-year-old Andrew Finch opened his front door to see what the commotion was about; seconds later he was dead, shot by a police sniper across the street

I just watched the body cam footage. There is no effort on the part of the police to be judicious. I think the phrasing "blew them away as soon as they opened the door" is a fairly accurate description of what happened.
