The homeowner told police the two men said they were police and claimed they were at the home to serve a warrant.

[The homeowner] became suspicious, because, you know, they have a ring camera too, and the suspects were saying they had a warrant, but it was just two people and they’re masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that," said Lt. Khan with HPD.

At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire.

The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.

    And what you want to say (with an attorney present) is that you used necessary force to eliminate the threat.

        I overheard a cop at the hospital I work at kinda laughing about that: apparently it’s super common for people to plead the 5th, then proceed to run their mouth and incriminate themselves.

        So, I fucking love that video for how persistent it is about ‘but then the cop keeps asking you questions’ ‘but then they bring you to the station’ and regardless of how far into the process it gets, shut the fuck up.

        Funny presentation, but rock solid advice that people really do struggle with.
