That's not what I said. The responsibility for the entire ordeal falls squarely, and solely, on the police. It was not "on both sides". It is not an accident, nor in any way inappropriate, for a man to defend his woman from illegal armed intruders. So the boyfriend made no mistakes at all, and committed no crimes.

You seem to be attempting to put forth a narrative that the boyfriend somehow made a mistake. Probably in some misguided attempt to support the police in this incident. But you're not helping the cause of LEO's right now. You're actually doing enormous harm to it. When you make mistakes you admit it, you hold people accountable, and then you fix the issues that lead to the mistake. That inspires confidence. The response of you and the Louisville PD and court system inspires not only lack of trust and lack of confidence, but also widespread animosity.
