The article states that the guy pointed a gun at the officers.
Even without them being officers, I am pretty sure pointing a gun at someone gives them the right to defend themselves. If not legal, at least moral.
Now what caused the events to take place could change the whole scenario either way. For all we know, the police confronted the brother for ritually sacrificing kittens to a Republican god or something, or the police were smuggling children and the brother was a witness.
Funny how people would argue on one side that pointing a gun at someone is perfectly legit self defense, but if it’s a cop that the individual says didn’t state they were a cop, suddenly it’s cool to arrest them.
Really trying hard to play both sides of coin to be right, aren’t ya.
The gymnastics are incredible. If pointing a gun isn’t self defense then there would be a lot of gun/parts manufacturers out of business as an enormous amount of arsenals would suddenly vanish when people were no longer able to justify owning most of their guns.

Pointing a gun at someone is not self defense. It’s intent to kill.
And I’m not playing both sides, I’m just not jumping to conclusions off a vague article

Eh, it always ends up with cliche copy/paste comments about whatabout/goalposts/mental gymnastics.
I guess y’all know how it all went down and can condemn the guilty party without any doubt.
If everywhere you go it smells like shit, check the bottom of your own shoe first.
