75 Pittsburgh officers on leave after hourslong shootout and standoff during eviction attempt

The suspect, William Hardison Sr., shot at deputies trying to serve an eviction notice, resulting in a standoff that lasted about 6½ hours.

    Details are still scant, but…

“I mean, he had a lot of ammunition in that house, and certainly … all of us were strapped, you know, with ammunition, and we were calling for additional ammunition,” Kraus said. “Like I said, we tried to give him every opportunity to come out.”

    …I’ll go way out on a limb and suggest that this could’ve been handled better.

    So? If you can’t pay your rent and face eviction you sell that shit, you don’t start shooting people doing their fucking job.

    Gun nuts are the first to speak about individual responsibility but when it’s their turn to face their responsibilities you can be sure of one thing, they ain’t facing them without a fight!

      This guy was a sovereign citizen, so the worst of the worst kind of crazy.

      Didn’t see that mentioned elsewhere in the thread, and it’s a big fucking detail to leave out.
