Naw, just tell the party favor embedded in the door, or beneath the slab, it's time to self abort.
Excellent advice.
I once came outside because the officer asked, and I was threatened with a taser for doing exactly what I was asked. Thankfully, I was not tasered. Doubly thankfully, I was not carrying my gun on me at the moment. I hate to think what might have happened had I been armed. The deputy was scared to death of me.
Since then, on the rare occasion that an officer has come to my door, I talk to them through the cracked open window not to far from the door. I keep my door locked, and I do not open it. Last time, it was a wrong address, but I feel much better having the door closed and locked. I am not going to lie - I still get an adrenaline rush every time I see an officer, and it was doubly so when a patrol car appeared in my driveway on a wrong address.
The stress of being threatened with a weapon by a scared deputy stays with you for a while.
Seeing this video - it all could have been avoided had he just kept the door closed and locked.
I guess most folks are not aware that this is an option when a yelling deputy is banging on your door.
Did YOU see any aggression?
Thank God for body cameras.

"it's either him or me at this point"
I submit that this was a creation of the deputy's mind. This sounds like one of those after-the-fact things you hear some nobody say in the interrogation room after an obviously unjustifiable shooting. The difference is that this is a Sheriff's deputy, so he gets different treatment after blowing away an innocent man who made the mistake of opening his door with a pistol held down beside his leg.
If his stereo had been loud, and his neighbor banged on the door, and shot Airman Fortson six times immediately, what would the police think about his "him or me" claim?

"Hearing sounds of a disturbance, he (the deputy) reacted in self defense after he encountered a 23-year-old man armed with a gun after the deputy identified himself as law enforcement"
Never, ever forget what the Sheriff's Office said at the outset of this case.
Did you hear "sounds of a disturbance? How could there have been? He was alone.
"he reacted in self defense"
They absolutely would have covered this up if not for the body camera recording what really happened. Both of those claims were bald faced lies.

The circle is almost complete, back to the time of the Red Coats and why the 4th amendmant of the Constitution was put in place.
