I've feared for my life in the past and then policed up casings later.
But, you’re a highly trained, professional soldier and the Army loves their brass details and police calls.
I don’t think most responsible gun owners would police up their brass after a self defense shooting because that would be evidence that police can use to recreate the scene to corroborate a justifiable self defense shooting.
At least in my mind, Mixon’s sister policing up the brass afterwords indicates an active attempt to destroy evidence to control the narrative.
But, I’m not a police officer. I’m just a guy who has been forced to watch too many true crime shows with his wife.
But, I also view these shooting through the lens of a former infantryman who likes to think I understand ROE. And someone who likes to believe I’m a responsible gun owner that understands when I can/can’t use deadly force. And if I was on the boyfriend’s jury, he’d be ****** unless further evidence changed my opinion. (Which by the way, is the main reason I hate those true crime shows. By the time the show is over, I still don’t know the damn truth. Too much doubt. Not sure if it is the editing to create drama for an TV show or just the nature of the crimes. And I hope I never have to be on a jury.)
