I get when cops have a gun aimed at them they shoot. That makes since. If I have one pulled on me I will shoot too, but the issue I see is the fact that the cops came at all. Below is why they said they came.

"A U.S. Census worker "had been confronted by residents who pointed a firearm at the worker and said they would not answer any questions and closed the door," said police spokeswoman Shawna Pavey."


The people were on their private property. They didn't open fire. They just told the census worker to leave while and they had firearms. Both of these actions are legal on their property.

Some of you guys are saying the census people are at fault which they might be to a certain extent but civilians dont know all the laws they might have thought what happened to them was a crime.

The cops should have heard the issue and said there is no reason for us to go there. The only reason they would have been justified in coming is if the residents called saying the census worker wouldnt leave their property.
