I'm not afraid of my own death and I would be happy for it to happen in the defense of myself or someone worthy.
and if this were the other way around, where the officers were killed, people in this thread would be making the same comments about the shooter not having to provide information
............The responding officers
Matthew Harrity, who has been with the Minneapolis Police Department for a year, and Mohamed Noor, who has been with the department for 21 months, were the responding officers to the scene after Justine Maia Ruszczyk called 911 to report a possible assault near her home on Saturday, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) announced in a press release Tuesday night.
Harrity was driving the squad car, while Noor was in the passenger seat. As they neared Ruszczyk's home, Harrity indicated that he was startled by a loud sound near the car, after which Ruszczyk immediately approached the driver's side, according to the Minnesota DPS.
The deadly shooting
Noor then fired his weapon, striking Ruszczyk through the driver's side window, which was open, the Minnesota DPS said. The officers provided medical assistance to Ruszczyk until EMS arrived, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed Monday that Ruszczyk died of a single gunshot wound to her abdomen after she was shot.
Both officers have been placed on standard paid administrative leave pending the investigation. Ruszczyk's death has been ruled a homicide.
Investigators are seeking to interview a white male about 18 to 25 years old who was seen riding a bicycle in the area immediately before the shooting, according to the Minnesota DPS.

You want to know the difference between you and I and every other police officer I know.
I'm not afraid of my own death and I would be happy for it to happen in the defense of myself or someone worthy.
That qoute is coming from you, you would lay down your life for someone "worthy", what makes them worthy for you to lay down your life, would you jump in front of a car to save someone crossing the street, would you risk your life in a gunfight to get a kid out of the path of bullets, would you put your life on the line to save some hood rat in the street, I doubt it, you will only save someone YOU deem worthy.
We would lay down my life for any citizen of the US any random person, whether they are rich, poor, white, black, blue, green, yellow. I know most would not do the same for me, you can talk tough all day long but when push comes to shove I personally don't believe a word you say
