Saw this on facetube. It happened in 2017 I believe. Anyway, I can't believe the comments on Facebook, saying he was in the right. What y'all think, and know about this.

Anyone have an opinion on the shoot in the video?
To me it looks like attempted murder, and I believe he was charged with that and a couple other things. I can't believe all the people saying that was a good shoot. So I just want you make sure I'm not crazy , or confirm that I am.

Not hard to find the info on this..

Ambushed police officer thankful the suspect carried a Taurus
The concept of a shotgun pistol sure sounds cool, but the effectiveness of this weapon is still questionable.

A Deputy Sheriff from Troup County Georgia was allegedly ambushed by a suspect carrying a Taurus Judge loaded with .410 shotgun shells.

No, Deputy Michael Hockett was not trespassing. The property owner and suspect’s father requested what is known as a “welfare check” for his 28-year-old son, Matthew Edmondson. This is a completely legal and constitutional police function requested by the property owner. Even if Deputy Hockett had been trespassing, which he was not, Edmondson broke the law first by shooting the deputy’s vehicle and again by pursuing the fleeing deputy.

Ultimately whether the deputy should have been there or not is inconsequential. The point of this video is to show the ineffectiveness of .410 shot fired from a shotgun pistol. Had Edmondson been packing .45 long colts it may have been a completely different story that would have likely ended Deputy Hockett’s life.

Deputy Hockett was hit in his forehead, elbow, and waist with the tiny pellets but was able to return fire and hit Edmondson in the arm. Edmonson returned to his house where he kept his mother hostage against her will.

A SWAT team was called in and Edmondson eventually surrendered after a standoff that lasted over 6 hours. According to WSB-TV, an Atlanta ABC affiliate, Edmonson has been arrested and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, and false imprisonment.

Deputy Hockett was taken to a local hospital and released. He was placed on standard administrative leave following a shooting. “I’m thankful that the Lord (saw) me through it,” he said to WSB. “I’ve replayed it in my head, and I know in my heart that I did everything I could to do the best I could with the situation I’d been placed in.”

You can't shoot a trespasser, regardless of what signs you've posted or what advice you've heard on Matlock (or from Bucky Joe Billy Bob who lives yonder).

You can shoot in the event of a forcible felony only:

Florida (Section 776.012(2), Florida Statutes) states that a “person is justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if he or she reasonably believes that using or threatening to use such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony”(emphasis added).

Section 776.08, Florida Statutes, a “forcible felony” is defined as “treason; murder; manslaughter; sexual battery; carjacking; home-invasion robbery; robbery; burglary; arson; kidnapping; aggravated assault; aggravated battery; aggravated stalking; aircraft piracy; unlawful throwing, placing, or discharging of a destructive device or bomb; and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual.”

The Dbag shooting at the cop was nothing more than that I know this posted back in 2017 with the video as well.
