>You'd think the NRA would be all over this: a legal gun owner killed in his home by police? Nope [2]. I wonder why.
The NRA is horribly corrupt and self serving. It seems many organizations have come to this demise in the US the past few decades. I've heard of many gun owners abandon them.
>Let's also compare to Kyle Rittenhouse. Attorneys wanted to use the fact that one of his victims was a sex offender as a defense [3].
I assume it's a tactic to show he was a "bad guy," which was used to prove that Rittenhouse wasn't the initial aggressor. I believe the person in question had also been discharged from a mental facility that day and had quite a few issues with the law.
>I bring this up because I want to highlight the different worlds people live in when it comes to law enforcement.
While I completely agree with what you are saying, there are many different law enforcement organizations in the US (each city/town has one) and in those departments there are many different officers. Some of those organizations are highly corrupt and shouldn't exist and some of those officers are highly corrupt and shouldn't be employed or be jailed.
Having said that, any organization that tries to cover up the actions of a bad officer shouldn't exist and is part of the problem.
All of this is the result of the 50+ year drug war our government has been waging against its citizens.
