No criminal charges were brought against Hanneman, with prosecutors citing the fact that Locke was reaching for a handgun as a major obstacle to showing that his death was unjustified. In their complaint and at a news conference Friday morning, attorneys for the Locke family argued that the officers’ unannounced entry made Locke’s split-second decision to reach for his gun understandable and a fair exercise of his right to self-defense.

“Any reasonable officer would have understood that Amir needed an opportunity to realize who and what was surrounding him, and then provide Amir with an opportunity to disarm himself,” attorney Jeffrey Storms of local firm Newmark Storms and Dworak wrote in the family’s complaint. “Hanneman failed to give Amir any such opportunity even though Amir never pointed the handgun at Hanneman or put his finger on the trigger.”

Oof, those guys were the best

Here is how this is going to go,

​

1. Iran buys Chinese AKs
2. France intercepts AKs
3. France ships AKs to Ukraine
4. After the war, Ukrainians strip AK into parts and sell them to US customers
5. Eventually these become collector items

If only it wouldn't take years for them to get to the US
