An Arkansas police officer who allegedly told a colleague that he'd shoot through the door if any protesters came to his home has been charged with manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a fellow officer who knocked on his door, authorities said Thursday.
Calvin Salyers, a 33-year-old officer in the Little Rock suburb of Alexander, surrendered on Wednesday in the June 3 fatal shooting of Officer Scott Hutton, the state police said.
Hutton, 36, went to Salyers' home to pick up a patrol car and was shot through the door after knocking on it, a state police investigator said in an arrest affidavit.
When Hutton arrived at Salyers' home, he texted him, 'are you awake,' according to an affidavit. When he didn't get a response, Hutton walked to the front door and knocked.

One less criminal on the streets. Speaking about the trigger happy cop. Condolences to Mr. Hutton’s family. Tragic really
So sad.......bet nobody burns down the town or has a peaceful protest and destroy a church or two
Only a scaredy-cat would shoot through the door
Joe Biden told folks to do that
Trained police officer forgot one of the basic rules of gun safety, "Know Your Target".
Just manslaughter? Guarantee if that was a regular citizen they would have the book thrown at them. What kind of psycho shoots through the door just because someone knocked on it? Luckily it wasn't some kid knocking on the door to see if he wanted his grass cut or selling a fundraiser.
He should plead insanity caused by MSM coverage of the COVID-19 Psyop and the “Protests”
One question to be asked here, Was Officer Hutton wearing his ballistic vest?
