If he knew he wasn't the threat, the safest thing to do is knock on the front door. I don't see how anyone can suggest mysteriously snooping through the guy's backyard ALONE was a safer approach.

Instead, the cop went in alone...

I just wanted to point out that, according to the second article, it doesn't sound like he was alone.

Jordan yelled for his mom and his friend Josh to get the badge names of the deputies involved in the shooting. All of them turned away or covered up their name tags.
