The cops only know what YOU tell them. I dont know why anybody would make it clear that you had a 5 minute standoff before you decided lethal force was necessary. That makes you look bad/guilty. When a perp is in YOUR home, you protect YOUR interests. Going to jail and being away from my family is not very high on that list, so I will say what needs to be said in order to protect my own well being. After all, dead men still cant talk.
