Rogers explained his initial thoughts about the Rules of Engagement:
In this particular situation, after hearing the description of what had taken place, specifically the fire-fight, the loss of a marshal, it was clear to me that there was a shooting situation taking place at this location.
And had the marshal not fired first and killed the dog, who was hardly likely to have been pointing a firearm at him, he would not have gotten shot. Nor would he have shot a teenage boy in the back.
