I agree on the SWATer. He is guilty of murder and should be punished accordingly. I disagree on the officer. If facts are as they seem, he should not ever again be an officer, and should face a criminal trial for his actions.

The more I codgitate on the senireo the more I agree

Police work is inherently dangerous . Ever Officer accepts that as part of the job. You simply cannot guess if a person has anything in their hands. You need to prosess the nerve to hold your fire until you KNOW if there is a weapon present . I'm tired of these Officer in their full combat regalia saying they thought there was a weapon when the victims hands prove to be empty or at worst holding a cell phone. If you don't have the nerve.....quit. Everyone wants to go home safely to their family. You shoot first and plead ignorance you need to go to jail. We need to hold the Police accountable.

The 911 call states a one story house. Did they not recognize this was a 2 story?

The cop who shot should be up on charges right alongside the person who called in the fake SWATing report. His hands appeared to still be in view to me.

This looks very much like the case in Arizona of the Texas man who was murdered. Maybe a few murder convictions will lead to a change in this behavior.

Sad to see that the Police Cheif is blaming everyone ( including the victim) except his Officers for the killing.

All to often the Police seem to be all to ready to kill fellow civilians without verifiable cause. Judge, Jury and Exicutioner. Hopefully the family will receive just compensation if such a sum exists.
