murder, plain and simple
That video depicts one thing, murder under color of law. That man was shot from the doorway, the order to “get down!” came after the shots. Murder. Plain and simple.
mistakes were made...
Cop says he is “Pleased his training, gun and ammo allowed him to make such short work...” Paraphrase, sort of but, pretty accurate if one reads the article.
What LEO is taught to shoot less then 2 seconds after the command "Freeze" is given ?
Absolutely, every simple one of these JBT should be fired and the supervisor fired and every single one of them dragged into court and drained of all their earthly possessions
Justified shooting my ass.
But alas, it will be all wiped out by the "oh shit" moment, when the choir notices he forgot to kill the dog.
Wow. Just damn. The fact that a cop isn’t going to prison, and a squad isn’t being disbanded over this is truly amazing to me. Murder. State sanctioned murder.
Exactly right; I agree with GlockTheVote: only in the most crazy emergent situations should anything resembling a no-knock raid occur. Basically, some kind of major crime in progress, hostage situation, etc.
Any other interpretation of the Fourth Amendment falls into Blue Jays' "a few screws loose" category...
When it comes right down to it, the People need to be fully educated and informed on their Unalienable and Natural Rights.
Our rights are what they are, not what the state says they are.
At least, when we fully understand our Freedom and associated Rights, we can make informed choices when deciding how to respond to deadly criminal scenarios like the ones easily created by police nowadays with these abominations known as "no knock warrants".
The police abuse of warrant powers is one of the most Tyrannical facets of modern America. And, of course, there's the ludicrous Seizure issue as well. Basically, the Central government is (unconstitutionally, of course) evolving and implementing a Federal Police State...
That is just plain murder.
Guy never had a chance to assess his situation.
They come through the door and with 3 quick “get on the ground” commands fire instantly after the last command.
JBT all the way.
Saw the video a few days ago and was sickened...
These thugs need to be charged with murder, and a few other charges and spend time in prison where they truly belong. Those responsible for these kind of acts are criminals and threats to civil society.
I will not be surprised to hear about the day some JBTs make another “mistake” and some of them are literally blasted back out the door from a person lawfully defending himself and his family.
This kind of garbage needs to stop.
