I agree that there are good people and bad people who work as cops, just as there are all kinds of people in every line or work. I’ve seen video where cops went to great lengths and put themselves in considerable danger in order to avoid using lethal force against an armed man. Dozens of police officers get shot and killed in cold blood every year while making traffic stops and serving warrants. An officer was gunned down and killed by an illegal immigrant in a town near me a few years ago while making a routine traffic stop. It’s a very dangerous job.
I agree with the poster who said this is an institutional problem. The cops clearly did not use the right procedure to serve this warrant. I get the sense that the cops knew this man was probably armed, which is why they sent a SWAT team to serve the warrant. It looks like the SWAT team was much too impatient and broke his door down way too soon when they should have given the man at least an hour to surrender peacefully. I have no idea why they shot this poor man 60 times. That is just bizarre and sadistic. Something about this whole raid is strange and doesn’t add up. I’m thinking about it and trying to find a theory for what really happened here.
.... what if you were a big politician and you wanted to get rid of Sheriff Dupnick?
How better than to have something he is responsible for go terribly wrong?
