Wrong. This is about an unarmed and entirely innocent American citizen murdered by the police.
That someone was able to successfully phone-in a police "hit" on someone says more about the state of law enforcement in this country than it does on the "swatter".
So, we'll just use this thread, thank you very much.
As I said, I understand you may have some severe issues having to do with first responders - but again, try reading comment 13.
Bravo! Yes,the swatter (hate that term-sounds like a mosquito/fly killer) may have initiated the attack but their co-conspirators are the dispatch and the police officers on scene. The guy may have started it but no one would have died if law enforcement did their job properly.
If something like this happened to us, we would both be dead. I know that for a fact. And, likely my doggy too. Anyone storms into our house, they will get a response.
This guy deserves the death penalty. He murdered someone as surely as Charlie Manson did. Manipulation.
Didn't your mother, father, or some adult teach you that you have no right to butt into someone else's conversation and take it over for your own.?
If you pulled this crap anywhere other than from behind the anonymity and distance of the internet, your @$$ would be kicked out into the street. And my foot would be in the boot.
GROW UP!!!
Actually, it says a lot about both. The “swatter” needs to spend about 35 years in prison. The police need to review their procedures such that they determine who is the bad guy when there is no corroboration other than a phone call. Seems simple to me.
