That’s exactly how I feel.
Without a doubt. There was no difference between the state this kid was in and someone who is mentally challenged. Is it also justifiable to take out all mentally challenged suspects because they did not understand or immediately comply to a “lawful order” from an authoritarian Kapo with “unquestionable” power of life and death over the public detainees?
Several huge mistakes were made from the very moment of contact with these suspects. Starting with the fact that the officers were not even sure that they had the right suspects when they came around the corner into that hallway. What if it had been the wrong couple with a similar description? Totally acceptable “civilian” collateral damage just in case? Everyone is considered guilty and it is better to be safe than sorry in this state of unquestioned power and authority over the public based on cowardly self preservation?
The cowards should have just made the suspects get on the ground fingers locked, then advanced to the suspects in order to detain them, then what followed would have never happened. But the officer was hell bent on exercising his authority over the lower class citizen detainees with extra unnecessary commands. He just had to make the kid crawl and grovel to his feet of privileged class authoritarianism.
No... Innocence or guilt does not matter anymore. Wrong suspects or not does not matter anymore. Always guilt before innocence and we are all expendable without any question if we hesitate or deviate from the orders of the authoritarian police state. Innocent or guilty just one unconscious mistake in the orders commanded and bang... Totally acceptable “just in case” collateral damage to keep the privilege class Kapo safe.
