I expected to read of a no-knock raid at 5:00 AM.
Nope. They knocked and announced. The officer was shot while going down the basement stairs.
This is what motivates cops to shoot first at kids running away, at aunts standing in their homes, at ordinary citizens eating ice cream while watching TV.
I wish I had an answer for all this. But there isn’t one. Better for one cop to die in the line of duty while following protocol, than for a “suspect” to be shot by mistake.
The dirt bag fentanyl dealer perp deserves the federal death penalty for this.

And Yorkies, Beagles, pugs...etc?
