Why do cops keep approaching in a ‘shooting lane’?

Halls and walls form ‘shooting lanes’ and death traps.

Why do cops keep walking into them?

“about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southeast of Atlanta.”

So why would a local station in Georgia feel the need to put the distance in km??

82% of the population of Locust Grove, Georgia is white.

Warrants!!!...It is NEVER worth the life of any law enforcement officer. There has to be better ways to do it because the scenarios are always the same when serving at a residence.

Senior officers feel bullet proof and charge in

Every arrest should be treated as if your life is at stake.

Any resistance should be taken as life threatening and the arrestee be rendered harmless.

I am sure before too long we will know the identity of the shooter, and from there, his entire demographic group can be condemned.

He said it happened as the officers were serving an arrest warrant that morning at a home in Locust Grove, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southeast of Atlanta.

Curious what the arrest warrant was for.

I would like to know what the arrest warrant was for. Murder suspect, kidnapping, armed robbery or rape is understandable. Anything else is BS and not worth the risk serving a warrant at a residence.

This attitude is also why we see so many controversial shootings.

“Any resistance should be taken as life threatening and the arrestee be rendered harmless.”

It’s just another aspect of the War on Cops. We have seen such events as of late in Texas, Colorado and now Georgia, where persons are being served warrants and they shot and kill police officers.

I live not too far from Locust Grove and just heard through friends that the officers were serving a warrant for failure to appear. Also that the dead officer’s wife is due to give birth any day now, maybe even today. Terrible situation.
