Analyst notes:
OK…. They shot an UNARMED man 16 times?!?!
16?????!!!!!
At what point when a guy in bed reaches for a flashlight that is mistaken for a gun does the “trained” officer’s brain realize that they SHOULD STOP PULLING THE TRIGGER? If a citizen fires more that 2 or 3 times, there is a huge inquiry as to whether “EXCESSIVE FORCE” was used so they can prosecute the victim…..
Am I the only one who thinks perhaps we are getting too close to a police state? Armed, warrantless invasions, SWAT forces in hamlets everywhere, huge ammo buyout by the feds, all this sure looks like the government is afraid of something! When do we citizens get protection not assaults?
But note.... the police determined it was JUSTIFIED use of force and WITHIN department guidelines. Some guidelines!!
