It’s hard to understand how these cops have come to view the world and their role. In an ironic twist, these guys truly believe they are battling domestic terrorists (drug dealers), rather than behaving as them. Do yourselves a favor and read this article from the local news—accessnageorgia: http://www.accessnorthga.com/detail.php?n=275516

They are unapologetic and have more sympathy for the feelings of the grenade thrower than the boy or his family (whom they allude knew what was going on and are sorta guilty too).

“Our team went by the book. Given the same scenario, we’ll do the same thing again. I stand behind what our team did.”

and...

“We hate that this happened,” Terrell said. “This tears our soul out, but we cannot stop standing up and being the thin blue line against those who don’t care about, who want to do the domestic terrorism and sell dope and make the money. We’re still going to stand between them and still do our job - we’ve got to.”

There is more of the same in the article—these guys really seem to believe they are heroes for doing this despite what happened, and that it’s not their fault AT ALL. Absolutely no consideration of the slightest possibility that these tactics might be to blame in any way, shape or form. No sense of self-examination or ability to see this from another’s viewpoint. Like sociopaths, I guess—not being a psychologist myself. Sure is sickeningly common and disturbing LE behavior these days though.

P.S. I have been to Habersham County —it’s mountainous, with redneck rural folks. Not exactly Compton...
