Sprry, but too many cops kill at the drop of a hat. Especially SWAT. The first sign of a threat and they panic. I understand wanting to go home, but I want to go home as well. Cops chose their job, I didn’t choose to be a backstop to random fire.

Check out the cato institute records of swat incidents.
One cope shot a dog. Another, hearing the shot, turned to the wall and sprayed. He killed a teen girl and wounded her mother.
He put his life above the duty to protect the innocent. And he faced no consequences for his actions.
These stories go on and on. Cowardly behavior that doesn’t even get fired as unfit to be a cop. I hope nothing happens to your boys, but their lives are not more valuable than the innocents they encounter. They chose a career that they knew might place them in harms way.

Look, I’m as down on cops as anyone here for raids gone bad. I’ve posted the link to the Cato page you reference numerous times.

And this isn’t a “bad shoot” situation at all, if the reporting is half true. You are barking up the wrong tree.
