That’s stunning. When is the MSM going to address this?
Check this one out.
Joseph Buczek.
A Sarasota, Florida SWAT team is called to the home of Joseph Buczek, who police concede had done nothing wrong and was suspected of no crime.
The SWAT team arrived after a cab driver falsely called and reported that Buczek was “bloody and injured.” When police arrived, they found Buczek asleep in his favorite easy chair, apparently intoxicated and depressed, with a gun at his side.
Hours later, a SWAT team showed up, and deployed a flashbang grenade in Buczek’s direction. Buczek, apparently alarmed, raised his gun in the direction of the noise, at which point Sgt. John LeBlanc shot him to death. Police later said they deployed the flashbang and commenced the raid on Buczek “for his own safety” and that police themselves would have been criticized had Buczek killed himself while police continued to wait him out.
A subsequent investigation found no wrongdoing on the part of police, and concluded that Buczek shouldered most of the blame for his own death.
