To: The Magical Mischief Tour
Where's the helmet camera video from the entry team who were firing dozens of rounds into the home?

Why would they put a camera on the SWAT member who was to the rear, and subsequently jumped back into the vehicle and hit the floor of the vehicle when they started shooting? Why would they put a camera on the guy in the rear and not those in front, who were doing the shooting?

It looked to me as though all the equipment was simply made available to some fresh hires, who probably had never been through a Police Acadamy. They appear to have had some training in a military MOUT facility using some room clearing techniques, but had no inkling on how to employ operational planning or intelligence in their raid.

They didn’t believe they were going in against a heavily armed threat as their behavior manifests they simply thought they could pound in the door and advance more quickly than isolated opposition.

It speaks volumes against not just this team, but much more importantly, an incredibly irresponsible chain of command above them, giving them even an inkling of notion they would have the authority to operate in this fashion.

IMHO, those 2-3 steps up their chain of command is where criminal behavior is manifest by their actions.

Their behavior tells me they had been inadequately trained, inadequately planned, inadequate intel, lack of rules of engagement, grossly irresponsible with criminal intent.
