A quick read of an article about the incident tells me that the cops shot the guy.
Whether he Swatted someone or didn’t, doesn’t really matter.
It seems that people are more worried about the guy, and his past, than why the cops shot an unarmed man, in his home, for no reason. Believe it or not, sometimes cops have to confront a “real, legitimate threat” before they can start blasting. Oh wait, I forgot, as long as they go home safe, at night, all is forgiven. Don’t worry about the unarmed, homeowner, in his own home, doing absolutely nothing wrong.
An alarming number of people (Freepers included) simply cannot grasp, nor believe that the cops are capable of murder or committing crimes. So when someone comes along and points out the rising numbers of murderous criminal cops, they begin to unspool...
Cognitive dissonance at work really...
Exactly. These were murders by the police regardless of the circumstances of the call. Let’s keep the focus on that.
