This incompetency is almost unbelievable.
Not really. My experience of small town police forces isn’t far off what we’re seeing here in terms of incompetency. Sure there are a few small departments that are very, very good - but they are the exceptions in a sea of incompetence. Most small town police forces are only good for breaking up bar fights, rousting drunks or the drugged and writing lots and lots and lots and lots of tickets.
And yet we have people here on FR who still insist to the contrary.
It’s not incompetency IMO.
It’s interesting that this happened right when more gun legislation was up and coming.
Beyond coincidental, and IMO, inexcusably evil, because it was so handled as to have to been deliberate. Nothing could have been that coincidentally incompetent, have failed on so many levels.
