1. This SCORPION unit was set up as some kind of quasi-military organization to combat violent crime.
2. Because it is Memphis, the unit ended up getting filled with a lot of out-of-shape, retarded mutants.
3. The unit's standard operating procedure is to use traffic stops as a justification for searching vehicles and apprehending violent criminals.
4. As a result of their training and their retardation, it never occurred to them that some dude they pull over might just be a normal dude.
The irony here is that the single biggest point of fact that will drive the aftermath of this incident is that the victim was a FedEx driver. Memphis is the company’s main hub, and the CEO has probably had his staff calling every senior person in the city government and police department non-stop, 24 hours a day, since the incident occurred.
You are right on the money.
These guys were trained to operate the way they did.
With that in mind, I believed this guy got swatted.
For whatever reason, these so called cops got info that this was a bad operator.
They did what they were trained to do.
Not victim blaming, but check the victims background, and you just might find the dude that swatted him.
No he was not a driver but worked at a warehouse that is 3rd party run by FedEx. I know cause I worked with him.
