Well isn’t that special? Now that the baby has been burned, the governor is going to “await an investigation.” And after much clucking of tongues and lamentation over the unfortunate events, precisely nothing will happen. The uniparty wants it’s version of law and order and it’s gonna get it regardless.
Is the baby going to recover? I don’t think I realized how badly he (or she) was hurt.
Deal is a 19 year Republican, former Democrat.
The sheriff did do one wise thing. He asked for prayer for all. However, the presence of the Holy Spirit may not let him, or the system he is part of, sit back on smug laurels. This is not an easy situation where there is a clear villain and a clear hero. All had “room for improvement” as is euphemistically put.
They knew who this guy was, he was a parole violator, there was no need to storm this house.
Maybe THIS will be the case that starts to put an end to this type of needless violence.
It’s heartbreaking that it took the critical injury of a 19 month old baby to get the widespread JB abuses into the spotlight.
Neither, Mr Governor. What is required is prosecution. A stripping of immunity, criminal prosecution, then civil suits. Make it clear that you act recklessly, you're going to pay, with your job, your home, and in time served.
What is required is cajonies to stand up to the police department unions. I'm going to guess that you're not going to do that, which means yet another cover up.
The saddest part - the ONLY reason why this is news is that they tossed a flash bang into the crib. Had they MERELY bashed down the door and broke that little child's arm, that'd be nothing more than 'minor injuries were treated...'
There really has to be a threshold before ANY lethal or 'not quite lethal' force is used in an encounter, and I'm honestly at the point of 'the other person used lethal force, so officers responded in kind.' No longer a 'officers felt there was a danger...'
And absolutely the same standard for officers as private citizens.
have they released the name of this hero of the empire yet???As a Christian, I know that the good Lord knows who tossed that explosive and I also know that that LEO will pay whatever is due if the price is not paid here. I’m hoping that that LEO cannot sleep at night without hearing poor, tiny Bou Bou’s cries of pain and agony from the explosive tossed into his playpen while he was asleep. I hope the sounds, smells and scene will forever haunt his waking and sleeping moments.
On the other hand, the city’s Police Chief knows he is going to lose this case no matter what he says or does.
I’m trying to figure out why so many people are focused on the issue of the kid. The baby makes this news sensational, but it would be no more appropriate if the victim had been the suspect. This shouldn’t be about them not knowing there was a kid in the house.
Police do not belong using military tactics and weapons in a civilian environment. Blindly tossing a flashbang is flat out wrong. Going immediately to SWAT and using that flashbang are the mistakes, not simply the lack of intel.
People are focusing on the wrong problem.
Doesn`t surprise me. But “We the people” are “gun nuts” for wanting a couple of long guns and pistols while these jack boots toss grenades at kids.
