I read the report. Crazy what people say on the jailhouse phone, even though it’s common knowledge that those lines are recorded.
As far as I’m concerned, any reasonable jury would not convict the cops, but they should have been more aware. Sending bullets back through a door, they didn’t have a clue what was really behind. Coulda been an unlicensed daycare.
More aware how? Using super powers like x-ray vision? Maybe they should imagine every drug house firefight as gang bangers with baby vests on?
I'm serious, let's get real. Are you suggesting they can see the bullets moving slower like the Matrix, that they should assume babies are around and back away from any raid where they are shot at because running is better then shooting the shooter?
How would they be more aware, and how would it have changed the outcome?
Yeah I'm serious. NYPD is known to have had "X-ray" vans for several YEARS now and I figure many other departments have them as well now. As for them using radio waves instead of x-rays, x-rays pass through most materials like light passes through a chain link fence, due to the wavelength being much shorter than the distances between atoms (usually).
That's a suggestion for general safety of not hitting people behind your target in a controlled firefight. If you are approaching a closed room in a drug raid after a 5 minute self announcement, walking down the hallway, and they start firing at you from behind the door, you either (a) decide you can turn around and outraced bullets coming at you down the hallway, or (b) assume the shooter is willing to start a firefight behind the door, meaning they made a likely decision nothing in the room is worth avoiding starting said firefight.
Police safety matters. Police lives matter. Don't make up impossible standards and ignore reasonable situational assumptions just to apply anti cop vague assertions of wrong doing. I see this shit CONSTANTLY and it always looks like libtard thinking.

They actually do have wall penetrating radar nowadays.
Oh ffs. Are you being serious? Lol.

The 4th rule of firearm safety is:

I don’t think they should have been pounding on he door. Either knock like a reasonable person or take the door off its hinges.
