Not to worry; "qualified immunity" will make sure nobody is hurt by this "isolated incident."
Hey spata, pm rebel with what you were gonna say and let him post it.
It took me a few bans but I finally figured out not to criticize our wonderful peace keeping overlords. They do no wrong. Even when killing dozens of innocent family pets...
Dayum! I bet that is pretty close, but with more colorful language.
Hey guess what?!?! If we had everyone beheaded who EVER made a major mistake on the job whatever that job is there would be no one left. And don't give me that LEOs are held to a higher standard crap. Hi standard yes, perfect...never gonna happen. I have seen well trainned well intentioned men doing their best make mistakes that had horendous consequenses. **** happens guys, especially in hi speed hi stress situations. Does that mean there should not be consequenses for kicking the wrong door and killing a nice guys pet? Hell no! But most of those posting in this thread want this situation handled as if the LEOs had criminal intent which they obviously did not.
That escalated quickly. Why are you so obsessed with beheading people?
Okay, let's hold them to the SAME standard, breaking and entering, illegal discharge of a firearm, destruction of private property, reckless endangerment, and probably a few more.
Edit: they can roll the dice, just like everyone else, and be put on trial with a jury of their "peers."
And you make my point. Its not the SAME.
For a "higher standard" to hold true, stricter scrutiny and harsher penalties would be required. In reality, outside of public opinion, "honest mistakes" are considered a valid defense in these types of cases.
So which is it? Higher or lower?
Its all about intent, the LEOs involved thought they we right. I think we kick in too many doors in this country, that is the issue. What bothers me more than an occational honest mistake are the literally thousands of cases every year where the correct door is knocked down and NOTHING is found.
