Hopefully there will be a FULL investigation of LE into why this happened.
Not going to dispute that at all !!
If LE want us to trust them-- they need to release all of the body cam footage.
There's no reason at all to withhold it.
I will certainly 'eat crow' if the officer who shot Andrew did this because he just loves to murder anybody he can.
It's infuriating that Andrew died because some *bleep bleeper* thought it would be fun to call in a fake scenario.
The fact that TB added the bit about gas being poured throughout , hostages taken, and that the caller was going to possibly throw a match and light up the place.... made this into the tragedy it is !
LE came there thinking they had to get the caller to come out and away from the house with arms in the air-- or use extreme measures to
save the hostages.
Except there were no hostages, nor was there any deceased people (per TB's call),nor was any fuel poured.
Law enforcement was also victimized -- just as they have been in other situations where they were called and it was an ambush instead.
Some people expect LE to protect them and even lay down their own lives for them. And then when it goes haywire LE gets the brunt of the blame.
What if LE had waited and tried to further assess the situation-- and then (assuming this was a real scenario) a match was thrown , engulfing the house ?
There'd be dead hostages and LE would be at fault, in the eyes of the public, anyway.
It's like LE can't win.
Never mind about the puke who called it in.
Andrew's death is on T. Barriss .
Wish this TB could get at least 2nd degree murder or manslaughter !
Won't be holding my breath.
:moo:
