At the beginning of the year here in Lost Angeles a SWAT cop and his buddy were shot after they went into a home after a suspect who was barricaded inside.
They city, PD and all people concerned were falling all over each other trying to praise the 'hero' who was killed. They glazed over the fact that they went into the home without any plan or thought as to what the situation entailed- If I remember correctly they were there less than .5 hours. Just enough time to get suited up and load a gun.
All across the country these kind of storiues come to light-Why? Because there are too many cowboys-emphasis on boys-who go in locked and loaded.
Again, the old standby, 'I had reason to believe my life was in danger/he had a weapon/the suspect made a suspicious move....." will serve as an excuse for shooting anything that looks at cops in a malicious way.
9 times out of 10 a barking dog is just that, a barking dog....
But then again I can see where a cop would mistake a retreiver for a dangerous dog.....like a pomeranian or a pug. It happens everyday!
