Here's a real beauty.

Unarmed woman kneeling with child killed by SWAT member because, he says, he thought people were shooting at him from inside the bedroom. So who was shooting? Other cops, shooting the dogs:

And, he's exonerated of all wrongdoing:

not so much as a misdemeanor negligent assault conviction.


This sort of reminds me of the guy in NYC, 10 years ago, shot 41 times. Plainclothes cops, who witnesses said did not identify themselves, chased the man to his home. As he reached for his wallet, one cop opened fire. Another cop, who was such a fat pig he couldn't keep his balance, fell backwards, which prompted the other cops to think he had been shot. Hail of bullets ensues. All officers acquitted. The Street Crime unit was disbanded in 2001 because of "budget issues" but we all really know why it was disbanded: because it had a systematic pattern of questionable shootings and issues of abuse, many of which involved officers not identifying themselves before they escalated the situation, and some of which involved misconduct using their plainclothes as a coverup. Good riddance Gestapo.

I mean, dude was shot in the bottom of the foot even.

Hey, speaking of waving a gun around and not identifying yourself (according to witnesses, at least) but more importantly, shooting an unarmed, fleeing man for what amounted to a misdemeanor:
