re: Florida deputy fatally shot US airman that answered the door with a gun

Insufficient information to "internet convict" the officer in this scenario. The department might be liable...

Without specific details, we can suggest the officer was part of the team, acting on a legitimate operations plan, with full confidence all locations/suspects were identified and confirmed. No one can expect every officer arriving to a scene to independently verify every aspect. There are mechanisms in place to confirm details with sufficient accuracy. These mechanisms are effective if followed and verified. These types of scenarios occur probably hundreds of times daily, with a rare occurrence like this.

Also, we don't know if the article has any accuracy. Was it truly the "wrong unit" the officers entered? Was this one of those "swatting" scenarios?

Now that this has devolved into a race issue in the media, everything the media reports is suspect, to the point of likely being downright false information and intentionally withheld exculpatory facts.
