I did see the video. He didn’t have to go straight in. He really should have waited for his buddy. But they train to operate individually and just go straight to guns. So that’s what panic stricken cops are going to do. Insert themselves into situations and kill people until they can go home again. At which point people like you show up to defend them.
We don’t have to accept this behavior. We can see better models of threat reduction in other countries.
The officer entered the house without a weapon drawn. Upon observing a threat, and was engaged by that threat before he was able to draw and aim his own weapon.
For the officers to have had sufficient time to engage him before he completes his initial attack, they would have had to have approached the door with weapons already drawn.
That’s why I asked about the time frame. Meeting your expectation for this scenario
The only feasible way they could have feasibly de-escalated the threat or used a less-lethal weapon would have been to enter the home of a black family with tasers and nightsticks in their hands.
I am comfortable in assuming that you would have a giant fucking problem with taser-wielding cops barging into black homes with no indication of an active threat.
You want the officers to wait for backup? I am comfortable in assuming you would have a giant fucking problem with a cop sitting in his patrol car while an attack is in progress, just waiting around until his partner arrives.
No, there’s no policy or standard that they could adopt that would actually make you happy, so there’s no point in trying. Since you and people like you are going to be pissed off no matter what they do, they might as well ignore you completely, and focus on someone else.

You uh dance professionally or just when you’re trying to miss the point so you don’t have to accept things?
He should not have approached the house alone when backup was right there.
They should have approached with weapons drawn. The door was open and the caller reported an aggressive person.
One of those weapons should have been less than lethal.
There was an indication of a threat on the 911 call.
His buddy, the second camera angle, is a second away from linking up with him when he decides to follow Leroy Jenkins example.
There’s plenty of policies that would make me happy. I don’t ignore the existence of things just to score Internet points.
