Alright... I'll offer myself up to the debate gods for sacrifice.
I personally don't read all this conspiracy into that article.
He called a hotline that then reported the situation to the police department. The police department, acting on the information
it was given, sent units to a house with a potentially armed/suicidal occupant that was wanting help and was obviously seriously distressed. They did
not kick his door in with guns blazing, stun grenades sounding, battering rams flinging.... they simply contained the situation and made commo. Quite patiently it seems.
Now, the gentleman then answers his phone.... and
50 minutes later decides to walk out of the door. He does so
without the SWAT tactics of gas, etc being employed to facilitate this response. Of course, as he leaves... he locks the door.
Are we really supposed to believe that the police at this point are supposed to pack up and leave without investigating the house, etc to see if any threats to him, his neighbors, his friends, his family,etc are still present within the house????
Let's put it in context... it took him 50 minutes AFTER first contact on the phone to comply with the directive to come outside. There is obviously much more to this story. I also love the "having weapons pointed at him upon leaving his apartment triggered his PTSD hyper-vigilance and caused irregular heartbeat" crap. REALLY? Well, lets give every felon a check for disability then if they have multiple arrests or require a SWAT response to come and get them during an arrest. You don't want weapons pointed at you... don't give them a reason or in this case MULTIPLE reasons. Easier to battle a bad cop (s) in court when you have the high ground of being right in your actions, IMO....
FWIW, I am not a cop. I hate pigs.
haha Let the debate begin.
