I get where you are coming from, but blaming the police officers is not the correct conclusion. You should be solely outraged at the caller Tyler Barriss.

Tyler Barriss is going to go to prison. He's a sociopath. Nobody is on his side. But the cops killed an unarmed, innocent man. Clearly whatever process they are following is deeply flawed. 'Swatting' is also a UNIQUELY American phenomenon - why?

That seems extreme. Why shouldn't police be held accountable for killing an unarmed person?
