As he should

The guy who sent the SWAT team at all, as a first response to a single phone call, should be facing consequences.

And the police in general in the US seem to need to calm the fuck down. Whether the guy that pulled the trigger should be culpable is definitely something that should be examined in court.

Seems like a whole series of bad actors.

There should be a lot of people going to jail over this. There doesn't have to be just one person to take the fall.
