Police murder an innocent man based on a fraudulent phone call. The police brutality angle is what people are ignoring here.
Looks like at least half of the feedback on Yahoo News to this article is about the inappropriate police response. Even some police responding saying that the lack of verification before sending in a SWAT team, let alone drawing weapons, was very strange. Nobody seems to be ignoring it.
Media coverage tends to be ignoring it, or at least downplaying it and focusing on the person that falsely reported the guy instead of also on the police response.
