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.
And it appears the instigator has now been apprehended.
Surprised that they didn’t just kill him.
