This happened. There was a suicidal black man. Someone called 9-1-1. Said “this guy owns a gun.” Canines, snipers, all showed up. Somehow a miscommunication happened over the radio, someone shot the suicidal guy in the head with a sniper. Portland Oregon in 2010. Aaron Campbell. No one remembers this shit.
Because it’s happened at least a dozen times since then.
The tactical equipment these guys use, they see it like kids see toys. They’re actively looking for any excuse to break it out and play with it.
The handful of cops I knew when I was younger and thought I wanted to be one all had the same attitude. If there’s any possibility that the toys could be useful, they get the toys out. They’re giddy about it.
So miscommunication? Maybe. Sounds more like they heard what they wanted to hear and anything else was just noise between them and getting to get the toys out and kill a man.
This is so unrealistic. They don’t ask if it’s okay.
First honest cop?
On second thought, claiming to be able to shoot them in the face is probably overconfidence in their ability to aim.
They’re aiming for the dog.
Of course, is it just the baby who’s going to catch strays then?

how about the person who called it in, then? Do they catch strays or are they also destined for a flashbang?
If you’re a regular working stiff in MAGAmerica, don’t count on the police to protect you. That’s not their job anymore. They are there to keep us docile and confined, when we’re not working or commuting.
their job is always to enforce the law —who writes the law these days though? Laws that the police enforce are meant to keep the working class behaving in accordance to capitalists
Then you should call the mental hospital, not the police
Mental hospitals don’t have people on hold can leave on zero notice and drive across town with light and sirens. The police are out there all over and are supposedly trained to deal with all kinds of situations that do not need escalation and shooting people in the face. At least in the world outside of USA.
That’s why every civilized country educates officers for years, not just 3-4 weeks.
Mental hospitals (in their current state) don’t work, or so I’ve heard
