Just read/saw the story of the guy who got killed in Kansas. Obviously the person who called it in should be punished, but what about the officer(s) that shoot in these situations? They essentially weren't good enough at their job and made a fatal mistake, is that something we just look past?

I'm not exactly sure how dispatch works in these situations. If SWAT are like normal police then yes

Yeah, especially that guy in Kansas, from what little info I gathered.

I understand it's a very intense environment to be called to what is reported to be a murder and hostage situation, but, damn. Officers should be people that can handle that.

Officers screamed at Finch to put his hands in the air, but Livingston said the 28-year-old moved a hand toward his waistband. An officer, fearing Finch was reaching for a gun, fired a single shot. Finch died minutes later.

I hate to be that guy, but is this from the report or are there third parties who can verify that?

Easy to come up with any narrative you want, harder to prove it.

he was very confused and only had a few seconds to process what was going on. it was probably just a twitch or something. he wasnt' reaching for anything. he didn't even have anything. the cops murdered him

Imagine if it was a real hostage situation and the hostage taker sent out one of the hostages as a decoy and the twitchy pigs just fill the hostage with holes.

It's pretty tough in this situation. If what I've seen posted is accurate, then going into a hostage situation would probably mean they were in the mindset of take him out quick before he kills someone. Being completely innocent, the guy would have absolutely no idea what's going on and may have been in panic mode. I haven't gone through any training so that's just me assuming. That would be a situation I wouldn't really blame the cops.
