Fair enough. Im not a cop and I dont understand the specifics of copping. I have never assumed such and anyone paying attention knows I have made that clear again and again. However I can read and I have taken in all voices.
Here is what I do know, is that experts have had issues with NPPDs SRT that KV jammed through because the SSO told us no, when SSO professionals assessed the incident didnt warrant SWAT. His ego got pinched and rather than listening, he knew better. The dept reflects his failures on many many levels, not just the use of force.. Further, the article below has experts further expanding their doubts about the City properly supporting. Then there is the BS narrative we are moving to the Guardian versus Warrior model. However we say one thing and do another. Lastly, those picking up the tab are absolutely part of the equation. You want a SWAT then let the new Chief make the determination, the case and make that part of HIS plan. If it is the right thing, then most certainly he will request such RIGHT? We have managed 60 years with out this Shiney New Toy. Doesnt take a Tactical Command Officer to acknowledge we can wait another year.. or in my view, Until we have the Body cameras on.. then we should not but that is simply a voting taxpayers opinion. Like it or not, I am entitled to such.
