The department should be held responsible even though it was an individual who made the fatal mistake.
As for the person who called in the swat team, it’s clearly murder.

The cop was either improperly trained or did not have the personality to remain calm in a situation where use of deadly force might be required. Maybe both. That's the department's fault. But the cop is the one who pulled the trigger. > As for the person who called in the swat team, it’s clearly murder. Reckless or negligent homicide is probably more realistic.
- watwut 9y agoThe third factor is legal system that rarely if ever punish officers while being eager to punish anyone else suspect. What incentive the department has to promote training that leads to less violence? It seems to be very little. They have trainings that makes cops more paranoid, more afraid and more aggressive (per Radley Balko reporting). It is not poor training as in "little of it". It might be result.of training itself.
