> Police then fired 32 rounds into the apartment... Cosgrove fired 16 shots from the doorway area... Hankison fired 10 times from outside through a sliding glass door and bedroom window, both of which were covered by blinds or curtains... The officers' shots hit objects in the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway, bathroom, and both bedrooms.
This reads an assasination attempt by a drug cartel. Which part of this is 'trained proffeshionals'? Which part is reasonable use of force, or restrain to make sure you don't kill rand9m innocent people nearby?

Instead it was drug detectives who evidently wanted the chance to go out and play army. The whole thing was run with an appalling lack of common sense or adherence to their own written policies and it points to a breakdown of discipline within the department.
