> This is a systemic issue: Ok yeah people have tried several times to unsuccessfully SWAT sitting members of Congress. Like clearly there is a list of addresses like "this address belongs to a Congress person, proceed with caution." Dispatch should add OP to this list. However, it is the job of the officer to investigate. I doubt it is the officer's first day in life in the United States. They know how things work here. Yeah, cities hate paying out for police officers who get hurt and disabled on the job and have decided it is cheaper to pay for "bad apples" than to have a police force that shows humanity. This we have this situation where police officers shoot to preserve their own life just in case the suspect is armed (a valid assumption when getting hold of a gun is easy). > police officers don't do a good job at the assessment of the situation before they kick doors in. This isn't always an easy call to make
