Still not seeing a problem?

The police officer who shot Finch did not face charges.
"What gives the cops the right to open fire?" the victim's mother, Lisa Finch, said in January. "That cop murdered my son over a false report."

What I see is your lack of knowledge about police procedures and you taking an incident on the surface and ignoring all other facts. Apparently you are clouded by a dislike or hatred for Police.

A man called in a serious crime in progress at a location, serious enough for the swat team to be ordered in. There is a major heigtened sense of urgency by police and adrenaline is moving. They are expecting the worst, saying its unfortunate they young man died doesnt seem powerful enough but I dont know how to put into words to make it sound as it should.

Because the unarmed man was shot does not mean Police murdered him nor does it mean they did something wrong WHEN YOU TAKE ALL THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES into consideration. The person that murdered that young man is the young man that was charged with swatting. If investigations determined than an officer or officers did something wrong or criminal during the course of that shooting, they would be charged without hesitation.

The facts AREN'T that it wasn't a credible threat?

Key wording. False report. That’s why the police are not under fire.

If it wasn't widely known that police use overkill in response to well, everything, swatting wouldn't be a problem, now would it?

EMTs know

"Guys hang on, hang on. Don't hurt him. We're on film," an EMT could be heard saying to the officer in question.

Ok, Helena your bias has so clouded your judgement on anything police, I respectfully decline to discuss anything Police with you again.

I understand.

Respectfully, there are some instances and videos out there that people jump all over police about, where I didn't see a problem with how some police handled certain situations.

I believe I pointed one out on this forum, but I could be mistaken about that.

On the whole, I truly believe that law enforcement in this country needs a complete overhaul.

If you ever change your mind about any instances I post about in the future, and are willing to point out where the police went wrong, I won't hold it against you.

Not to downplay the deplorable actions of that swatter, but is there no requirement to corroborate these kinds of calls?

What sort of overhaul?
