Twelve armed officers swooped on Mr and Mrs Gait's home, even though they did not possess any drones and had been at work during the reported sightings.
The force commissioned a "thorough independent review" of the drone incident last year.
It revealed 96 people "of interest" were identified, researched and ruled out during the investigation and the cost of the operation and subsequent investigation was £790,000.

L Chris Stewart, a lawyer for Mr Brooks’ family, said the officer who shot him should be charged with “an unjustified use of deadly force, which equals murder”.
“You can’t have it both ways in law enforcement,” Mr Stewart said. “You can’t say a Taser is a non-lethal weapon … but when an African-American grabs it and runs with it, now it’s some kind of deadly, lethal weapon that calls for you to unload on somebody.”

And accusing most Blacks of being (fill-in the negatives) because of the actions of the few.
And accusing most Whites of being (fill-in the negatives) because of the actions of the few.

Also note:

Policing really must be not political.


Is that where the USA is going 'wrong'?


Stay safe!

Only in alternate universes are straight lines circles.

Gaslighting seems to escape from alternate universes.

String theory is proved.

My partial "solution" to the evils of Capitalism, until something better than Mass Murdering and Enslaving Radical Left belief's is found.

Are strong worker unions and a Social Welfare State. Taxing a sufficient part of the profit's of Capitalism for the good of the people.

And still some will try to place blame where it doesn't belong. :-(

Now that is the greatest problem that the U.S. faces these days. ;-)

Correct.

The Radical Right, which blames the vast majority of Blacks and the Radical Left, which blames the vast majority Whites, are the same evil.

Yes, these hate filled bigot's have an inner evil need to impart evil actions and motive's on most because of the few.

Of course, these sicko's will deny their evil and will continue to say that most Blacks, or most Whites, are (fill-in the negatives).

Unfortunately, these sicko's will never go away.

Why would some officers rally around colleagues who are accused of committing crimes while on duty?
"When you first join the police academy, the first thing they tell you is, "This is your family now. We take care of each other. We look out for each other. We don't arrest each other. We'll always extend that benefit to take care of each other,'"

This is the problem. It must change. The public would never stand for it in airline pilots. Why in cops?

They tell them that in the Democratic controlled city's and their Democrat Police Chief's Academy's?

Wow!

Gaslighting is a method of psychological manipulation employed to make a victim question their own sanity, particularly in scenarios where they are mistreated.

It’s a torturous tactic employed to destroy a person’s trust in their own perception of reality. It’s a devastating distraction from oppression. It’s insidious.

In America, widespread anti-Black violence is often paired with structural gaslighting. Racism, after all, thrives when blame for its outcomes are misattributed.

And when Black people are killed by police, their character and even their anatomy is turned into justification for their killer’s exoneration. It’s a well-honed tactic.

By inaccurately portraying the medical findings from the autopsy of George Floyd, the legal system and media emboldened white supremacy, all under the cloak of authoritative scientific rhetoric. They took standard components of a preliminary autopsy report to cast doubt, to sow uncertainty; to gaslight America into thinking we didn’t see what we know we saw. In doing so, they perpetuated stereotypes about disease, risky behavior and intoxication in Black bodies to discredit a victim of murder. This state of affairs is not an outlier—it is part of a patterned and tactical distortion of facts wherein autopsy reports are manipulated to bury police violence and uphold white supremacy.
