I've been at work the entire weekend, so I haven't been able to get all of the details on what they can actually charge him with. I anticipate they're going to crucify him if they can, and rightly so. He's completely unsympathetic, and taking no responsibility for his actions. He's pure trash. He's also a repeat offender. I'm sure he's going to care once handed that sentence. I hope they make an example out of him for people considering swatting in the future.

I'm in no way saying the officer that shot him isn't at fault. I didn't see the video of the swatting, if there's even one out yet, so I'm not commenting on that.

I saw it. It was 65-70 yards out, poor visibility. The guy just got unlucky that he died from 1 shot. They didn't light him up. 1 shot went off as soon as his hand dropped to his lower abdominal area. It didn't quite reach his waist.

I can't really fault the officer. It was a red hot call and they came in on red hot alert. Also he was not the only officer there. They had 5-6 cruisers in the circle and they were all posted up. He said put your hands up.

The hands were only up because he was gesturing. Then he turned back towards his door, assuming they aren't talking to him (right??? Why assume, it was like 100 yards away you can't tell if someone is even talking to you necessarily) So his hand momentarily dropped as he turned back towards his door sort of towards his waist, but again, its too far to say.

Cops posted up too far away without at least checking the house for noises. They shouldn't have set up a siege. They could have taken more risks by walking closer or driving closer. But since the suspect was armed, they set up a siege and used a PA system to try to get him to comply. He wasn't ready to hear the commands or obey any commands since he just woke up probably.

It's really sad the amount of emotional distress and grief this person has caused the officer(s), their families, and the victim's family and friends. It will take years of support and counseling for all parties to get through this. The fact that swatting is a thing really puts an enormous stress on the swat team. There's going to be lots of take-aways from this when it's all said and done.
