Well, the article goes on to say that the girl's father was later convicted of giving Owens the gun that murdered the teen and so, even though it doesn't fit the cop hating narrative here, yes the family knew he was a murderer.
You can charge the father, but the police should be held accountable. The cop is on record of saying he thought someone else pulled the trigger, I'd say it's fair to question his innocence.
The father, if knowingly harboring a murderer in the home with children is also guilty.
The use of flash grenades wasn't protocol according to sources. Police need to rethink their approach to finding fugitives in homes, it's dangerous for everyone involved. If you live in the hood and armed men burst in your home and flash grenades are going off, what would be your reaction?

I totally agree with all of that; just pointing out that at least some of the family is partially responsible here. I believe the police were negligent here but it isn't murder as some of the hyperbole and rhetoric suggests.
