Earlier poster mentioned that the hostages had been released, so maybe there was some negotiation that could be done instead of a highly dangerous extraction.

There was no reason to rush in. Shoul have just waited him out rather than risk lives
I don't know if you're just making shite up or if you have a horrible source, but that's not true at all

Supposedly he walked from the CP to the bearcat to get a water and caught a stray round center mass. Can't confirm but am hearing he had taken off his vest before going for the water bottle
So you mean to tell me during a hostage situation he took off his vest and decided to grab a water mid shootout? Doesn't really add up.
A vest wouldn't stop a rifle round anyway.

I mean you are replying to the same person who made a terrible seal team comparison. His mind was made up before anything happened.

Maybe poor positioning had officers in the line of fire when shite popped off. And then poor decision making firing without a clear line, combined with poor accuracy.
If you watch enough police videos, you’d be amazed that this doesn’t happen more often. Watched body cam footage of the school shooting in STL and one of the cops flagged the back of his buddy’s head with a shotgun from about a foot away. Made my toes curl. Dude could’ve completely blown that dude’s head off.

Idiotic response. Seals have the element of surprise and most times work a mock of the structure for days. SWAT teams deal with suspects that know they are coming, where they are coming from and have time to prepare.

The reason this officer is dead is because we have incompetent, weak, and corrupt District Attorney's and Judges. This piece of shite human being should have never been a free man to begin with.

what's CP?
Posted on 8/9/24 at 1:41 pm to beauchristopher
Command Post. However that is not exactly what occurred either

I believe there were. I haven't seen anything about the friendly fire on them. Oddly enough, it looks like KADN is the only news outlet reporting this, so I was hesitant to post about, but it's out there.

No, the other SWAT officers were injured by the suspect

How does this happen? Had to be a lack of communication and/or not being on the same page. Just WOW.
Posted on 8/9/24 at 3:45 pm to REB BEER
standoff, was actually killed by "friendly fire." How the hell does this happen?

It's a requirement when becoming a police officer. You'll never convince me otherwise.

This is just dumb. The majority of swat teams go through a decent amount of training. Problem is when something goes down sometimes the training goes out the window. Obviously they don't train as much as elite military personel, but the likelihood of them mixing it up are also lower. Fight or flight is a very real thing.

Copium.

Extremely ignorant.
Lafayette I believe has a full time swat team as many larger departments do (NOPD, BRPD, etc) so they get training rather regularly. Rumors I’d heard was the bullet went through a wall and struck him but I’m not sure if that’s accurate.
Additionally, sometimes shite happens, even in elite specialized units. You can reference the recent friendly fire incident with the seals during a training exercise if you need.
It’s a tragic situation and a definite learning opportunity to evaluate and improve tactics.
More cope.

Has zero to do with friendly fire + cope.

Negative ghost rider. Read the thread and yours was the last post. It was the theme of the comments from the start that I was replying to.
