So we await the findings from the Republican Attorney General on charges regarding the killing of a US civilian by law officers who fucked up, wait no... who "choked" when executing a no-knock narcotics warrant.
Luckily, thanks to being in the 21st century, there is no body cam footage of the events to help to provide possibly definitive evidence to support the claims of the officers.
The police... well, they are going to support the police.
No drugs were found at the apartment and questions about packages being received there were already addressed. It seems like waiting to check a package being sent to her place for Glover could have resolved whether drugs were going to that apartment.
It is a tough job, and the situation likely was intense, but without an actual mechanism to hold officers responsible for poor decisions within the existing systems of internal Police oversight and the criminal justice system, the issue of justice will never seem to be fulfilled. And we await a bunch of frustration to be exerted as no one in the apartment had drug related issues or charges, but a high risk no-knock warrant was given anyway, and that created the chaos necessary to get people shot and/or killed. There seems to be so much wrong with this case that I can understand the frustration of people who might act as if they perceive their lives simply don't matter to change any of it.

The police? Well, they are definitely benefiting from lying if things went down poorly. And the trouble is, we have no mechanisms to be able to trust anyone in this case. The Police don't police the Police. And generally, police officers have to act so egregiously wrongly in the field to ever get fired (and rarely held accountible).article said:"This man violently attacked our officers, and was charged with attempted murder after shooting a sergeant!" The union wrote in a Facebook post March 27, two weeks after the incident. "Not only is he a threat to the men and women of law enforcement, but he also poses a significant danger to the community we protect!"
