man what was going through their heads at that moment? "an unarmed woman has fled to her house and told us not to enter, let's just fuckin kill her"???? I don't think anything could ever justify this to be clear but what was even the thought process??? did she walk too close to her own damn window or something??

It's no excuse, but their training is measured in weeks, not years. And it mostly consists of scaring them into thinking everyone who isn't another cop is a direct and immediate threat to their lives and must be stopped with deadly force.

They are literally taught that everyone have concealed weapons and dream of killing cops.

The fact that they actively recruit right wing terrorists doesnt help either.

Sounds like they only shot 14 rounds (on video), that's like a warning shot here in dystopia.
