The reason it's in the news again is that the cop who shot the 7 year old during a no knock SWAT raid was acquitted of murder and any wrongdoing in not one-but TWO trials.
Twice,a jury refused to convict this guy-he killed a sleeping 7 year old girl because he had his finger on the trigger during the entry into the home-a home that was not even the home the "suspect" lived in.
The guy they were after lived in the other half of the duplex. SWAT decided to raid both sides of the duplex-even though they only had a warrant for one side.
The two distinctly separate sides of the duplex are clearly marked by signs hanging from the front porch.
Someone needs to be held accountable for this bullshit. Police raids in the middle of the night are things that happen in third world countries-they have no place in America.
The cop is guilty as hell-and he violates multiple rules of gun safety-keep your fuckin finger OFF the trigger until you are ready to shoot-be sure of your target,and what is behind your target-do not shoot unless you can clearly see what you are shooting at. OK,the last one's more of a hunter's safety thing-but it applies-how the fuck do you shoot a 7 year old girl who is sleeping on a couch during a no knock raid? A raid in which the object is an adult male?
Officer safety & co. do not care about anything other than their own safety-too bad if kids get killed because these dickheads don't practice basic firearms safety,suck at weapons handling-officer Weeks tried claiming he "lost control" of his weapon.
There's video in the article linked to that shows the clusterfuck that this raid was.
Plus the cops handcuffed the girls father,and forced him to lay on the floor,in shards of broken glass, and...his daughter's blood-Assholes-complete,total assholes....
