It's difficult for me to blame the LEO in these situations. They are following their training which if they don't do puts them in legal jeopardy.

If your training teaches you to murder civilians in their homes and your first thought isn’t “ehhh, probably shouldn’t do that” maybe you shouldn’t be a police officer in the first place.

But considering this is the same department that had an officer unloading all his mags into a car with a handcuffed suspect because a squirrel dropped an acorn in his general vicinity, asking what the frick is going on with the training standards probably isn’t a bad idea.
