You picked one paragraph out of an article that was quite fair to justify your attitude.

I bet my vision of police is alot more accurate than yours.,

SO much in that article you could have picked out but you picked the only bit that fits your attitude.

If he was shot in the doorway, it seems unlikely he had much time to process what was going on around him. In fact, not only was Cruice unarmed, according to his roommates, he was wearing only basketball shorts. The roommates also dispute the police account that Cruice “advanced” on them.

He was only wearing shorts but naturally he had a concealed weapon eh?

No cops are rushing to shout him down and say he's lying so what was your point again?

they do not get involved with witness statements ie comment on them

The police official statement is very close to the eye witness who you wish to discredit.

So judging from the many, many prior incidents similar to this one, it’s probably safe to say that this officer will be cleared of any wrongdoing. It’s also probably safe to say that any investigation will determine that there’s nothing wrong with the police department’s warrant service policies. At least that’s how these investigations usually go. And if it is determined that the cops in these cases are following policy, and that there’s nothing wrong with the policies themselves, then the only conclusion we can draw is that the police agencies believe unarmed men getting shot in the face is an acceptable consequence of the effort to stop people from getting high on marijuana.

I'd agree with that so why only post the bit that supports your attitude.

This insistence on serving drug warrants by barreling into homes creates needless violence, confusion and confrontation. They’re designed to do this. I doubt that Cruice knowingly decided to take on a raiding police team armed only with his basketball shorts. It seems far more likely that he thought they were criminal intruders and was either trying to confront them, or was trying to escape. But there is no room for errors in judgment for the people on the receiving end of these raids — even though sowing confusion and disorientation are the stated aim. But it is only the suspects, the targets of the raids, who are expected to do everything right. When the police screw up and kill someone, they’re generally forgiven, owing again to the volatility of the situation."

welcome to America, have a nice day

This is critical of police procedure if anything? Saying it's a pretty messed up situation in the first place to have an armed Swat team barrelling into someone's home without warning over half a pound of mairjuana
