West Sacramento Ca (IFS) -Wichita Police Department releases the body camera video of officer-involved shooting. Police say the man shot was a victim of swatting. Another bad decision by police in the bible belt. Shoot first and talk later attitude by the police lead to the killing of a father watching his children. The police always justify shooting their guns, no matter what. They are quick to kill someone without getting any verification. It's just poor training and police officers that are not equipped to handle their jobs.
The officer that caused all of this chaos -- really needs to put a gun in his mouth and kill himself. In a rush to judgment, a reasonable person would have at least questioned the situation before discharging their firearms. The test before pulling the trigger would be to access the situation, which this officer did not do -- at all. What a loser in your ranks and you want your community to trust you -- not on their lives.
Deputy Wichita Police Chief Troy Livingston said Thursday night that police were looking into whether the call that led to the shooting was a case of swatting.

Deputy Wichita Police Chief Troy Livingston said Thursday night that police were looking into whether the call that led to the shooting was a case of swatting.
Livingston said the department received a call that someone had an argument with their mother, that the father had been shot in the head and the shooter was holding his mother, brother and sister hostage.
“That was the information we were working off of,” he said.
Officers went to the 1000 block of McCormick, preparing for a hostage situation and they “got into position,” he said.
“A male came to the front door,” Livingston said. “As he came to the front door, one of our officers discharged his weapon.”
Livingston didn’t say if the man, who was 28, had a weapon when he came to the door, or what caused the officer to shoot the man. Police don’t think the man fired at officers, but the incident is still under investigation, he said. The man, who has not been identified by police, died at a local hospital.
A family member identified that man who was shot by police as Andrew Finch. One of Finch’s cousins said Finch didn’t play video games.
“This call was little peculiar for us,” Livingston said. “(The call) went to a substation first, then it was relayed to dispatch, then dispatch gave it to us. We have a lot of information to go through.”
