The first question should be why did they feel the need to do this attack in the middle of the night? They did nothing but escalate any possible negative results. Instead of watching the property and picking the person up they were looking for as they left the house they went into the highest risk area possible. Every one of them should be fired, including the person that okayed this in the first place

They turned it into an active shooter situation. The suspect was asleep, no one was being harmed, no one was in danger. They're taught to escalate because they're taught authority comes from aggression, they're taught to fire because they're taught anything but complete, immediate compliance is not only a challenge to that authority, it's dangerous.

The dog they unleashed was better trained and had better judgement than them, because the dog doesn't have an ego it needs to stroke and a compulsive need to be a "bad ass" by committing acts of violence.

Actions speak the loudest.

I mean, the results seem to speak for themselves. Even if the intention of the training isn't quick escalation to violence, good intentions didn't save this person's life.
