Like I said to FD, if that was not your attention, I apologize, but you're taking a very nonchalant approach to the killing of a 7 year old. The "he has to live with it excuse" is pretty horrendous, IMO.

As to your other points, in later posts. Yes, the raid procedure should be re-evaluated, probably eliminated, IMO.

Yes, the guy gave the police a reason to raid his home, however, the raid was poorly executed. IMO, the blame falls on the officers who raided that home, so I can't say there's plenty of blame to go around.

Look, a 7 year old died. That's F'ing horrible. Not denying that at all. The whole thing was a cluster F. My only point is we shouldn't be so quick to pile on the cops especially without knowing all the facts.

For the cop who killed the kid, it's not an excuse, just saying he's gotta live with that. It's F'ing terrible all around.
