> How does a trained officer hear that two children are in the house and not immediately de-escalate?

Unfortunately the police shoot kids fairly routinely, as lawyer Greg Doucette shows in this twitter thread.

After reading through the linked thread I'm taken aback by the sheer number of deaths that don't seem to get any kind of coverage in the national press (and that's only for people accidentally shot as the police were trying to kill their pet).

Considering the sheer number of killings, this can and really should be reported in much a similar way to a protracted war, as it does look very much to be an extended attack upon civilians by an armed forces of sorts.
