I saw that. There are so many disturbing videos of just downright indefensible behavior by officers these days. I saw some pretty dumb stuff back in my cop days but nothing that even remotely approached what we're seeing today. I just watched a video (also from Houston) of two female PD officers mag dump into an apartment where there was no crime. It was on Donut Operator's YT channel.

2 female officers on scene for unrelated call. They're approached and told there's a broken window at another apartment and possibly a burglary there. They go to apt and see broken window. They knock on the door, announce and back off a bit. One sees a female walking to the door with a handgun. Both officers mag dump into the apartment just at the sight of the gun. Not just one mag, either. One of the officers nearly (or does) empties all 3 magazines into the apartment. Lady inside is alone and is struck numerous times but survives. She was staying in the apartment, that belonged to her friend (who wasn't there), and forgot or lost her keys. She broke the window to get inside. Presumably had the gun for protection (because Houston) and couldn't/didn't see who was at the door.

This is exactly the type of law enforcement I told people they were gonna get over 25 years ago when this leftist shit started creeping into the profession. Now they have it. Unfortunately, we have it, too. Defund, wokeism, war on police in general...I don't blame anyone for not wanting to go into the career. Last LE job I had in a metro-Denver department had 5 openings when I applied in 1997 and had over 800 applicants. Now some departments have many hundreds of openings and just a handful of applicants.
