From the article:

In the case where a citizen mistakenly (and allegedly) shot through his door at a raiding police officer, the citizen is facing a murder charge; in the case where a raiding police officer mistakenly shot through a door and killed a citizen, there were no criminal charges.

Of course they are refering to Peyton Strickland, murdered by a sheriff's deputy who fired through Peyton's front door and into his home. Also from the article:

The raid in Chesapeake bears a striking resemblance to another that ended in a fatality. Last week, New Hanover County, N.C., agreed to pay $4.25 million to the parents of college student Peyton Strickland, who was killed when a deputy participating in a raid mistook the sound of a SWAT battering ram for a gunshot, and fired through the door as Strickland came to answer it.

I'm here to tell you, as a lifetime active shooter, THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL DEPUTY LONG "MISTOOK" THE SOUNDS OF A BATTERING RAM RIGHT NEXT TO HIM FOR GUNSHOTS COMING FROM WITHIN THE HOUSE. I cannot believe his lie has been perpetuated and has now become "the truth". Just a "mistake" my lilly white ass, but I digress...

So now the tables are turned and we have, quite tragically, a dead cop. Now we get to see how the legal system differentiates between its own, and just us common citizens. You know, the ones they are all sworn "to serve and protect". They will go after Frederick with everything they have. They yawned and said "oops" when it was Long.
