WHO WAS AT FAULT?

I am responding to the settlement in the accidental shooting death of
Alberto Sepulveda. Indeed his death is a horrible and awful thing. Let us
also remember that his father's actions may have played a huge part in
this. The authorities' belief that he was involved in drug trafficking was
the reason for the raid to begin with.

Do we need to change the policies and procedures? Let us not lose sight of
the fact that officers risk their lives every day and this was a terrible
and tragic thing, but even more tragic was that the father's poor decisions
and practices may have contributed to the accident.
