wtf. I know its a tough job fighting crime but come on lets get if fargin right. I often wonder about crap like this happening locally. #1 i always look out the window, and the dog going ballistic always helps when answering the door. BUT IN MY OPINION THIS IS JUST WRONG, WRONG HOUSE WRONG GUY ... http://news.yahoo.co...-163819466.html

This is bad. :-(

I cannot believe the cops didn't announce themselves! There has to be a lot more to the story. Did they just knock on the door and wait for someone to answer? Did they knock the door in? It seems that the cops like to knock the doors in and then go in screaming that they are the cops. Seems weird that the guy opens the door pointing a gun at the person knocking. The biggest problem is the cops not knowing they are at the wrong house, I cannot believe they were that stupid!! Clean out the higher ups who planned this raid. I would love to know how this house was picked, did they have the wrong place to begin with or was the wrong choice made onsite. The cop that did the shooting should of never been put in this situation, its hard enough to shoot a bad guy, it must be terribly difficult to live with shooting the wrong guy at the wrong house. If someone points a gun at me and I think they are gonna shoot me and I have one to shoot back with I am gonna shoot. So many things went wrong this whole situation sucks for so all involved! The guy who said this is the place has got to be feeling it today! I just hope they have an independent person research this so the people that need to be charged really get charged

gotta be more to the story.

 

 

also, looks like bullet holes in the front door.

WTF? Why would you answer the door while pointing your rifle?

I don't care if the deputy did not announce his presense as a LEO. Didn't he ever play knock knock as a kid? You fricken ask "who's there" before you answer the door. And the door had a peephole.

Its sad. what happen to that guy in waretown last year. The guy got shot by the cops when he answered the door with his gun.

To protect and serve. A+ police work

This just reiterates the point that you GOTTA THINK when you have a gun in your hand, whether you are a mall ninja deputy that wants to go home to your kids or a groggy home owner or renter that wanted to see the sun rise.

 

That said, the police and their training should have averted this because they are trained professionals and with their deadly force, there is no room for mistakes. They should have been aware that when they make armed calls at night like that that an uncertain citizen on the other side of the door could be unnecessarily harmed.

 

Every time something like this happens, I just want to figuratively kick the real bad guys and pound them just a little more. I want them to suffer for putting the citizen and the peace officers in these positions.

 

I'm sure its illegal in this fine state, but if I have to answer the door at night body armor might be a good idea.
