Quoted: Brought to you by the GOP & Bush who pushed for NSA spying on citizens, overreach by DHS for and many other three letter agencies for "terrorism" to be handed over on a gold platter to Obama/Dems, programs prevented from being sunsetted by Ted Cruz and conservatives after even Obama weaponized the IRS against the Tea Party because muh securitah!, and even reauthorized by Trump in an omnibus bill after being spied on as a candidate. Ron Paul was right! And only someone of his caliber will fix it. View Quote Don’t forget Bill Clinton’s new 100,000 police. |

Quoted: I’m going to suggest it has more to do with poor training and the idiots in charge of the ROE than an abundance of bad officers. Sure..there are shitbag, JBT’s with badges but when an entire squad/group of officers all conduct themselves in the same manner. Time after time..it’s training. View Quote You're not wrong. Just like Hitlers SS weren't necessarily born bad people, it was the training. Unfortunately the people in charge are getting the results they've been after. This is intentional and only going to get worse. |

Yes. Although the US has been a police state for a long fucking time now.

Quoted: Someone clever and well financed needs to ask the Supreme Court to revisit reconsider the ruling which created qualified immunity. That whole "if it hasn't already happened it doesn't count" opinion (oversimplified, I know) needs a fresh set of aging, Supreme Court Justice eyes on it. View Quote Since no previous court in your jurisdiction has had to say it's wrong to kneecap the innocent 10 year old you have proned out in his own yard, we'll take this opportunity to tell you it's wrong, while granting you immunity for your wrongdoing. - Yep, that's what the Supreme Court meant for the 11th Circuit to do when they passed Qualified Immunity legislation and signed it into law with no help from Congress or the President. |

Quoted: What reasonable man opens his door to armed men in the middle of the night? What reasonable person opens his door to anyone knocking in the middle of the night? Do what you want, but it could be a scared woman knocking with 3-4 guys hiding out of sight with guns ready to kill you as soon as that door gets unlocked. I would at least attempt to see who is outside first. Even with a gun, standing in an open doorway is terrible tactics. View Quote ^^^^ Night or day I do not answer the door. I am pro LEO, no apology for that but I know full well LE will not be at my door for a legitimate reason and anyone claiming to be LE is/are an impostor(s) If I suspect an error I will suggest they call me and step back. If they do not have my number they are not LE, if they are they will prefer to be sure and cal me and of course realize they are at the wrong address and everyone will be safe. At no time will I be in a vulnerable position nor will I be unarmed (but also not visible to those at the door) I feel I must protect LE if they are making a mistake and not look for an excuse to overstep. |

Quoted: Careful now, naming names like that can get you a paddlin from mods if they're feeling liberal with their CoC interpretation View Quote You should edit his quote in case he decides to. This entire thread is pure mod bait. I had/have a good response to a certain post, but I know better. |

Quoted: Quoted: I'm a cop and I know better than to answer the door with an exposed firearm. Why? Because of situations like this? Could be this situation, could be the neighbor looking for their lost cat. I might have gun on the steps or on the chair beside the door. But I'm not really seeing a reason to answer the door with a gun in my hand. If feel the need to do that, I'm either not answering the door or I'm going to get into kit and wait for them to come inside. |

Lots of talk of "answering the door in a criminal manner" , "holding" a gun , "pointing" a gun etc
All despite the Police not actually detailing HOW the homeowner was in possession of a firearm. It could be any of the above. It could also be a holstered gun. It could be a gun propped in the corner behind him. There are lots off ways to possess a gun including not even touching it. Yet - lots of blame for the occupant without knowing the details. |

It has a glass part about 4 foot by 3 foot. |

Quoted: I've gone to wrong addresses at various times of the day. It could be dispatched wrong, poorly marked etc... View Quote Well in this case we can rule out the dispatched wrong or poorly marked. That kind of narrows the etc's down. I would have thought rolling up, a bit amped up for a DV call would have a bit of a back up procedure involved. |

Obviously, the homeowner should have called the police and reported armed men trying to break into his house.
Since dispatch had no record of anyone going to his address, they would have figured it was someone impersonating police and dispatched a second car. Then, when the lost cops get rolled up on by the new cops, they can shoot it out with each other while the homeowner sits safely inside his house. Modern problems require Modern solutions. ![]() |

Quoted: Quoted: I'm a cop and I know better than to answer the door with an exposed firearm. Why? Because of situations like this? That's right. Don't go to your door with a gun because government employees will shoot you dead for exercising your rights. Just like the lady who got shot through her window who wasn't at the door. The agents of the state and their apologists will never accept fault or failure. Look at the excuse making for Afghanistan that happened a few weeks ago. It's unreal. |

As a serious question, how is it becoming/ has been so common for police to respond to a wrong address?
Seems like glaring stupidity that we should demand to be unacceptable under any circumstance. I don’t support the idea of a federal police force, but it does seem like standards need to be raised across the board. |

Here’s some more gas for the fire. If you think it’s dangerous enough you need a gun in your hand it’s too dangerous to open the door. If you think it’s safe enough to open the door you don’t need a gun in your hand.

Everyone should have a gun. You just might not need it. Words mean things. I sleep naked. And I dont wear a holster when naked. What if the only gun the householder has is a shotgun or rifle ? It IS possible to look at a "civilian" holding a gun and decide he is NOT a threat. In fact a few replies actually described times they answered the door to police holding guns. And did not get shot. It is a fact that a small minority of police over react ( not just to seeing a gun ) I would not be in the least bit surprised if the bodycam showed the police over reacting to a gun possessed in a non threatening manner. |
