Quoted: If I'm the leasing manager, I'm not calling the cops with that bullshit. The idiot who called me can call the cops themselves if they really care. If I'm the dispatcher, "we've got a probable bullshit call, can you take a walk around and see if anything's going on there?" If I'm the cops, walk, listen, "call cleared, no crime detected". View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: You're assuming they didn't do any of this. It mentions 4th party. I'm assuming the lease manager got a call from a most likely unidentified neighbor to the suspected dispute. Leasing manager says I don't know anything else, person didn't give me more information and I don't know who they are. If I'm the leasing manager, I'm not calling the cops with that bullshit. The idiot who called me can call the cops themselves if they really care. If I'm the dispatcher, "we've got a probable bullshit call, can you take a walk around and see if anything's going on there?" If I'm the cops, walk, listen, "call cleared, no crime detected". And if you walk and listen and hear screaming inside of an apt? ETA And this is obviously all hypothetical since we don't know any details. I'd love to see body cam in this one. The accusation that the police made entry themselves makes it appear as if they were relying on exigent circumstances. |

Damn.
Sounds like they were more a death squard than anything. |

Local radio news said he was shot to death while on a conference call, police hit wrong address.
Does not matter black or white when the cops kill you from negligence. Crump is a bottom feeder but sounds like the cops screwed the pooch. |
|

Woof!
That's a BIG fuckup. Wonder when policy starts to change due to people getting killed who really didn't need to be? Surely there's some middle ground between not responding and making sure the appropriate level of response is what occurs? |

I don't really see them identifying themselves or not as the or even a major issue if they entered the wrong apartment.
There have been several examples of criminals identifying themselves as cops prior to/during a home invasion. |

Quoted: Local radio news said he was shot to death while on a conference call, police hit wrong address. View Quote I'm getting the impression that nobody ever figured out what the right apartment was, so we have no idea if it was the right address. But if there's more than two apartments, chances are it's the wrong address if there's no evidence it was the right address. |

GD has become so reflexively anti-LE that it just takes all of Ben Crump's word as gospel?
|
|
Quoted: I know GD won't like it, but it mentions he was on a video chat. Was he on the phone with someone and they were screaming at each other which included threats and it was perceived by the officers that there were two people inside of the apartment and they believed that someone was in danger? They make entry, gun vs gun, and shots fired. My hesitation is crump coupled with an "I can't breathe." Go ahead, pile on me. View Quote What if it was a movie? What if you did that at a neighbor's house? Police can't just kick a door down and shoot a man, because. I mean, we will see. Maybe they can. |

If they knocked, resident asked who's there, and they failed at that point to ID and then kicked the door in, it would be easy to surmise that the resident believed his home was being invaded and armed himself. VS knock, resident ask who's there, cops answer "police checking on a call", he's less likely to answer the door armed |

A very famous race-baiting attorney who became famous by race-baiting. Black person harmed ALWAYS equals injustice to him. Well known liar.

The witness statement is coming from Benjamin Crump.
The same attorney who pushed the witness lies of "hands up, don't shoot" for the shitstain michael brown in Ferguson missouri, and also was the representative for Trayvon Martin's family and all their lies and bullshit. I'm not saying the cops DIDN'T accidentally kill an innocent person in their home. But i am saying that if Ben Crump told me what time it was, i'd still check my watch because he a notorious race baiting huckster, and liar. All that said, if the police DIDN'T fuck this up, they are fools to not get the exculpatory body cam footage out ASAP. |

Quoted: Of course there are calls without complete information going out daily, but there is also a due diligence to obtain the most applicable information as possible before putting it out. The dispatcher had the leasing manager ON THE PHONE. If she isn't able to determine first floor, second floor, third floor, or other basic details of the apartments she rents, and the renters she has on the leases, the dispatcher needs to obtain a different profession. The cop could have spoken with the leasing manager on-scene before walking aimlessly into the complex. There are a literal shit-ton of mitigating actions both the dispatcher and the responding officer could have taken but it appears they did not.

Cops killing service members?
Better be glad they didn't roll up on a 7th group SF guy or one of the RIs down there. Those guys take revenge pretty seriously, I would not want to be on their list. |
|
Quoted: So - victim was on a video conference @430pm. Knock on the door. "Who is it?" without a response. Victim arms himself. Cops make entry and victim gets drilled. According to the article, they didn't identify as LEO. Based on a disturbance call, they made entry without a warrant. Fuck that cop and RIP airman. View Quote Dude probably had his headphones on and as soon as the door was breached grabbed his gun. |

Quoted: It doesn't appear to be as simple as that. From the article, it sounds as there wasn't an apt# provided. They actually state in the article, "Don't have anything further than a male and female; it's all fourth party information from the front desk at the leasing office," If that is the case, then why the fuck is dispatch putting it out before having the information??? The dispatcher has just as much culpability as the dipshit officer who didn't respond when the Airman asked "who is it", after the officer knocked on the door. I didn't see if the officer busted into the apartment or if the airman opened the door. The system is failed at multiple levels, but the moral decay is the underlying reason for stupid shit like this. The dispatcher shouldn't have put it out without more information, or at least an apartment number. The cop shouldn't have played super-secret agent/swat by not announcing himself as law enforcement after knocking on the door. The airman shouldn't have opened the door (if he did) if someone knocks and doesn't announce themself. What a waste, and if the cop did fuck up, I hope they fry his ass in the chair, but I know that most likely won't happen. View Quote If they knew him they could contact the base and pick him up without incident (btdt). Show up at the home with the COC after calling him and they take him in peacefuly.

If there isn't any clear info after 2 days about what happened then I think it is safe to assume Club Acorn has a real serious problem.

We should focus on all the calls where cops didn't kill anyone without a reason.

There has yet to be a police shooting where Crump got involved that he did not completely re-invent the situation to spin a good yarn.
At this point, I assume he just invents a story that he hopes can't be disproven with evidence, or that he hopes get enough public traction that the evidence ceases to matter. Bullshit always moves faster than accuracy. It takes time for a local government to respond to accusations when and if it is interested in gathering accurate information about its own actions. It takes very little time to just make shit up. |

Quoted: You know the guy or something? You're kind of off the rails which is unusual for how you normally post View Quote No doubt probably with headphones on and then armed dude bust in the house. My Glock would be at my desk and my first instinct would to grab my Glock. The above could be all wrong, but thus far it's getting to be the case. No doubt my son would be in the same scenario. Lets say all the MSM stories are true and they busted in the wrong apartment and this was one of our kids? I guess that scenario has me fired up, as a former Eglin AFB guy even more. Its sad a Service member can't even sit safe in his home in the afternoon. This will ripple across the Eglin community quick. |
