Unfortunately, it was a home invasion.

What ever happened to knocking on the door and showing your search warrant?

RAIDS GONE BAD:

[RitchieAprile]

cops in urban CA have always struck me as contemptuous of
‘civilians’ and who spit on their rights, and who go ‘heavy’ whenever possible. Far cry from places like TX where citizens can and do carry...

Sheesh...You call that a raid? Not one dog was shot. /s

[Mr.Unique]

The Fullerton PD needs to be disbanded. Everything they do is suspect, and that provides a great opportunity for criminals. Bring in the County Sheriff.

[SaraJohnson]

Did he say anything about the “accidental” police beating death - murder - of the homeless guy?

Otherwise, I don’t want to hear from him until he abandons covering up for murderous thugs with police badages.

The dead guy’s dad is a retired sheriff. So he knows a thing or two about homey Union cops.

If one or more Nordells had been shot there would have been NO apology and Nordells would be facing felony charges of some sort which would probably be eventually dropped but there would be declarations from the Department and probably the mayor that the police had acted properly and were to be commended. The officers who did the shooting would be rewarded with extra vacations.

It took this clown a year to apologize. It was, of course, immediately obvious to everyone they'd made a mistake, but you've gotta justify all that money paid out to the lawyers somehow, I suppose. So they spend a godd****d year denying and stonewalling before they're finally advised to apologize.

We've given the cops too much power; and the war on drugs still ain't working. Just legalize the crap. I know, I know. A chunk of the population will destroy themselves on it. Well, tough. They already are.

At least the rest of us wouldn't have to put up with this Barbra Streisand.

On Oct. 20, 2010, detectives entered the home of Chuck and Robyn Nordell, in the 200 block of Ventura Place. The suspect who police were looking for was actually in the house next door.

It only took them a whole year to apologize. Gee, what a coordial public servant.

“Oops, our bad, carry on” — Fullerton PD

[Sloth]

"This is a very rare circumstance," the acting chief said of the mistake.

"Usually we would have, at the very least, shot their dog."

[magslinger]

Hamilton, a captain filling in for the chief, who is on medical leave, also outlined during the City Council meeting several policy changes resulting from the incident.

Does that include felony charges against any officer unlawfully entering a house? If not, shut your jackbooted trap!
