The training works!
DUMBASSES
It was Fort Worth. They probably thought he was a cow.
Did he growl at them or bare his teeth? Maybe he leaned toward them. Maybe he was holding a hammer in his garage when the cops broke in and charged toward him. You just never know.

It was previously stated, but I will repeat. This type of incident is happening more often and we must find a way to avoid this type of tragedy.
Motion detector-triggered lights around your house, including under-eaves lighting. Tie it into an alarm inside the house; not a siren, just an alert that someone is outside. Maybe add in cameras that begin recording once the lights go on.
Half the reason these idiots get away with this kind of thing is that they’re able to get into the house before anyone is ready. I realize that such is their intent, but they can’t avoid everything. Get them lit up and exposed, IOW completely remove the element of surprise, and they will have a harder time following the rest of the scenario.
Sounds like the dead guy’s widow needs to be fined for not having better lighting....
The training works!
Due to poor lighting conditions, and officers attempting to arrive on the scene undetected,”
That poor man’s family, friends and neighbors. : (
We would go to jail for killing the wrong guy at a crime scene. The excuse of “I could not see who I was shooting” probably would not go over real big.
Grandpa was probably shot while shielding his dog.
Why am I reading so many stories of police getting the address wrong before going in all gung-ho?
Is it really that hard to get a simple address right? I mean, really?
I am armed when I do it, looks like a thug/thief is not my only concern in the times we live in.
And as another poster said, this didn't happen a decade ago.
cops need to be fired, lose pensions and go to jail for this increasingly bullsh1t behavior.
itisgetting so thatyouhad better be ready to defendyourself from any cop approaching you.
C’mon. Where are they? Where’s the holster-sniffers to explain this away, how the cops were “just doing their jobs” and “it was most important for these two public employees to go home at the end of their shift?”
OMG!!! The Police shot an elderly WALKER!!!
Obviously, the man should have had a dog. Then the Barney Fife guys would have shot the dog and alerted the homeowner to their presence.
These cops said he pointed the gun at them. They always say that! They will probably be promoted now. /s
Shooting an old man's corpse for target practice?
Thank God he was already dead.
As a citizen who was not speaking Spanish, or from Iran
or Mexico illegally, HE HAD NO RIGHT TO LIVE.
If grandfather was dead, why did they shoot him?
