“BTW, this incident, like many others of its kind before it, give credence to the BLM lies about “hands up don’t shoot””
It was midnight and the man heard violent knocking at his front door?
Yes, his dog was alarmed as was the homeowner.
Last time that happened to me, I went out the back door and flanked the door banger. And "yes", I was armed. Turned out not to be a criminal (either private-sector or government) ... but it gave me an edge.
people in that neighborhood might need to keep a big dog for a reason?
Where I live I would go to the door with a firearm in hand. If I saw blue lights, police cars and established they were indeed police officers I would make contact without my weapon in hand.
The officers getting the wrong address is inexcusable with E911, google, county records. I don’t know all the circumstances but from the article the city will payout big time in civil court and the officer in charge and the officer who pulled the trigger should at a minimum be charged with manslaughter.
