So say the sans-body camera cops.

“If the first action is the shooting of your dog, you know darn well that they are cops.”

In which case my first action is to kill every single one of them.

“The Texas Rangers should be investigating this, not the HPD!”

QFT! Too much smoke here...

“They did.”

It’s called “tunnel vision”. Look into it.

We used to call this Premeditated First Degree Murder with Special Circumstances and the thugs in magic blue costumes would be waiting for the Hangman or Needle.

"Narcotics officers executing search warrants "don't show up in uniform," Acevedo said, "but they do show up with plenty of gear that identifies them as police officers, including patrol officers that are out in front of the house."

That's is a totally unacceptable policy. If they show up not in uniform they MUST get a response from the occupants and allow them a chance to see they are police and give them the opportunity to surrender peacefully. If the police just smash in a door and come in with a firearm and not in uniform then the castle doctrine applies. WTF is going on in this state?

And his answer verifies the fact we all already knew. These people had no idea it was the police coming through their door. These people were defending themselves and their home. They were murdered. Castle doctrine should apply here 100 percent.

Who ever was in charge of this raid needs to be charged with multiple counts of manslaughter.

"“And the instant the door is smashed in, those cars should have to turn on their lights and sirens.” They did."

Get out of here. The police can't smash in a door then turn on their lights and say they properly identified themselves. This will only end up killing more innocent people and cops both.

This is the United States of America for gods sake. Cops should NEVER be smashing down doors unless there is a hostage and it's life or death.

Should have let Vic Macky and his team handle it.

Neighbors thought these were the shady characters in the neighborhood.

Maybe "a" neighbor. Neighbors (plural)said they were quiet, normal folks. But you make a habit of being on the wrong side of things when it comes to police misconduct.

It is too late by then. At that point the gunfight is on. I doubt anybody in that house could have heard a siren outside after a 12 gauge shotgun round or two and a volley of .357 magnum rounds.

Right. At that point loud sirens and flashing lights just add to the surreal scene that unknown people just broke down your door to kill you.

“Suburban Ruby Ridge..”

This wasn’t the suburbs. It was in the east end section of the city, a drug infested area for over 30 years

Most informers are convicted drug and violent criminals looking to reduce their sentence. Impeccable witnesses.

This isn’t the first time the Houston police have executed someone or created a complete fiasco through their corruption and incompetence.

Many years ago I was introduced to a Houston cop at a wedding. It took less than a minute of conversation for him to start telling me about all the people he had killed.
