The dog and the cop made the headline, the innocence man they shot? Not so much...
Man defending home from invasion. Will he see justice? Sorry, until proven otherwise, I give him innocence. Let’s see video and zero trust of police words as perjury more likely than honesty since they broke into. Someone’s home. Luckily all not dead.
"... gunfire took place."
Dollars to donuts, the home owner will be charged...
Gee, I thought the police needed probably cause to enter a home...
The police didn’t know which house it was so they just invite themselves in ?
three officers went to a house that matched that descriptionwhat... no house numbers there???
Ya know, we need more local cops and SWAT teams to come visit us here on FR.
Cuz, if they just spent a month lurking here, there’s a good chance they’d learn how important it is to double check the address before they start nosing around and shooting at a private residence.
They don’t have E911 in the area?
Astonishing.

Don't shoot my dawg and we csn talk before going George Hitcho...
Good one. How long have you been saving that? Getting in so quick like that?
A disgruntled drug informant is getting even with someone.
A "black lives matter" set up.
Poodle or pitibull, dogs are fair game to the Po-po.
I find it odd that the dispatcher did not ask the person the address. The caller just can’t say the color of the house. I wonder if the caller is a foreigner (not the band).

You try and stay under the radar and you’re not even safe in your own house.
The cop shot the dog first... Owner returned fire...
Had he not shot the dog he wouldn’t be in this mess.
Be sure to install plenty of full length mirrors in your houses. It’s also good for security to install recorders with motion detection next to those mirrors for automatic issuances of warnings against burglars. And always keep your doors locked, of course.
And with any legal luck at all, they will also cost their tax and salary paying public quite a bit by the time this goes in and through the court system and out the county's checkbook.
Be nice if the union picked up some of the legal tab, too. They're all lucky this didn't end much worse than it did, but still...why do they always have to shoot the dog?
MF g-d death cops better get the right effng house. people will defend themselves against unlawful entry. they have a higher responsibility to get thia shit right or innocent people die for their mistakes. sh1t policing.
