Don't know about constantly but we certainly do hear about it when it happens. That said, there should be complete surveilance to ascertain the address is correct before making their move. And btw, it was a duplex just FYI
The article does not state whether there is more than one bedroom - all we can do is surmise. I found the headline and the report to be too incomplete and misleading to make an IMO judgement. Again, guessing...they probably did identify themselves at front door, the man may have been sleeping with tv on, and didn't hear. When no answer.....well.
But I don't think the "cop got what he deserved" as you say. Perhaps you meant the system.
At any rate this "news" story is two years old.
It is a shame that this disregard for the law of the land has resulted in two lives ruined, one gone, and one about to go.
I agree there isn't enough evidence to go on in this article but I do believe that the guy thought he was being broken in on by criminals, due to his not having a criminal record and by the fact he quit firing after 3 shots and slid his gun away. He had no reason to shoot at cops, no drugs or other illegal contraband in the house, why would he shoot it out with the cops especially with his baby lying there in danger?
