A 61-year-old man was shot to death by
police while his wife was handcuffed in another room during a drug
raid on the wrong house.
Police admitted their mistake, saying faulty information from a drug informant contributed to the death of John Adams Wednesday night. They intended to raid the home next door.
The two officers, 25-year-old Kyle Shedran and 24-year-old Greg Day, were placed on administrative leave with pay.
“They need to get rid of those men, boys with toys,” said Adams’ 70-year-old widow, Loraine.
John Adams was watching television when his wife heard pounding on the door. Police claim they identified themselves and wore police jackets. Loraine Adams said she had no indication the men were police.
“I thought it was a home invasion. I said ‘Baby, get your gun!,” she said, sitting amid friends and relatives gathered at her home to cook and prepare for Sunday’s funeral.

Sad, and nothing will happen to those two cops or their supervisor.
To serve and protect.
At some point the judges who issue these warrants need to be held responsible as well..
Just another isolated incident.
But they have snappy uniforms.

And if you have a problem with this then you are a cop hater.
how far have we fallen
So the informant said, "That mofo need to die!", or something to that effect?
Oh snap.
“...said the shooting will be “a major setback” for police relations with the black community. “
Uhhh...I’d say that’s the understatement of the year.
I suspect it isn’t going to do a lot of good with the white community, either - as though you actually care, you ass.
But on the good news front, no animals were shot and/or killed.
G. Gordon Liddy was right!!!
The “they might be terrorists” thrill is still in the air.
“But they have snappy uniforms.”
Uniforms have pants so you don’t want a uniform.
The hussein-Holder crew's creed is: to subjugate and menace.
This is merely a desensitisation exercise.

Be patriots and support the men who had to go door to door busting the drug dealers. A few mistakes will not undo great work that has been going on. Freedom! /sarc
That’s one way of getting rid of unwanted citizens.
Just say: Oops, we made a mistake. So sorry.
we need to at the local level get rid of all swat and get rid of no-knock raids. i would also through your lawyers send the police department andcity attorney a legal letterstating that any leos performing a no-knock entry on your house will be considered a home invasion and the occupants will use self defense to protect themselves, andthat thepremises arevideo recorded and the video will be preserved to the internet as evidence.

This is a hideous crime by the police and I’d love to know the outcome of this 6-1/4 year old case.
