Sad, and nothing will happen to those two cops or their supervisor.

[Third Person]

To serve and protect.

[cardinal4]

At some point the judges who issue these warrants need to be held responsible as well..

[Altariel]

Just another isolated incident.

[Altariel]

Rather symbolic--the government employees murdered John Adams.

[randog]

Police admitted their mistake, saying faulty information from a drug informant contributed to the death of John Adams Wednesday night.

So the informant said, "That mofo need to die!", or something to that effect?

[AppyPappy]

Oh snap.

[Dallas59]

The “they might be terrorists” thrill is still in the air.

[James C. Bennett]

This is merely a desensitisation exercise.

[sagar]

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

[353FMG]

That’s one way of getting rid of unwanted citizens.

Just say: Oops, we made a mistake. So sorry.

[Secret Agent Man]

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.

[microgood]

These no-knock SWAT raids need to stop. These are dark times in America.

[Wanderer99]

Murder an innocent man and be placed on administrative leave with pay?!

There is truly no hope. The end has begun.

[freedomfiter2]

The cops had no warrant to enter this home. What they did is a crime. His shooting was a murder not mistake.

[wesagain]

Sad end to a decent man’s life.

[sbark]

So no one, in planning the “raid”-—put up pictures of the perps?........so the young inexpeirienced cops could see the diff between the 70 yr old man and a couple of 20 something drug gang bangers.

[G Larry]

“faulty information from a drug informant”

How about “criminal negligence” by law enforcement for not having a process to validate tips from “drug informants”????

[JZoback]

How can these donut eaters not realize the house they invaded was the wrong house.... How many elderly people are drug dealers...(I assume it was a drug warrant)

No knock warrants need some serious reform and a much higher standard to have one issued...

How difficult would it be for a plain clothed cop to knock on the door during the day and see who answers....
