When you are incapable of reading an address properly and go to the wrong house and execute an innocent man for answering his door, you belong in PRISON FOR LIFE

Head to the Courthouse and file criminal charges on your own. Yes, you can do that. No need to wait for some BS “investigation” where the cops investigate the cops and the declare they did nothing wrong.

Swear out Manslaughter complaints and demand warrants be served.

“The rope that tied everybody together”. Sounds like little Debbie could use a few more years of journalism school. Crappy metaphor. Jussie Mullett would be shakin’ in his boots just reading that sentence.

Officers shoot, kill wrong man....

It’s been a week. Have they shot the right guy?

We gave up on ‘answering the door’ to strangers - nothing good comes from it. If they say they’re cops, then it’s a tougher call, but if you do open the door, you better not have a gun in your hand. Best option is to have a camera that can see who’s out there and one that can see the street, to look for their car. And yes, I realize that not everyone who’s honest goes that far, heck I don’t even go that far, and I’m a Russian troll (hard to get more dishonest than that).

As to the cops screwing up - cops are human, it’s going to happen. Punishing them is fine, but it won’t do this guy any good.

I haven’t seen any explanation as to why he answered the door with a gun in his hand. Anyone?

Shanice Gonzales, spokesperson for FPD, said that the original domestic violence call was investigated and “everybody is OK.”

Well I hope they’re happy.

Because he has a right to do so! Why even ask that question?

I often answer my door, especially if it is at night, with GUN-IN-HAND.

I believe I read the police showed up around 1 or 2 AM, but this article doesn't mention when they knocked on the door.

Well, OF COURSE, they are all "ok".

After seeing what the cops will do to an innocent man, they dang sure don't want to run afoul of those cops!

whats amazing is that poor guy in Texas was convicted for shooting a BLM protester who was aiming an ak47 at his face!

And yet police kill people all the time who simply are holding a gun.

I don’t accept the “wrong house” excuse. The cop who shot the man killed him. The killing was unjustified. It’s not involuntary.

An apology is not what’s needed.

Actually the second reticle says first call was around 11:30 but another one at 2:51 am which I am guess was the one where the shooting happened since there were so many cops there after the shooting that it is unlikely that the second domestic call would have been placed if they were already there.

> I don’t accept the “wrong house” excuse. <

I totally agree. It’s actually immaterial whether it was the right house or the wrong house. A guy answers his own front door with gun in hand. He’s not screaming threats. He doesn’t point the gun. He doesn’t fire the gun. He gets shot to death anyway.

That’s all that matters.
