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.
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.
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.
Moving forward, for those of us still alive ...
How do we give legal notice to local PD, local sheriff, etc
Notice that they are not welcome on our property and that the property owner is armed and LEO cannot bring firearms onto my property. Do not expect to knock or no-knock on my property after dark with receiving priority verbal permission on the phone or text.
etc etc
There must be a legal workaround for patriots to avoid this ‘accidentally’ being shot and killed crap we observe here.
“answered the door with a firearm in hand”
Not enough information. Was he POINTING the gun? or just holding it at his side?
YUGE difference.
“Police said Dotson’s wife then fired a handgun from the door. Officers returned fire, and she put the gun down and complied with officers’ commands.””
Was this a “gun happy couple?
OR
Did this neighborhood warrant such actions?
This story is a POS. Urinalists!
Jesse jackson/al sharpton didn’t swoop down on the town. There was no riot, no looting. No one tried to burn the police station down. So I can safely conclude that Robert Dotson was White, and that his life didn’t matter.
Many homeowners fail to post their address clearly on the house/ mailbox/ driveway.
People need to understand that first responders—cops, firemen, paramedics— need to find the correct address quickly.
Regardless whether the address was or wasn’t visible, the first duty of cops is always to determine where the threat is located.
The Defund crowd wants cops to have even less training, which virtually guarantees more of these incidents will occur.
“I’m extremely sorry that we are in this position...”
Well that’s comforting but how about hiring literate cops!
Learn to check who is at your door before opening it!!!
If it had been an armed thug at his door, opening it armed would still be a tactical disadvantage.
