SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. -- A recent college graduate is waiting to hear the words “I’m sorry” from two Spokane County Sheriff's deputies. Conner Guerrero said the deputies were sneaking around his house, forced him on his knees on his lawn, and handcuffed him in front of his neighbors.

But deputies had the wrong house and the wrong guy. "Just trying to enjoy my evening.  All the sudden, I see a flashlight shining through my doors…” said Guerrero.  “I'm thinking this could be a dangerous situation for me.” Guerrero said he assumed the two men outside his house were burglars.“I come over to my door and I slap it to say hey someone is in this house and they're not going to let you come in here.”

He said he then got the scare of his life. "Right as soon as I opened this door, and it's dark outside - it's very dark and all I can see is a pistol.”

As Conner ran for cover, he heard a man yell ‘Sheriff's Office’ and asking him to come out.  Guerrero said he immediately complied. "I'm wondering why the hell is a gun being pointed at me right now!”

Conner said the deputies accused him of being an intruder on his own home.“They directed me to take a knee, well both knees,” he said.  "The gun [was] still drawn.The deputies then reportedly took his ID, proving Guerrero lived there.

But he claimed when the mistake was realized, he was the one apologizing while the deputy said something that gave him chills.

“’You're lucky I didn't [expletive] shoot you,"

He soon learned the deputies were responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle but went to the wrong house.

And just what do you know about Sheriff Knezovich?

Based on his quote from this incident alone, he knows nothing about being a stand up guy.

They are now branching out. On another thread, there was a cadre that was advocating for the police to be able to shoot traffic violators, red light runners specifically on sight.

Holy shit… summary execution?
Sure a traffic violator might be a jerk, and at some times make a situation dangerous… but sudden and immediate death (i.e. without chance of appeal or defense)?

That's just irrational.

Yet more law enforcement f*ckups, featuring yet another crew who’ve never read the constitution.

Hiring practices. Accepting double digit IQs, GED, no psychological screening, paying them what they would make at McDonalds ( with the squad car perk).

Then of course, giving them a gun and the opportunity for the losers to exercise authority over people superior to them.

I saw a case of this posted on YouTube, Rochester NY. There was a quiet neighborhood meeting after a woman filmed the police making a stop, and they arrested her for filming them, on HER OWN PROPERTY. During this daytime meeting in support of this woman, about four squad cars descended on the neighborhood and ticketed everyone whose cars were parked more than 12” from the curb. It was a quiet suburban street, so it was clearly a case of retribution.
