The taxpayers should not pay for murder. It should be paid out of the police union accounts.
To: Drew68
Because they shot and killed a man over the word of a car thief. They were probably desperate to find something...Exactly right. I'm very surprised they didn't "find" something, though.
The claim by this crook should have begun an investigation, not a raid.

Hooks owns a construction company that does work on military bases and has passed background checks by state and federal authorities.
This is not a person who needs to be involved in criminal activity for financial gain. He did very well financially, Shook said.
These cops kill an upstanding citizen on a tip from a druggy car thief?

"... Laurens deputies got a non-attorney deputy magistrate to sign off on a search warrant..." Apparently, this raid was conducted by the Laurens County Sheriff's Office, so the Laurens County Sheriff is responsible for this atrocity. As County Sheriff is an elected office, due to this incident one would hope this sheriff will never be re-elected, but, then "a people deserve the government they have," so it's up to the people of Laurens County to fire this man.

The judge who signed off on this unwarranted warrant should be impeached and removed from the bench for incompetence.
I don’t know why Georgians tolerate this kind of thing so much, but they do. From the Kathryn Johnston case (elderly woman murdered by officers during a “botched” and pointless drug raid) to the teen shot for holding a Wii controller in his own house to the flash-bang grenade thrown on top of a baby, Georgia seems to have many of the nation’s worse cases of police abuse.

Furthermore, if there is a blame, blame the car thief for a false lead. Also, blame the judge issuing the warrant based on a false lead. Cops were there executing the warrant.

I am not familiar with the case except for the details contained within this anti police article. That's odd, your not familiar with the case but then immediately suggest the cops were within their rights, (according the the same article) to shoot to death a totally innocent homeowner who had no idea a cartel, terrorist style commando raid was about to take place on his home.

The judge who approved the raid should be dragged into court and be convicted of manslaughter along with whomever applied for the warrant. The officers who pulled the trigger should be charged with murder one. The families of all officialdom involved should have all assets seized and be put to work in a soup kitchen as that will be the only way they can afford to eat.
I am not shocked that the perp made his silly allegation. I am shocked that anybody listened to him.

a totally innocent homeowner who had no idea a cartel, terrorist style commando raid was about to take place on his home.Not to mention a totally innocent homeowner who had just been robbed. When his wife saw a bunch of men wearing hoodies jump out of a car in front of their home, she told her husband, "the burglars are back" and this is why he armed himself.
And I'm not going to waste my time replying to the bootlickers on this thread.

Maybe if police acted like civilized professionals instead of evil characters from a sci-fi action flick these things wouldn’t happen. There is no excuse for police to do no knock warrants or dress like military thugs.

We all have our opinion and principles.
Mine says that the cops are good by default, unless proven otherwise. Nothing in that article suggests that the cops were in the wrong.
You can’t brandish weapons when cops have a warrant to search your house.

I’m surprised they didn’t plant some so that their kill would be “justified”.

Are you suggesting the judge will face severe criminal charges here? Will the cops? The commando tear? Will the Governor, the DA?
Amongst all these agents of the government involved, who exactly is going to state prison for this reckless behavior and ruining this family forever?

That balless punk stole the mans stuff and had the cops finish what he was scared to do.
