On Monday evening in Houston, a dozen armed men broke into the home of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas, a middle-aged couple who had lived in the house at 7815 Harding Street for at least two decades. The first man through the door, who was armed with a shotgun, used it to kill one of the couple's dogs. Tuttle responded to the home invasion by grabbing a revolver and shooting the man with the shotgun, who collapsed on a sofa in the living room. As Nicholas tried to disarm the intruder, his accomplices shot her. Tuttle returned fire, and by the end of the shootout he and his wife were both dead. Four of the assailants were hit by gunfire, while a fifth injured his knee.

Prove the pit bull wasn't turned loose on the officers. You weren't there.

Houston Narcotics Officers Were Greeted by a Charging Dog and a Barrage of Bullets
There was no "Barrage of Bullets", they lied. Why would anyone believe them about the dog?
Give it up.
And, even though. the police in question were both incompetent and lied to get a warrant, police officers in general have a right to defend themselves. You apparently want to strop that right away.

You make it a habit to be wrong it seems.
Five of the officers were shot. And, it wasn't friendly fire or that would have been reported.
Quit while you're behind.
You are unbelievable. The fact that you can’t see the cops acted wrong in this is beyond belief. My best friend is a 20 year LEO. We were military buds before he retired in 2000. He is furious over this. We live in the Houston area and his jurisdiction has dealings with HPD (he’s in Galveston county). It’s a bad deal. The cops were wrong. It’s very clear. It’s crap like this that puts people like my friend in danger.
. So-in essence, you are basically saying you, the homeowner have zero right to self defense because all someone has to do is say they are the cops when they break down your door. Now-keep in mind your sound asleep and it’s dark. That doesn’t matter. Your supposed to know all of that.
And the FACT that faulty and FALSE information put the police officers into the position to shoot you while you defended yourself against an unknown intruder should have no bearing?
That’s America to you? That’s what you think we are? Take that crap to some third world dictatorship. That’s not who we are. If someone lies or falsified information and it gets people through my door and people get hurt or killed because of it-I don’t care if it’s self defense or not-that demands justice. It doesn’t demand a cover up.
As I recall, four were shot and one blew out his knee or something. And who would have reported it was friendly fire? The police? We know they lied, including the chief.
Show me a link to who exactly shot each officer with what weapon. Because you don't know what you're talking about. Being nasty doesn't make your point.
Talk about quit while you're behind. Take your own advice.
BTW, you still didn't answer the question. Hillary has not been charged with any felonies. Does that prove she didn't commit any? You won't answer because it would put the lie to your whole lame ass argument.
The police in this situation did not shoot themselves in order to murder the couple. If you believe that, you're a kook.
In other words, you can’t defend your argument, because it is indefensible, so you just post insults.
You still won’t answer the question, because you can’t without admitting you’re a fool, or worse.
Thanks for conceding my point.
BTW, braintrust, I never said that. They shot each other and the two homeowners. Probably one cop through the door discharged a weapon and the rest just opened up. Happens when gearqueers aren't trained and disciplined. And when the whole operation is conceived by liars. It's called a cluster **ck.
Welp.
This didn't age well...
If I were you, I wouldn't be gloating unless the police officer is actually convicted. We still have a concept in our legal system called innocent until proven guilty.

I'll note that the innocent couple was pronounced guilty and murdered by a couple of dirty judge/jury/executioner cops...
The issue was whether they acted in self-defense. They did. No charges have been filed. You said they didn't. You lose
I guess they didn't. The cops were shot by cops. And they lied. And murdered two people.
Care to revise and extend your remarks?
re: “ House had no video surveillance cameras”
BUT for the cost of cheap ‘game’ camera ...
re: “So were they drug dealers or not?...............”
REASON (mag) isn’t going to tell you that (at least not early on).
Is it a raid inherently aggressive...
I don’t think so, Tim...............
