The recent killing of a couple in Houston, Texas, and the wounding of four police officers, has been claimed to be an ambush of police by drug dealers.
Later accounts by officers at the scene show that police broke into the house, and fired first, killing the couple's dog.
The husband then fired back, wounding the officer who killed their dog.
Officers then shot the unarmed 58-year-old wife. They claim she was attempting to get the shotgun from the wounded officer. From cnn.com:
When Monday afternoon's raid was over, two suspects were dead and five officers were injured, four of them suffering gunshot wounds. The first officer fired a shotgun blast, killing the dog. Suspect Dennis Tuttle, 59, initially retreated but returned with a .357 Magnum, shooting the officer in the shoulder, the chief said. The officer collapsed onto a couch in the living room.
As the other narcotics officers charged through the door which Acevedo described as a fatal funnel the second suspect, Rhogena Nicholas, 58, tried to wrestle the shotgun away from the officer on the couch. Police quickly shot her.
More gunfire was exchanged as the 54-year-old officer who breached the door the officer who knocks down the door goes in last charged into the fray, realizing his fellow officers were in trouble.
He immediately knew his partners were down and he made entry. When he made entry, he got shot, Acevedo said. You know your brother's down, your sister's down, you go in, and that's what they did.

Hmmm... I guess I don't.. I just searched the net a bit and found nothing about the dog.. I made assumptions..
But, I don't think I would POP a chihuahua or a yorkie and I'm not even trained for the job... So, I just figured it was pitbull, aka drug dog...
That is not typical I can promise you
And no cop had a cam on
Again not typical
Its 12 miles btw not 20....I mapped it
No drugs found except a small bag of pot and some white powder they are lying about
Again this is how it works...I know exactly how this works from real life
That so called white powder they have field tested right away....they have shake and bake kits for that so they woulda claimed it instead of saying could be
This whole deal stinks and what youre gonna get now is CYA
till someone forces their hand
This is how they do it.
Whoops
And the coverup and deny starts......from police chief down
Only thing thwarts that is racial sensitivity or third party interference
If Im wrong Ill own it
Come to thank of it, so have I. And I have met some decent Officers, but that was long ago and far away.
As Stevie Ray Vaughn loved to say
Crossfire.
On Harding Street or Hardy Street?
Were they watching their informant as he did this? If they were, there's certainly video of him/her entering the house.
Or maybe there was something lost in the verbal translation. Autocomplete could have caused the mistaken address for that matter.
Several miles of separation might be a moot point in such a case.
Have they gotten a warrant on "the other house" yet?
Ouch....that one left a mark on ol bert
That he did. And probably several of them. He was\is very fortunate that he was not well ventilated, as well as his wife.
That’s my guess.
(Just axin', on the assumption that justice will prevail...)
ANY dog is going to get upset when somebody crashes down the door to HIS home. Even my little one. The cops would have shot the dog no matter what the size of it.
"The couple was somewhat reclusive, according to an account that a neighbor gave to the Houston Chronicle. The neighbor told the newspaper that he would see Tuttle walking his dog, didnt see Nicholas much, and indicated the couple had few visitors."
Neither had any prior criminal history.
The Constitutional mandated,"Innocent until proven guilty to the exclusion of reasonable doubt", no longer applies. Hell, the Constitution itself no longer applies.Everyone except the Governmental Agents is guilty of some crime. And the Governmental Agents are going to ferret it out. Don't believe that? Look no further than today's FBI.
And cops are allowed to make all the mistakes they want without consequence.
Meanwhile, I, as a CCW holder, have to be VERY sure about who I shoot.
If I, for example, encounter a bum holding pointing a gun at a young woman, and I shoot him, and it turns out that he was a plainclothes cop making an arrest, then I'm in deep trouble, and it won't matter that I made a good-faith mistake. That was what I was taught in CCW class.
Cops, as professionals, need to be held to similarly high standards. If they enter the wrong residence, and get shot, then it should be the cops own fault, and the person exercising what he thought was self-defense should walk.
They no longer care if the Citizens hate them or not.
What is the source of your quote
I guess I’m dead meat.
Break into my house, shoot my dog, I’m reaching for my bedside table or gun rack and start shooting, too.
It’s getting bad when one can’t distinguish between the criminals and the cops.
Let that be a lesson to all government agents: You work for us. And We the People are armed. Mind your manners.
