Now, this is a story with way too little information to determine whether the shooting was justified.
East St.Louis. Well, we all know what that means.
But - dynamic entry at 5 AM to serve a search warrant? Beginning to sound like the Houston case.
RIP Trooper Nickolas J Hopkins
Why is it I get this sick feeling we’ll come to find in the next few day this officers tragic death could have easily been avoided?
How they are going to miss him, for the rest of their lives...
Line of Duty Death ping.
FReepmail me to be added to the Line of Duty Death ping list.
Prayers up.
RIP.

Wonder why a State Trooper was serving this search warrant rather than the local police?
RIP Trooper Hopkins. May God comfort your family.
I hate reading stories like this. RIP

He asked to play soldier, and he got shot like one.
We don’t need that level of military gear and tactics in this nation. A search warrant, and they used armed vehicles with an attached battering ram.
It would be interesting to see if this raid was completely lawful; if it wasn’t, every one of the surviving members of the entry team could be charged with felony murder.
