There are a lot of questions surrounding the deadly shooting of a 61-year-old Laurel County man this week, by London police officers who say they were there to serve a search warrant.
"I heard five shots," says a neighbor, who does not want to be identified. "At least five shots. Woke me up. I was laying on the couch."
Neighbors are still in disbelief and looking for answers as to why London Police were at the door of 61-year-old Doug Harless the night of December 23rd. One neighbor walked us through what they say happened that night.
"My wife looked out the back door and said, Doug's house is all lit up. At that time, we had seen several cop cars up and down the road and I contacted his daughter. She sent her husband out here to find out that her dad was deceased. The cops had shot him."
London Police say they were attempting to execute a search warrant at a home on Vanzant Rd. In Laurel County.
In a press release, officers say Harless pointed a gun at officers, and that's when an officer opened fire. Harless died as a result.

Did he know they were police, or was this another deadly “No Knock” that killed another innocent?
I say we should change the laws to allow surviving friends and family members do this to the people who did this to him.

The officers were undoubtedly trained by the ATF.

Why are the police doing "dynamic entries" at night for a stolen weed eater?
Why are they not knocking on the door in the middle of the day?

But now everything is breaking out, whether the search warrant was for 489, which is right here on this corner, two doors down from Doug. They are looking for the guy that lives there in that house for a stolen weed eater." Wow, all this for a stolen weed eater ?
Well, the cops all finished their shift safely.. /s

Looking for a “WEED EATER” really? With a search warrant and late night raid? Somebody tell me how the cops are not gone rogue and trained to be desensitized and abusive to the public. Please explain that to me.

I am sorry.
You are right, a weed eater is a pet, is an adult, is a child.
What was I thinking?

Well that’s because you’re a psychopath :)
Prison time for the people that did it.
People need to stop being fake tough guys on here and start talking sense again.
FEW here, I am quite sure, would want to shoot someone else in return.
Many just talk too big...thank goodness.
I talk like a tough guy too sometimes :) I’m not :)

It is my contention that the cops watch way to much TV. Or media or something.
The cops in the shows are always right and big heroes.
Real life rarely works that way.

This was premeditated murder. They had all the information and chose to not take any simpler path for the crime this innocent man was to have done.
A good “No Knock” on these people would get be a fair action to allow.
I think it should be allowed to happen several unannounced times on these same people. The original victim’s family could choose either a very large sum of money or to have this happen.
I want it to be legal.

The cops broke into a house without a warrant and killed the guy defending his home. That is murder.

But did they plant a ‘drop’ weed eater when they were done?
