And on top of that, they didn't arrest anybody.
I guess they just went there to kill the dog, LOL.

Mitchell said the warrant was considered ''high-risk'' because officers weren't sure what they would find inside the apartment. Um, how do they have a seacrh warrant of they aren't sure what they would find? I thought the warrant had to name what was being searched for.
It seems like in 3 out of 4 of these "mistaken/accidental shootings", no one is ever arrested. Odd.

My favorite part of the article:
He also said investigators were trying to determine whether the man in the apartment was trying to stop the dog as it lunged at the officer, or was trying to protect the dog.

Does Kentucky law allow someone to personally sue the officers for misconduct, or just the department? Is there a liability issue here for individual officers?

The shooting is the first to be investigated since Chief Robert White instituted a new Public Integrity Unit to investigate all shootings. The announcement came in the wake of the shooting death of James Taylor by a Louisville police detective on Dec. 5. The detective fired 11 times at Taylor, whose hands were cuffed behind him, after Taylor pulled a box cutter knife from his pocket and threatened the officer, police said.
Yeah right a guy with his hands cuffed behind him pulls out a box cutter and threatens an armed police officer....I guess it took 11 shots to end that threat.. The guy should have been searched before getting cuffed. (maybe he was?)I don't know maybe the guy was a circus performer, triple jointed and a contortionist escape artist and did pose a threat....if the story is true it belongs in Ripley's Believe it or Not and a Darwin award for the guy.
