This is not the first time. They shot a marine dead who answered his door with a gun in hand.

No knock warrants should not be allowed. period. worried he’s gonna jump out the back window? here’s a wild idea.. Put some cops back there to catch him BEFORE you knock.

[null and void]

If only he had a dog for them to shoot instead, he’d still be alive today.

[Doctor 2Brains]

The only problem with your idea is the fat, doughnut eating pigs wouldn’t be able to catch him after he jumped, or shoot him unless he was a helpless canine trapped in the home. Even then it would take about 30 or 40 rounds.

Gestapo in action

They admitted they didn’t identify themselves? Well, that’ll be one monster settlement to the dead guys family. Hopefully a couple of cops will now be exploring other job opportunities. With any luck the words “would you like fries with that?” will be part of their new careers.

sheriff's spokesman Lt. John Herrell said their silence was 'tactically advantageous'.

They better not be looking for new jobs... they better be in jail for murder.

[paddles]

Spot on.

On seeing that Scott was armed officers immediately opened fire with a shower of bullets that killed the 26-year-old and left several holes in his front door.

Unbelievable! Cops seem to think that any movement on your part that causes them to question your motives, gives them cause to shoot you, and that includes shoot to kill, as in this case!

This reminds of when the police killed the Hispanic out in Azizona last year, inside his home, after he returned home from work. And his wife and boy were inside the house with him.

[rawhide]

Agree! They need to be charged with at least manslaughter.

[Truth29]

Tough to say what the right response should be, but one might be not to answer the door if you don’t know who is on the other side. If they start breaking down the door without identifying themselves (even then you don’t know for sure)it is decision time.

[Lurker]

There’s a hell of a 42USC1983 action here, too. Those cops are toast.

They better not be looking for new jobs... they better be in jail for murder.

Hahahahahahahahahah!

When cops fly.

[2harddrive]

Cops just seem too trigger-happy these days. The fact is, they killed a guy who was obeying the law. If the cops are unwilling to take SOME risk, they need to get off the force. These bully-boys give pigs everywhere a bad name!

[Navy Patriot]

We’re from the government and we’re here to help,...bankrupt the taxpayers.

They go full tilt at the box of donuts, eating the whole baker’s dozen. Then they go full tilt at innocent citizens, emptying their magazines. No subtlety, no precision, no accountability.

With any luck the words “would you like fries with that?” will be part of their new careers.

I'd agree that they should be relocated to a setting where shakes and fries are involved, but McD's isn't quite what I have in mind.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Does this now turn into a felony murder rap for the original perp?
