All the costumed agents of The State involved in this need to face murder charges.
It’s at least manslaughter...
But...but...qualified immunity.
Then what’s the point of having laws???
I must admit that many of the first amendment audits you see on youtube and elsewhere are eye openers. The militarization of the police is out of hand but maybe not in some areas because we have been importing the most violent SOB’s that exist from Mexico and South America.
Always carry....
I’ll take “Sh@$ that never happened” for $500 Alex.
Pardon?
You excuse and apologize for these officers’ gross negligence?
Maybe they went to the right address?

Is it the person who reports the incident and get the address wrong? Does the dispatcher get it wrong? Do the responding police get it wrong? With all the technology now, can this happen so often?
Did the woman have a gun when they started shooting at her?
I couldn’t make out everything.
Qualified immunity is a little overblown by BLM and is not the blanket they pretended it was. Anyway, New Mexico does not have qualified immunity. I think they were one of the first two states to completely eliminate it. And even when they did, this would have been prosecuted, and the city was/is on the hook for a massive civil lawsuit.
You think that was a good shoot?
Why didn’t they use the doorbell, it has a slightly less ominous effect late at night than knocking.
“”You get the government you deserve and by extension the police you deserve. If you aren’t actively involved in politics by running for office, recruiting candidates or in some way being involved in law enforcement you get what you deserve. If your police are incompetent or corrupt it’s because you are incompetent and corrupt. Stop deflecting blame and take responsibility for your government.””
Is that how you have lived your life while spending 22 years on a forum complaining about things that you weren’t devoting your life to changing?
One hour & 26 minutes delay in first part of call for help???
They were out to investigate a complaint. When there was no response to knocking at the door, they asked dispatch to telephone the "RP" (reporting party) and have them come to the door. That they all subsequently backed away out of the porch light and waited in the dark with guns drawn doesn't make much sense to me.
If you're not getting an answer when someone has called you out, the first thing you do is double-check that you have the right address and that that address matches the one you're standing at.
How ironic: you sat on your ass to write a complaint. Yeah, that's not all I do, either.
The homeowner should have emptied his gun through the door, unless, of course, it was a steel door. He would go to prison for shooting police officers but he would maybe be alive. That kind of error should be punished by jail time. That would maybe make police officers more careful about reading a 3 as an 8.
All those involved have received job offers from the DOJ.
It's midnight, you're suddenly awaken, somebody is banging on your door, and you hear noises. In 2023, what sane person would go to their door unarmed?
