They released one of the body cam videos. So the cops went banging on the wrong door in the middle of the night. There was a domestic violence call they were responding to, so I am assuming their awareness was heightened. Home owner (Robert) answers with a gun in his hand and the cops shoot him. His wife then picks up the gun and returns fire, but ultimately backs down and surrenders. Go to the 3 minute 50 second mark of the video. Was Robert raising his weapon after opening the door? Can't say I blame him. People are banging on your door in the middle of the night and when you open the door all you see are bodies in the yard with flashlights. Will the cops be charged? Or just the police department held accountable and pay the family?

This is the kind of shite that outrages me.

And no one will care.

There will be zero accountability for anyone involved & these innocent people lost their lives with their family getting little recourse if any.

Not victim blaming but why did dude even open the door? Also I wonder if backup went to the correct address to find no one there.

There will be bootlickers in this thread. That’s a guarantee.

Unfortunately, because of qualified immunity, which allows for the government to frick up nothing will be done about this. It needs to go away.

Nothing will happen here. Qualified immunity and the wrong type of victim...

I’m sure their FOP will protect them as usual.

One of the things that LMPD here caught doing was far too regularly raiding the wrong house. Of course their officers also lie to obtain warrants, so this isn’t shocking. It’s why this kind of thing effects ALL of us.

Sadly, that’s the kind of shite that over shadows really great cops like the ones that neutralized the National Bank shooter.

If Robert is white, he had this coming.

If Robert is black, this is a problem that must be solved.

Satire:

In a dark twist, the domestic abuse victim was heard at the scene saying, "My husband is across the street. When you're done cleaning up this mess, can you come shoot him next"?
