Just saw this on John Bryan's channel.
Laurel County, Kentucky
Police go HAM to get a weedeater. Got a warrant, banged on a door at night (close to midnight), barge in, shoot and kill innocent man inside.

Weedeater missing, arrest made. Man tells them it's at 515 Van Zant.
It appears police, for some reason, got a warrant for 489 Van Zant. They announce on the radio they are serving the warrant at that address.
However, they were actually at 511 Van Zant.

After the shooting they have a huddle in the front yard, apparently to come up with a story to excuse murder. No body cam footage released. Police saying they did nothing wrong.

The weedeater belonged to a judge and it's speculated that this is why they mounted up an armed entry team at midnight. This is utter incompetence.

I assume the judge signed the warrant. He should be arrested with the rest of them.

People say the average police officer is a good guy, just like they say the same with rank and file FBI agents. They’re both untrue.

The largest gangs in America are our police forces.

Always assume that any interaction you have with the police can end with your death.

BFE Eastern Ky, cops probably thought they could cover it up. Knowing that area I’m sure the prospects for police officers is pretty slim with the pay being so low.

Why the frick are four cops ripping up to someone's house late at night ready to shoot to execute a warrant to find a weedeater that probably cost $100?

Cops can be the fricking worst.

This is bad news. Did the cops wait to call this into the dispatcher to “get their stories straight”? If medical care was delayed/denied because of that reason then there will be some trouble. I know that’s just one angle, but it’s a big problem.

Yeah, that isn't going to hold up very long.
I wonder which of that group is the first to think, I ain't going to jail for this shite since I didn't pull the trigger and rats on the others?

In the video he is quoted saying “he didn’t sign a warrant”. I’m calling BS

Why did they kill the guy instead of arresting?

That lawyer does a good job exposing and suing the shite out of bad actors in the different law enforcement community. He’s got some good videos on his page

Give the family $50M and each cop spends 20 years in prison.
