not exactly how it happened.

from the link, if you read it:

The footage goes on to show officers walking to the back of the property and shining lights in windows before entering through an unlocked back door.


I would never go to sleep without locking my door and setting my alarm. But thats still no excuse for the cops to go to the wrong address. And if the cops entered my home, I'd probably start shooting at them.
But to your point, this sort of thing (wrong address) seems to happen more frequently than it should. In an age with GPS locations on your phone and car dash board, not sure how they ever get a wrong address.

There’s no laws for mandatory locking doors but there are laws against unlawful entry of a dwelling

No shite counselor. That's why I didn't suggest there was. I simply pointed out that 5-0 didn't kick in the door and that I don't go to sleep without locking mine.

If im sheriff, I own it and show up the next morning with a gift card to Ruth's Chris, bought with donations from each officer there.

This goes away, and trust is restored.

Instead, all will be punished, and maybe fired for lying.

Just stupid

It’s possible them not locking their door saved everyone from something worse happened. If you hear banging on your door then you probably have time to grab a firearm before they break the door down.

Also, the cost PER VEHICLE to rig up a cruiser with all the latest electronics, computers, communication devices, etc, was over 100k. I imagine its even higher now.

So with all that, and I assume at least 4 vehicles present, with completely geared officers, they can't get a fricking address correctly passed from caller to officers?

How about getting the original caller on the phone, lol

Many cops are seriously dumb fricks who joined the academy because they were out of other options...and a few weeks later, they have a badge.

Its the equivalent of beauty/hair school for dumb bitchez.

Why not convert these people from adversaries to supporters through diligent efforts at reconciliation?
Responsibly recovering from mistakes is a mark of good leadership.
Sadly lacking trait in our society today.

If they just come clean right away, there's a chance a lot of reasonable people would find a way to just let it go. I'd be pissed too but would think I'd rather have police remembering I was reasonable when they messed with me before. It would be like an immediate "get out of jail card". The only prob, what are all the neighbors thinking is going on?????????? Just a dumb mistake by police.

Are you a plaintiff’s attorney? I agree that what happened was awful, but what if they sincerely apologized, explained that a neighbor called and reported a possible intruder, and said they were just trying to keep the neighborhood safe? I do think they should get something. The gift card idea was good. But come on. Nobody was injured and nobody is perfect.

That said, the Walker PD sucks in my experience. I was harassed by an officer during a traffic stop for a seatbelt violation and i was wearing mine. The officer looked about 21 years old and seemed hopped up on preworkout or some other stimulant. I think the issue is that we live in a very low trust society right now. Everyone is paranoid and afraid of a lawsuit.

Agree. Also, what ever happened with the person who actually called them?

Apologizing doesn’t erase the memory of being woken up by a gang home invasion carried out by armed people drawing weapons on you. Guy would have been justified in shooting them all dead through his bedroom wall. You don’t have a right to enter someone’s home without a warrant and doing so puts great liability and risk on the homeowner

Some mistakes just aren’t ok and you can’t take them back. These fatboy cops should know that considering how much law and order they throw at people who make mistakes.

Ah yes. They politely entered through an unlocked door before realizing the wrong house. Who needs a warrant when they have an unlocked door and a flashlight.

My door gets kicked in or someone walks through it unlocked I can positively say there will be shot up dead bodies. A very good chance I would be one of them but it would be more than just me that I can assure.

Which is why you don’t go walking around in unsuspecting people’s homes.

It is way past the ability to seriously apologize . When you realize it was a mistake and tell them "Sorry about your luck, frickers", Then act like they are wrong for being pissed off, sincere apology is long past.
