No knock raid. Wrong house. 2 dead plus dog

[SanPatHogger]

I see you guys putting up memes about the ATF and SWAT teams shooting dogs. Here's a real one.
I thought the overtime scheme was just part of working for the government.

Finally.

I don't want to over simplify things but is it really that hard to get the right house? Maybe I'm missing something but how can the Police do this?
Theres always the possibility of there being more to the story also. These cops sound like scumbags based on the charges.

Read the ammo land link and another story about this- trying to reserve judgment until more facts come out- do I have the basic out line correct; Went to wrong house ,came in with guns blazing killed dog for no reason and then killed two home owners and then “made up “ a “tip” that brought them there and then lied about it and changed/destroyed records for the last two years.
I think that’s the cliff notes version, or am I mistaken?

Where’s the riots? Oh wait...

 

[anon]

Old news, wasn't a wrong address, was a fabricated charge. Plenty was posted back when it happened. Rhogena Nicholas and Dennis Tuttle were killed for no good reason, just because. I missed all of the unrest and protests for their cause.

2 people plus dog literally murdered in their home by criminal cops vs. idiot lifetime criminal fought with police and basically overdosed.
Upside down world.

You would be surprised what all goes on and what all gets covered up by the administration. Only reason why this one is in the news is because it made it into the light of day.

The administration has zero desire to hold anyone under its control accountable to the public. If they do it will cost them in lawsuits, public image as well as more eyes looking into them. Because of that administrations will allow bad officers to resign in lieu of being fired. I have seen letters of recommendation given to bad, corrupt officers for resigning quietly after getting caught.

We had a property officer who got caught stealing food stamp cards from those arrested then using or selling them. Also when someone bonded out using their ATM card this officer would steal money from the account at the same time. People were left in jail when the officer emptied their accounts. A very expensive investigation went on for over a year. They even had cameras installed to catch her, which required a complete shutdown of the facility and evacuation to keep the camera's installation hidden. Then when they had spent all this taxpayer money that paid for the collection of evidence they let her resign. BTW, this officer's spouse was allowed to work in the same department doing the same thing and he swears he had no idea what his spouse was doing.

Had an officer stealing mulch while on duty in his patrol. He went there dozens of times loading up mulch and never paying for it. When he was confronted by the manager the officer to him he was legally allowed to seize anything, including the mulch. Administration found out and took him off the road for a week, paid of course. Same officer decided he liked a clerk at a gas station. She refused his "offers" so he took a polaroid of his hard dick and wrote his number on the back. Administration found out and put him in the jails for a week.

Stuff like this is an administration problem, not a bad officer problem. Good officers often feel trapped because if they do the right thing they will get labelled a rat. Other officers will take their time to respond. You won't be allowed to take side jobs. So good officers are risking a lot to hold a bad cop accountable.

... although everyone should have a bookmark to this link (and other related ones). You know, for when your SJW buddies go on about how only POC are improperly killed by the Police, and how they are uniquely targeted, and thus, worthy of damaging riots. If not for the Man in that house getting off one good Neck shot (on the body armored detective), this story never would have been learned.

A real news agency would do a review of EVERY raid this team did in the previous 5 years, and see if there are some similar stories which were buried. But for now, the Houston police department is sitting on the evidence (two years later), and refusing to even say which gun (officer) delivered the deadly rounds to the couple, or the dogs.

As I recall, when Breonna Taylor was shot, the Justice Department was sent in to review all of the precincts records associated with all of the officers involved, to specifically see if a trend was discernable. This couple did not merit an equal response.

That is twisted.
Tragic that innocent people, and a dog, were wiped out.

Careful less anyone get banned for bad mouthing the protected class......

If you abuse your Authority and violate your oath, death penalty is on the table ...that would probably fix some of the problems we have.

I would settle for them being charged and treated like you or I in the same situation.

 

[theLBC]

but they don't look black! this is so confusing!

Consider the implications.

The implication seems to be squad 15 routinely organized no-knock raids in order to inflate their overtime numbers, and as a result, two innocent people were killed.

The details of the charges will come out in court. Details of the grand jury investigation may not be made available to the public.

DA Ogg said the investigation of the evidence collected from the phones, witness testimony, and official records, will continue until each person who has been impacted by the officers has a chance to complain, and the DA’s office has a chance to investigate what happened.

Not so much abuse of authority, but every enlisted military man in the US has violated his oath starting in January of this year. That oath means exactly what I knew it did all along. To get passed this hiccup, we can all just agree to never bring the oath up ever again.

And this is why people shout defund the police.
