Bad situation, but I don’t see how the officers can be charged here. Wrong house and they shoot a guy with his hands up? Yeah, of course. Break down the wrong door and get shot at by someone who thinks they’re breaking in? Sure. But the victim here did not act in a sane, reasonable way, and it led to his being tragically but justifiably shot IMO. being at the wrong door shouldn’t mean an officer has to get shot when someone comes out pointing a gun in their face. I live off the main road a ways, and when someone knocks at night I answer with a gun if I don’t know who it is. That said, I don’t bust out the front door and jump into a shooting stance pointing it at whoever is there without knowing who it is. It could be the police, it could be someone at the wrong house, or it could be a 12-year-old looking for their dog. All of those have happened out here, but I’ve yet to have a robber knock on my front door. When the police knocked at night I looked out the window and saw the patrol unit and put the pistol in a drawer before I answered the door. All this guy had to do was crack the door and look outside, or just looked through the window right next to the door. The porch light was on, and these guys weren’t hiding around the corner.

MLB always taking it easy on the Yanks.

They absolutely should NOT be prosecuted for just knocking on the wrong door. They should be prosecuted for taking an innocent mans life, and trying to kill his wife before taking enough due diligence to make 100% sure they are confronting the right person at the right address before shooting to kill. Clearly there was doubt already in the air. Retreating until everything is 100% confirmed would have been the prudent course of action, and prevented this very preventable tragedy. Do you think simply issuing a public apology while a grieving widow and horrified kids try to go on without a Dad is all that should be done?

Great game. Had fun. Astros win 8-2.

A man lost his life due to a mix up. They went to 05 instead of 08. Yes someone should be held accountable. I'm 1000 miles away, don't even know the guy. Yet it still angers me to see this continue. Senseless is word I hear too much to describe these incidents. Where's the body cam that was released?
