Put
body cameras on every cop in America or take away their guns
We have to hire low IQ people as
cops. No one with a brain in there head would want the job or would stay on the
job after a few months….except those smart people who have daddy issues…anyway,
here’s examples of why we either need to body camera these morons take away
their guns and arm them with something less lethal.
Cops
Break Into Wrong Home, Shoot Innocent Homeowner, Kill His Dog, Then Shoot Each
Other
By Matt Agorist
Atlanta, GA — An almost
unbelievable tale of police incompetence comes out of Dekalb County Tuesday
after police responded to the wrong home on a burglary call.
During the blunder, police
officers wrongfully entered a residence as the homeowners, Chris and Leah
McKinley and their small child, watched the movieSerendipity on their sofa.
According to the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution:
The bizarre incident unfolded
shortly after 7:30 p.m. when three officers responded to a report of a
suspicious person near Bouldercrest Road, but were not given a street address,
DeKalb director of public safety Cedric Alexander said. The officers went to a
home in the 1500 block of Boulderwoods Drive that matched the description given
by a 911 caller, Dutton said.
“Officers approached the
residence and attempted to contact occupants at the residence,” he said. “No
contact was made.”
When officers went to the rear of
the house, they found an unlocked screen and unlocked door and believed an
intruder was inside, according to police. Officers entered the home through the
unlocked door that led to the kitchen and announced their presence.
“Upon entry to the residence, the
officers encountered a dog,” Dutton said in an email. “Two officers fired their
weapons, striking and killing the animal in the kitchen.”
The McKinley’s neighbor, Tama
Colson was out walking Monday night when she saw the patrol cars on the street.
She then heard the gunshots.
It wasn’t just the dog, who
police shot, however. After hearing police shoot his dog in the kitchen, Chris
McKinley walked into the room to assess the situation. That’s when he too was
shot by the Dekalb County police.
“I hear Leah screaming, I see
Chris walking out, ‘They just shot me, they just shot me, and they killed my
dog,’” Colson recounted of the incident. “So I got him to lay down, took my
shirt off and rendered first aid. And Chris just kept saying, ‘Why did they
shoot me? Why did they shoot my dog?’ He says, ‘I opened the door to see what
the dogs were barking at, and I see black uniforms and I hear
pop-pop-pop-pop,’” Colson continued.
But the epic blunder wasn’t over
just yet. After they broke into the wrong home, killed a family pet, and shot
the innocent and unarmed homeowner, they also shot their fellow cop!
One of the officers had to be
transported in critical condition to the Grady Memorial Hospital after being
shot by one of his own officers. That officer was in serious, but stable
condition Tuesday morning after receiving a bullet to his hip.
According to DeKalb police Chief
James Conroy, the three officers involved are all on paid leave.
“Without getting into the
specifics of this case, that’s one of the challenges when people call 911, we
often don’t know where they are,” Conroy said. “We want officers to go out and
investigate crimes like this rather than react. We want to go out and actually
apprehend criminals and help people.”
However, these officers were
doing no such investigation, nor were they apprehending criminals.
In an atypical fashion, the
department officially admitted to making a mistake.
“Are we perfect? Absolutely not.
But when we find that we made a mistake, we own it. We own the fact that we
were at the wrong house,” he said. “We didn’t hide it. We didn’t mismanage it.
We were at the wrong location based on information that was given to us.”
The part that was left out,
however, is that their ‘mistake’ led to police officers shooting an innocent
man and killing a family pet.
Cop
Shoots and Kills Little Girl’s Pony
An Oregon family is demanding
answers after a Sheriff’s deputy shot and killed their pony. The family says
they had no idea the officer was going to shoot the family pet, and it all
happened without their knowing and for no good reason whatsoever.
Crista Fitzgerald of Clackamas County
explained that the 30-year-old American Miniature Horse, named Gir, had no
problems aside from being old. But when he escaped from his stall in a Molalla
barn overnight on February 18th, an officer shot and killed him.
“I locked his stall door, and I
always do a double check. The next morning I came back out before I had class
in the morning, which is around 10, and he was gone,” Crista explained.
She said that Gir didn’t get very
far from the barn before being shot.
“We started knocking
door-to-door. And the first house we came to he was laying in their yard,” she
recounted.
At first the family thought that
Gir was taking a nap. But as they got closer to him, they saw that he had been
shot multiple times.
“We walked up closer and I bent
down to pet him, and that’s when I saw the pool of blood behind his cheek
bones. The neighbor came out and told us she had called the sheriff’s
department and they put him down,” Fitzgerald told local reporters.
“When I called the officer he
said that he had gotten out on the highway and gotten hit by a car and broke
both of his back legs,” she added.
A spokesman for the Clackamas
County Sheriff Office, Sgt. Nathan Thompson told local KATU News that the
officer claimed that the horse “had broken legs.”
Sgt. Thompson also lied and
claimed that the deputy called the Oregon Humane Society to ask about
euthanizing the horse and they told him to just go ahead and shot it. But a
spokeswoman for OHS said that this is not true; they never received a call from
anyone at the Sheriff’s Department about the horse, and they would not have
given them this advice if they had.
?
Fitzgerald said she didn’t
believe the department’s story that Gir had broken legs. She claims that there
was no sign of anything wrong with the horse’s legs when she saw her dead
family pet.
“My vet said there was absolutely
nothing wrong with him,” she added.
The body of the horse was sent to
Oregon State University’s veterinary lab for an autopsy. They confirmed that
there were no broken bones whatsoever in the horses legs, only in the jaw,
which was shattered by one of the bullets from the deputy’s weapon.
“If I had gone out and shot the
pony I’d be in jail right now. That’s cruel,” Fitzgerald said.
“He was part of our family…
There’s no way to replace him,” she said, saying that her children don’t
understand where Gir went, or why a police officer would hurt him.
