Pretty sure I could have opened that door without a battering ram and with minimal damage (if any).

But what would they do with the battering ram?

“There’s going to be a BIG payout.”
What with Denver being a corrupt leftist bastion, methinks not. It’s got a prostitute visiting mayor, a worthless joke of a newspaper, and the normal complement of inept butt-kissing media (conservative radio stations excepted).

And the judge should have done more than just sign the warrant

If there was a cop on the side of the road on fire, I wouldn’t stop to PISS on him.

No use for them. They have squandered almost if not all respect they ever had.

Maybe they will figure that out and clean up their ranks. Just following Orders is NEVER a valid excuse.

I bet with more and more “smart” locks being installed cops will be able to tap an app and unlock your door and get to shooting the pets and trashing the house quicker.

There is only only one reason for this... Low IQ stupidity.

They need to get rid of hire on IQ caps...

“Just following Orders is NEVER a valid excuse.”

When you consider yourself a soldier at WAR with the people you are supposed to serve, it is in their minds a valid excuse...

Colorado is quite used to it.

"HPD Chief Acevedo previously said a group of 15 officers arrived at the suspect's home and “immediately came under fire" after kicking down the suspect's door and shooting the homeowner's dog."

See? This is how it's done, when they raid the home of innocent, law abiding citizens.

This is from the murders of Dennis Tuttle and Roghena Nicholas, of Houston.

3 years ago and still ongoing.

What is the deal today?

I’ve lost count of clickbait headlines being posted to FR.

The headline is FALSE:

It was the truck owner’s use of the app, NOT the police.

It’s MUCH MORE egregious than the headline suggests:

The detective literally took the word of the truck owner and sought a warrant on that statement without any investigative work on his part.

But I side with others here: There is likely nothing to come of this but an out of court settlement.

I have lost all faith in our corrupted judicial process.

Anyone who takes umbrage at that statement can cite the date on which all the 1/6 prisoners were released on bail/OR...

I’m not positive the officers “came under fire” by the homeowners.

They broke in and shot the dog. When the wife tried to intervene, they used the tired claim that she “reached for the officer’s gun” to give the police gang permission to unload.

I haven’t heard any conclusive evidence that the husband fired, other than the police story, which has been pretty much blown apart. It almost certain that at least some of the police injuries were friendly fire.

I think the neighbors heard a shot coming from the house well after the incident, which could have been the police firing the gun to cover up their mistakes.

No real forensic evidence was done on the scene, a representative of the estate came by after the event, and there were still bullets in the walls.
