Just when you only thought you had to worry about cops busting in your door, now it's fake cops. You know it's bad when the real cops warn you to protect yourself.

FWIW, reporter says it happened in East Austin and even shows it on a map... on the west of I35. The bozo can't tell east from west. This guy never gets the reports correct.

How do they know the cops were fake?

It is sad that this question is not unreasonable.

Neighbors said a group of about nine men kicked in the door to a home with a shotgun and a handgun.

Why didn't they use their feet?

People, particularly newbies living in Houston, have a difficult time with Highway 59, the Southwest Freeway. It does slice through the city from the southwest to the northeast but parts of it do run east/west, parts true north/south. Some things really are on the east side of the Southwest Freeway as it is headed straight north. Then, of course, some always have trouble describing where something is located on the 610 Loop which in some areas isn’t quite a loop.

It may be I-10 to the newbies in Houston, but it really is the Katy Freeway! Sometimes how you describe where something is depends on how long you have lived there.

Given that a lot of folks must have missed Compass 101 in school, they do seem to have difficulty with their directions!

This sort of thing isn’t new.

Fifteen years ago in Phoenix, five guys claiming to be bounty hunters broke into a home and murdered the two occupants.

This is why no-knock warrants are unacceptable. You can call them "dynamic entries" but whatever name you use they are still violent home invasions. A resident has only moments to mount a defense and wondering if the invaders are actually agents of the state is a distraction that can get everyone killed.

Storm a citizen's house, die in a citizen's house.

There are a heck of a lot of unanswered questions in this one.

The relative lack of weapons and the large number of perps makes me think this was less about robbery than it was about revenge. Maybe for rape, real or imagined. Family honor and nonsense like that.

Just a shotgun and a handgun are about control, not a shoot out.

If it was a robbery, the people being robbed would have to have a lot of something that was heavy and hard to move, like gold bars or bales of marijuana. Otherwise, I’d leave half of them on the perimeter as pickets.

And people thought Hoosiers were crazy with the shooting cops during illegal entry law. It also protects us from these dirtbags that dress up as cops and kick in the door.

Good thing the neighbor called the real cops. A lot of people would have just gone inside and ignored the whole business. It’s a shame that we have gotten to the point where we have to call the police just to guard against fake police. Come to think of it, this might have to become standard procedure in the future.

This has been going on long before this story.

North is to the top thus he’s showing it in east Austin. Google will give you the same picture of that address.
