The police kept saying they had their weapons pointed at the ground at all times. At the same time, they said they were using their TAC lights on the gun to illuminate whatever they were looking at, Barnes said. You cant be doing both at the same time, thats contradictory. i.e. they lied.

The use of criminal tactics to enforce police action is worse than problematic. It is a justification for homocide.

They got caught in their lie. Good for the jury for seeing thru that BS.................

"The Keystone cops show up at the wrong house, again !" Yep and then everyone is astonished when some nutter guns down a cop and then he is celebrated by other nutters who think he is a hero.
I've said it before and I will say it again: Whoever is in charge of the LEOs need to get this nipped in the bud before we pass the point of no return! Soon it's not going to be nutters shooting cops. It's going to be normal citizens who are in fear for their lives because dumb ass Rambos what to play shoot'em-up-bang-bang

The case would allege negligence or gross negligence. Damages should come out of the personal assets of the 'officers' involved, and of their supervisors.

That was 40 minutes too long. They had to pick a foreman first. Then read through the charge. They then probably tore up pieces of paper to use as a ballot to take a secret nonbinding vote to see how many were leaning each way. Then they went through the ballots and saw that no one wanted to convict. They then talked about it for a few minutes to make sure they were all in agreement. They then took a formal vote, marked "not guilty" on the verdict form, signed it and called the bailiff.
Even when there is nothing to discuss it takes a responsible jury several minutes to do their job.

A minor point but it aggregates the hell out of me. One "hones" an edge; one "homes" in on a point. One 'aggregates' a group of items into a whole. A grammatical error 'aggravates' one.

The red dots on his chest warned him that there was a gun pointed at him, and the response of the police is to remove their lasers?? How will the next inappropriately targeted homeowner know his/her life is in immediate danger?

Malicious prosecution. It’s what they do, because they have a bottomless taxpeasant-funded checkbook..

Ill wager, however, that hones in appears more frequently in more writers work intentionally, than my typo does in mine.

He's very lucky he didn't get blasted by these inept cops. It seems as though they can't count or read.
The Commonwealth's attorney sounds like an idiot as well.

Malicious prosecution. Its what they do, because they have a bottomless taxpeasant-funded checkbook..Makes it harder for the peasant to file a complaint, too. Even if he hadn't fired a shot, they would have found something.

Violating ones 4th amendment rights is serious businessThat's odd. Violating the other amendments doesn't seem too serious.
To: All
Anytime the police hear there is a firearm, they start giving verbal commands, and they start yelling police.
Snooping around in peoples back yard you better assume there ARE firearms and State that you are police.
Its a miracle only one officers got shot.
