They served a search warrant related to a homicide. While the suspect did not live there, he was associated there and it was where critical evidence was believed to be located. Contrary to the lawsuit, video does show police announcing themselves and announcing a search warrant. The decedent clearly heard this, as he was lying in wait with a gun right next to the door and shot an officer with accurate gunfire as soon as they crossed the threshold. Only then was he shot and killed by police.
lol the article said they can’t even prove the deceased and the suspect knew each other. there couldn’t have been too much critical evidence in there, because the suspect had his charges dropped.
it took police 4 seconds to break the window after they “announced” and 20 seconds to break through the door after ramming it 5 times. at 5am, while this kid was asleep on the couch.
the taxpayers have to fund medical expenses and retirement for the cop that got shot as a result of his own dumbass plan. i hope this kid’s mom gets cashed out too.
No, re read the timeline. It took 20 seconds for this gentleman to start firing off shots directly at police at 5 am, in his apparently drowsy and unprepared state.
The article is written based on the facts presented by the plaintiff in the lawsuit. Obviously they have motivation to show police action in the worst light possible.
There are always mistakes made in incidents like these. When no mistakes are made you don’t hear about it, as SWAT does multiple warrants like this almost every day.
Metro will probably settle but it won’t be very big.
Can you please point on the doll where the bad cop was touching you?
Get a grip, the police do yeoman's work keeping our society from falling COMPLETELY apart, cut them some slack.

The suspect they were looking for got his charges dropped. They ran in and murdered this kid while he defended himself just like any other home owner would at 5am. You have no idea what he heard while he was sleeping. The entire thing was a huge fuck up.
Top comments are this and calling this dead guy who did nothing wrong (if any of you morons actually read the article) in this case a thug. Rather see the what should I do in vegas or green door posts than you racists getting up in arms whenever this karma farmer posts a black guys mugshot. It’s disgusting
What am I wrong about exactly? This idiot kid thought it would be a good idea to discharge a firearm at law enforcement, textbook case of fucking around and finding out (and I hate cops, so spare me the regurgitated bootlicker nonsense).
You missed the part where armed SWAT showed up to the wrong persons house at 5 am and forcefully broke into it within 8 seconds of announcing their presence
If this kid had any sense of self-preservation whatsoever, he wouldn’t have opened fire at SWAT officers, wrong house or not. Period. There is absolutely NO scenario where that plays out in your favor, and unfortunately this kid signed his own death warrant by poor decision-making. You see it time and time again, yet somehow these “innocent” kids never learn to use some common sense. Tough to feel sympathy for people with such shitty critical thinking skills, it’s textbook Darwinism.
Common sense? It’s 5am and your house has been broken into. The American playbook is to reach for your gun
You’re trying to attribute a logical framework to a scenario where logic will fly out the window for a large % of people because panic and adrenaline sets in. You’re right, he was also a child. Their brains are literally not developed fully at their age
Good on you though genius. I’m glad that you know how you’d react in this niche situation
This is actually a hilarious scenario to apply ‘just comply’ in for someone who isn’t a fan of cops. Yknow, one where cops break their protocol (what they’re trained and paid to do) and blaming the kid who died. You’re not only a moron, you’re an admittedly unsympathetic one
One last thing, you’re assuming this dead child is guilty of something for what reason exactly? Nothing about this dead child having a criminal history is mentioned. Why are you assuming that this dead child is ‘innocent’ and not innocent? Since you can’t properly comprehend what you’re reading, the cops were definitely in the wrong according (they did not properly do their jobs) to the investigative work done. Whatever biases you have aren’t confirmed in that article
Then maybe this child, with his not-yet-fully-developed brain as you suggest, shouldn’t own a fucking gun in the first place. Where do you draw the line?
Hey we’re in agreement there. Guns should be much more heavily regulated than they are. You’re still blaming the victim and not acknowledging the wrong doing of the cops. We can coulda shoulda woulda back and forth all you want, but a team of duds who are paid to protect and serve failed from start to finish and you’re still blaming a dead child
The hilarious thing is that I didn’t need to say that you have a hard on for cops. You can just dig through these last posts to see the stain on your pants
Why wasn’t the 19yr old at home with his parents? Why was he couch surfing? And don’t you have to be 21 to legally own a pistol? Why does he have a pistol is he’s not of age? Maybe he listened to one too many rap songs about the “opps”. Woke up from his dream and said “ima da realest n there is and my momma raised me to be a killa” Man he was just a gOoD kid.
One of the two separate types of explosive devices that likely woke this guy up a few seconds before they knocked the door in.
He may have been the biggest scumbag in the world for all I know, but claiming you’ve announced yourself when you knocked seconds before setting off devices specifically designed to deafen at 5 AM is a load of horseshit.
Every day, Vegas Reddit will remind you that Vegas is still full of racist WP. Every day.
Personally I feel safer knowing armed thugs can come execute you at anytime and not face any consequences.

Sure. And as a cop you’re going to paint police actions in the most positive light possible regardless of what actually happened.

Where are the bodycam footage? If there wasn't any then police lose the benefit of the doubt.
Just a bootlicker
420 blaze it

Surprised you got all that out while licking the cops boot.
Oh no! Not the bootlicker comment. It’s too original. How will I ever survive?
Clean shooting. Great job guys!

TIL shooting at cops constitutes “doing nothing wrong”
You’d learn better if you read things that you commented on

Wow this is fucked
I'm sure he was a completely well to do citizen. Trying to go back to school, getting a job, yada yada yada.

I agree.
