How can they be so stupid when what they're doing is so serious? Raid these houses, but can't get the address right?

When the police take too long to come with a statement it means they don’t have a story to tell 😂

[Don-wgzk]

This was cold blooded deletion of an innocent man and an active duty military personnel.

I don't understand how you can have a whole planned operation and have the WRONG address 🤷‍♂️🙄

EDIT: Obviously we know now that this was bad reporting... as the bodycam video clearly explains what NBC couldn't

Don't forget, this is the same department that Acorn Cop came from

[landencarl]

[bluestar]

Wrong address? I ain't buying that BS!

Could you imagine as a parent how would you feel? Your child has always done the right things in life! Is a soldier and the police break down his door and shoot him? Mind you when he asked who is knocking on his door why couldn’t they say police? Why did they cover the peep hole? How does this make any sense?

This is heartbreaking !! 💔💔💔💔 No excuses, none. !! God help this family make it through !

[_dooley]

This is infuriating! I'm glad there was a witness on the phone. They didn't announce themselves! They covered the peephole! They banged on the door... what else would anyone do but get your gun? Where's the bodycam footage!?

[sllott]

This is inexcusable and devastating!!!
💔 Condolences and Prayers to this family!

Geesh 😢..you would think they would double check the address, before knocking on the door. They should get charged 2:09
