Apparently, it was a mistake. It was the home owner.

What in the flying fuck? Homeowner should be legally entitled to fire back.

If the homeowner had fired back, and killed the cops, they would likely be cleared of wrongdoing (eventually, like a loooong eventually). It's already happened several times.

What, cops show up and start mag dumping on the wrong house? Agreed.

If an armed force starts shooting especially in the manner that they did, I'm siding with the person who defends themselves.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

Since this is probably in the US, yes. But not where I come from.

The person broke into the house, that's why the cops were there. Then they went to the door with a gun, that's why they opened fire.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

Probably because that person wasn't part of a well regulated militia. The system is working as intended.

Per your second source a gun was found near the doorway and

"According to the Sheriff’s Office account in the video, the deputies went to investigate the reported break-in and saw "the front window screen removed, broken glass and the blinds raised, near the front door." The deputies knocked, and one of them announced their presence. It is unclear from the body camera footage where the glass was broken."

It is unclear from the body camera footage where the glass was broken.

Probably wasn't broken at all until they unloaded through the window.

I was gonna make a joke about "hopefully they got the right person", but i guess i forgot I live in the darkest timeline.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

Yeah... I wasn't too surprised as well... that many mags and that much force... I mean... come on, anyone with half a brain would have emptied like 5 rounds max and got behind something... to access the situation, try and get the other side talking or whatever...

But, in this day and age, stuff like this doesn't surprise me at all.
