Check to see if there's a development looking to buy all the land in that area. You know. Like the last time police did this, and it got buried for years until public outcry made the legal system reluctantly look into and find out there were very rich people who wanted the home of Brianna Taylor, and got it for what $1.00 after she was murdered in her bed by a cop who snuck behind the house to her bedroom and opened fire.

Why the fuck do they need to raid any house for a fucking weed eater!? That is serious small time shit.

They broke into his house, and he got a gun out. Which is one of the few times it is reasonable to brandish a weapon... And they use that as justification to kill him. Over a weed eater.

The police don't give a shit if someone steals your catalytic converter, your whole car, or all of your tools. But I guess if you're a judge they will kill for your weed eater.

There is more to this story that we will never know. You raid a home over a stolen fucking weed eater. Gross abuse of power by someone

stealing the Weed Eater from a home of a local judge

Aha, so that's why they suddenly give a shit about property theft, because it was from a member of their little club.

This dude got executed by a death squad.

What's it's matter about the address. We are talking about a weed eater. Chill the fuck out.

"Oh don't like the cops? I guess the next time you're in trouble you'll call a crackhead?"

That does seem to have a better survival rate

So police get to kill anyone over anything with the word 'weed' now? I can't think of any other reason to raid the home for a fucking $300 item.

What the fuck does a stolen weed eater require a home raid? Like WTF.

Is this the only profession that lets you make consistent fatal errors with impunity? I really can't think of another.

So they wanted to kill this man and decided to use this flimsy excuse? I mean WTF?

Why does the article give a street address??? Wtf?

This is a repeat post, so I'll repeat one of my replies partially: I wouldn’t be surprised if a suddenly vacant lot wouldn’t suddenly be auctioned off to a cop’s relative in areas with a high predominance of this. Read up on civil asset forfeiture as well. In some places, cops are basically legalized mafias.

What are Kentucky police doing in London? Far from home

This happened in a state where the majority of residents (especially in these rural areas) feel everyone should be armed for protection. They are also overwhelmingly in favor of aggressive police tactics so when I see a rural man defending himself and being shot for it by police I can't help but sigh. I mean, anyone with half a brain could see these situations coming. Do we really need to use swat teams for non violent property crimes?

ACAB

It sounds like the judge and police were working together to execute someone. I really can't tell incompetence from pure evil anymore.

The one part I as a non-American don't understand about this is: Is America not supposed to be a free country? Why the hell do you have people who can kill anyone with no repercussions? What the hell happened to the rule of law? And, more importantly, why the actual fuck is the whole country not up in arms over this?

Fuck pigs
