Kentucky dispatchers repeatedly told police officers the address of a house they were supposed to raid over an alleged stolen Weed Eater, only for the cops to raid the wrong home and kill the man inside.
But the man who police say admitted to stealing the Weed Eater from a home of a local judge had already been in custody prior to the deadly raid that took place minutes before midnight last month, according to WLEX. That man told police he had stored the stolen Weed Eater at a home at 489 Vanzant Road which is a rural area outside of London city limits.

This dude got executed by a death squad.
Either the cops are incredibly competent (likely) or they intentionally raided the wrong home as an excuse to kill this man, perhaps under judges orders.
When you can’t tell if police killed someone through staggering incompetence or deliberate malice… something is fundamentally wrong.
Either the cops are incredibly competent (likely)
did you mean to say incompetent? (genuine question)
Lmao yes. Most cops are incompetent, pretty sure it’s a requirement
ah okay thank you for clarifying. i completely agree, just wanted to make sure i understood your original comment correctly.
Don Pardo, what do we have as lovely parting gifts for our widow?
Welllll… Mrs. Dead Guy will receive this space-saving twin bed, and a year’s supply of Rice-a-Roni!
What’s it’s matter about the address. We are talking about a weed eater. Chill the fuck out.
Ah, but the weed eater belonged to a judge. It wasn’t because he stole something valuable; It was because he stole from someone important.
Ok, Judge, chill the fuck out. It’s a fuckin weed eater you psycho.
He didn’t steal anything they had the thief. It was a recovery operation. You know it’s dangerous getting a weed eater from someone who doesn’t know they have it.
Why did they even do anything? Whenever something is stolen from I get told there is nothing they can do but take a report.
I’m sure “judges weed eater” had nothing to do with the enhanced police response. /s
Yeah, police are unwilling to do anything about vandalism in my neighborhood, smashed windows on homes and cars, 20+ smashed windows, everyone knows exactly who is doing it to the kid who goes around trying to jump kids in the area half their size and has been caught and witnesses red handed multiple times, ‘‘aww jeez guys, looks like… there’s nothing we can do…’’ useless.
You can hurt him bad enough to where he stops
We all bought ring doorbells with the nifty "YOU HAVE ACTIVATED A CAMERA! YOU ARE BEING RECORDED!‘’ on it, and people must be turning in videos because they blanketed the whole area in ‘‘General Warning to everyone, you can be evicted if your children vandalize or break into any apartment used or not’’ which really feels like a lawyer recommended move to make sure they can point to something and say ‘‘see it’s the same rules for everyone and everyone was told not just that one family’’
More importantly, did they get the weed eater back? /s
There was no weed eater there because they had the WRONG HOUSE
The police didn’t get the weed eater back however they did get to kill someone. That’s a win for the police.
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
I mean, the article plainly says that the weed eater belonged to a local judge.
This dude wasn’t executed because of what he was accused of stealing. He was executed because of who he was accused of stealing it from.
I can almost guarantee that some police higher-up is getting a free/cheap piece of “forfeited” property in the coming weeks.
The thief was in custody. They where just going to where the guy stashed it. Like why couldn’t they roll up in a patrol car and knock.
I know, that’s why I said accused. The dude didn’t steal anything, but was still killed.
No, it’s right there in the story. The weed eater belonged to a judge, so obviously someone’s gonna pay.
Death penalty for the cops, life in prison for the judge?
If only. Man, if only there were some Mario Bros that could handle something like this. They hate the forces of evil.
Even if it was the correct home. They killed the guy over a fucking weed eater. Even if he’d been violent back off and fucking let things cool down. Grab him when he goes for groceries or something. Fuck.
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.
you know, I just now realized it was a weed eater and not a weed eater
Perhaps Weedeater were hanging out with the judge and he kidnapped them? Just kidding, Weedeater would never hang out with a judge.
It sounds like the judge and police were working together to execute someone. I really can’t tell incompetence from pure evil anymore.
Yep, Stand Your Ground Kentucky.
ACAB
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.
Fuck pigs
So they wanted to kill this man and decided to use this flimsy excuse? I mean WTF?
What are Kentucky police doing in London? Far from home
Nothing much, just killing some people.
Which is a typical day for the police.
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?
He might have been armed with a weed eater!
Peace officer goes over this pretty well.
wtf but hey it was swiped from a judge. what a sad story
