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.

What are Kentucky police doing in London? Far from home
Nothing much, just killing some people.
Which is a typical day for the police.
Fuck pigs
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.
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!
More importantly, did they get the weed eater back? /s
The police didn’t get the weed eater back however they did get to kill someone. That’s a win for the police.
There was no weed eater there because they had the WRONG HOUSE
Is this the only profession that lets you make consistent fatal errors with impunity? I really can’t think of another.
CEO?
Except that’s not ussually by error.
This was also perhaps not an error.
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.
The cops deserve to reap what they sowed.
But they won’t. Qualified immunity, which means they can and will murder with impunity.
They sow death so they deserve to reap death. Legality is not a factor in my proposition.
It was stolen from a judge. So the police treated it as important. You know, the same as when a rich person is harmed
A lot of people have proven self defense against police breaking into their home and attacking him. Legally speaking.
Which is why they go all the way. Can’t prove self defense if you’re dead.
wtf but hey it was swiped from a judge. what a sad story
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.
Why the fuck do they need to raid any house for a fucking weed eater!? That is serious small time shit.
It was the Judge’s weed eater.
Maybe because it was a judge’s weed eater
Or a CEOs gardener.

And the thief was already in custody. He had “stored” the weed eater at the address they were supposed to be searching (er, raiding), meaning whoever would have been present there wasn’t even the thief.
The whole raid and SWAT tactics are insanely ineffective and deadly. Before that detectives would just come by in the day time and knock and be like ‘we have a warrant’.
Because we train cops to kill and give them military surplus and they’re just itching to use it.
fuckin’ misdemeanor shit, stealing something under $1000. This judge ordered his little goon squad to seek vengeance and retribution on anyone who would dare steal from someone of his stature. No warrant, doubt they even announced themselves as police. They killed a man over a fucking used weed whacker. Raided his home in the middle of the night and killed an innocent American citizen over fucking nothing.
hey judge your cops just stole a mans life, you gonna go seek vengeance and retribution again?
Yep, Stand Your Ground Kentucky.
Why does the article give a street address??? Wtf?
Home addresses are not private information.
Drop your home address then.
Your mom’s house
1060 West Addison

If you know who he is IRL easy enough to find. But you know when are on a semi anonymous board so…
So you agree it’s private?
1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC
Confirmed, Joe Biden is a Beta male.
I would consider them to be private information.
they used to be published in books you know? it’s generally a thing that can be searched easily if you have someone’s name and municipality.
That has as far as I know always been a very optional thing.
What people publish online themselves of course becomes public.
You can still look up people’s addresses if you know which websites to use. Most municipalities offer it as an online service. Your address is hardly as hard to find as you’d think - it takes some doing, and knowing the right websites, but you can do it pretty easy.
And you can go look up who owns the houses in city halls. All the information is open to the public.
So what? They aren’t.
In the Netherlands at least it is considered personal private information by law. It is in many other jurisdictions as well, including the US actually. Just because few people take the steps to protect it doesn’t make it any less personal nor private information.
The amount of people who don’t understand this is insane to me. “But you can find it easily.” Does that make it okay to just broadcast to everyone? 🙄
What do you get out of being deliberately obtuse?
Saying your address is public information is being deliberately obtuse. Share yours right fucking now if you disagree. If you don’t share it, you agree they’re different.
It’s not private though you know you can look up people by name on-sites. Can find whoever purchased any house you want. And we used to have things called phone books
Drop you name, phone number, and address then!
All of those are information people voluntarily submit. It is fairly trivial to make sure your address is no longer findable like that.
Addresses are public record.
Information that is public record isn’t private.
Public ≠ private
Do you see how that works?Also,
in the Netherlands
I get it, they’re called the nether lands because they are far away from—and not relevant to—what’s being discussed: Kentucky.
Well, it’s only fair we make the judge’s address public too!
ACAB
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.
So they wanted to kill this man and decided to use this flimsy excuse? I mean WTF?
