The shooting took place on April 5, 2023, when Farmington police officers, Daniel Estrada, Dylan Goodluck and Waylon Wasson, who were responding to a domestic violence call around 11:30 p.m. local time mistakenly, went to Dotson's home -- approaching house number 5305 instead of 5308, state police said, at the time.

So what if he was armed He had every reason to be. Banging on his door late at night?
ReplyDeleteJust' cause they are cops doesn't mean the get to shoot anyone they think MIGHT be a threat.
They just did. Sad to say.
DeleteYet another example of why "The Thin Blue Line" isn't the force for good that they claim they are.
ReplyDeleteThose fine public servants went right back to work, protecting and serving.
ReplyDeleteThe family's retribution should be easy enough now that the state has chosen sides.
I totally agree with your statement...
DeleteJD
Absolutely. The State had the chance to do the Right Thing.
DeleteNow it is the family and friends turn.
A licence to kill...
ReplyDeleteThat "To Serve And Protect" motto on police cars doesn't apply to us, it's to protect the state and their paycheck and pensions.

"...reasonable, appropriate and consistent with generally accepted police practices."
ReplyDeleteSo, shouting "Oh shit, hey, heads up" is the accepted practice before lighting up homeowners in their own doorway?
I hope this family utterly bankrupts the Municipality for decades.
You citizens get the memo yet?

To, uhm, vote? HARD!
DeleteAs far as I'm concerned, going to the wrong address puts these "professionals" in the wrong to start with and there's no defense.
ReplyDeleteI think the problem started before that. Putting the rookie in the driver's seat and telling him to go to the third house on the left, then not saying dick when he pulls up to the third (or ANY) house on the fucking right less than 5 seconds later, tells us the IQ range we're dealing with here. These 2 shouldn't even be corrections officers in a halfway house.
DeleteNot to mention that even if they had gone to the correct address, and even if the guy answering the door was guilty of some sort of domestic assault, immediately shooting him 12 times with zero warning would have indicate a problem.
This is why moats were invented. And barbed wire. And 500m putting green illuminated kill zones. With a little yellow call box with a big sign over it.....
ReplyDeleteIf they aren't going to be charged because clearly they are dyslexic, then they need to be fired, and have their driver's licenses permanently suspended because they can't fucking see straight.
ReplyDeleteYou can go to a City Directory or the county's GIS website to verify. Obviously, these 3 didn't. They & their Watch Commander, should go to jail for negligent manslaughter.
ReplyDeleteSo lessee here...If I have done nothing wrong and a cop comes up to my door wearing a gun, and using their logic, I get to shoot them because I deem them a threat? I mean, that's the logic they used here, right?
ReplyDeleteThis is gonna be interesting.
#Defundthepolice. it's the only way to stop this
ReplyDeleteYes, we all saw what happened when your leftist cities defunded the police. Now they're all screaming about rampant crime.
DeleteWe have reached...and long passed...that point where actual justice can be had. For huge numbers of "special" people in America there is absolutely no legal accountability anymore.
ReplyDeleteTo receive true justice citizens must now resort to extrajudicial means.
I hope they appeal the decision and win.
ReplyDeleteThey weren't even on the right side of the road. Cops aren't hired for their brains, but it doesn't take much brainpower to realize that you don't look for # 5305 on the even-numbered side of the road.
