Investigators: Police went to wrong home, shot resident, dog and 'likely' shot fellow officer

[SlyPokerDog]

ATLANTA – Investigators say police officers who arrived at the wrong metro Atlanta home for a report of suspicious activity shot the man who lives there and "likely" shot one of their own, leaving him seriously wounded.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation officials said DeKalb County police received a report of a suspicious person Monday night in a southeast Atlanta neighborhood where many of the single-story homes look similar.

They said police entered the back of a house, where two officers shot a dog and officers also shot the resident in the leg when he exited a room off the kitchen. That man, whose name was not released, returned home early Tuesday but declined to comment.

A police officer was shot in the hip and listed in serious condition at Grady Memorial Hospital.

I can't even begin to tell you how pissed I would be if the police illegally entered my home and killed my dog.

They didn't just shoot the dog, they shot the owner of the house and a fellow police officer. Pretty much if it moved they shot it.

Honestly, if cops come in shooting like that, I would feel zero sympathy if they were to be shot and killed by the owner of the home in self defense.

I would also go John Wick if this happened

Over-armed cowards amped on adrenaline and gawd knows what else.

I am beginning to believe that cops need to be drug tested after EVERY encounter that turns violent.

So thinking this is the right house and they are looking for a burglar, did they think he took his dog out on jobs?

Here's the problem:

Not to say all cops are on the juice, but this is a "thing."
