No, all my friends say "kill out". I'm surprised your friends don't say "kill out". Everyone says it, it's a really popular phrase. Obviously the problem is with you.

Not even. Homeowner was apparently unarmed and was not defending himself.

According to the initial reports about the GBI investigation and neighbor witness

3 officers approached the front of the house and tried to make contact with the residence. No answer.
They go to the back, and find the door unlocked.
They enter, find the dog in the kitchen, and shoot it (no word about what the dog was doing or how it was acting).
The home owner enters the kitchen from another room to find out what was happening, and is shot as well.
Somehow, an officer is shot pretty badly (in the thigh, lost lots of blood). But not by the homeowner, by one of the other officers.

The neighbor says the homeowner ran out of the house yelling "They just shot me, they just shot me and they killed my dog, Why did they shoot me? Why did they shoot my dog?".

Wow, blue-on-blue casualty. That's almost as good. Still doesn't beat arresting the man who legally shot and killed the jack-booted thugs who broke into his home with no warning. On the faulty tip of a known burglar who had previously been chased out of the same house.

Don't suppose you could provide a source with some details? Yours are a bit vague.

I'd have to look it up, but...*sigh* you know how it is. There are a bunch of these cases, which I find rather dismaying.

I'm just curious because I've found that most of the time, when you start looking up the details of these sorts of incidents, they aren't quite the clear cut cases of abuse of police authority that they're made out to be. Yeah, the cops do ***** up, royally sometimes. But they are usually quite good at making it as abundantly clear that they are the police as they possibly can, doubly so when barging into someone's home, pretty much precisely to avoid the sort of situation you described. Those "jack booted thugs" are people too. They have friends, wives, family, and children. They have every vested interest in returning to them safely. The last thing they want to do is get into a shootout with someone, so anything they can do to avoid that situation, they will. The only thing failing to loudly yell "police!" over and over when engaging in these operations can accomplish is add "home resident thinking he's being invaded by criminals" to the list of people who might start shooting at them.

So you'll have to forgive me if I take with a grain of salt claims that they never identified themselves. It's the first thing every single cop does when put into an even remotely dangerous situation where weapons may be employed. Doesn't rule out the possibility of a failure to communicate that to someone, but "cops didn't even bother to identify themselves" is well down the list of reasons that may have happened IMO.

No-knock warrants by definition kind of work by intruding the place by surprise. The cops don't generaly identify themselves until after the door is forced open. You can see how this might cause problems, right?

The problem is that in other countries, Cops don't seem to have these kinds of issues. The training, approach, whatever seems to prevent it. So a confusing situation shouldn't immediately mean someone gets shot, but in the US that seems to be the norm. The fact that someone potentially did something stupid and made the situation more complicated shouldn't stop us from being very very concerned with the number of shootings by police and shouldn't stop us from trying to actually do something about it.

It (Edit: Brindle Boxer) was described as big, affectionate, and playful so safe money would be that it jumped at the cops in the dark, whether playfully or defensively is so far up in the air.

If only the resident had a gun, he could have prevented intruders from entering his home.

Well, how about this one? Police lieutenant is briefed about an undercover drug bust and approaches his department's unmarked car during the bust, opens the rear door, and shoots an undercover detective that he's worked with in the past, who was wearing certain clothing that the early morning briefing made clear was being worn by the undercover officers (the lieutenant missed the briefing though, in his defense. /s), and as the undercover officer tries to crawl to the other side of the car while asking the lieutenant to please stop shooting, the lieutenant then continues shooting until he runs out of ammunition. One bullet injures another officer behind the "target" and this is pointed out in the subsequent lawsuit which notes that the lieutenant was also a firearm instructor for the department and should have known to be aware of what was behind his "target." Meanwhile, on the other side of the unmarked car, the targets of the drug bust were being arrested without incident. For being in possession of $60.00 worth of drugs.

Here are two local news stories that have most of the facts, you can dig deeper on your own if you want to try and show that this is one of those situations that "aren't quite the clear cut cases of abuse of police authority that they're made out to be."

Oh, and let me save you the trouble:

Yes, you did say that. But it seems that now that we have everyone carrying a video camera in their pocket, the police can no longer falsely claim the innocent person they shot was pointing a gun at them. It seems they **** up royally a lot more than "sometimes."

And take your "They have every vested interest in returning to them safely" and stick it in your innocent people have a vested interest in not being shot by a trigger happy sociopath with borderline-average intellect.
