FB post from the guy who called 9-1-1 (I tried to edit in paragraph breaks)

9 hrs · Atlanta, GA · Shaking trying to type this right now. I was out walking my dog Diego. I live on a dead end street, walking towards the cul-de-sac. There is a man a ways in front of me (saw him walk into the neighborhood) that walks to the farthest house at the end of the street, knocks on the front door, and then kind of just stands in the front yard for a few mins. Seems a little sketch considering I have seen the house owner before and it was't him and there have been several reported break-ins down that way.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt however (maybe he walked to the store, locked out, etc) and turned around and started walking back towards my house. Diego stops to sniff something and I turn around and now the guy is nowhere to be seen. I then hear a loud sound and then dogs barking. I stand around a second and don't see anyone come out.

Kind of concerned at this point I call 911 and describe the house at the end of the cul-de-sac as well as the 50 year old black male and what he was wearing. I also told them that I wasn't sure anything was actually going on, and I wasn't trying to get anyone in trouble, but I felt like something wasn't right.

A few minutes later I am getting back to the house (opposite the cul-de-sac, towards the entrance of our street) in front of my front door, when I heard 5 or 6 gunshots very close by and heard a woman screaming. Turned around and saw blue police lights already flashing and people yelling. I fumbled my keys and went inside, terrified. About a min or two later I peek my head outside and see one of my neighbors about 3 houses down (opposite direction from my walk) holding his leg and yelling something to the effect of "You killed my dog!" and "You shot me in my own house! Meanwhile the wife of the man was clutching their one year old child, hysterically walking down the street to a neighbors house.

More cops come in, shotguns blazing. Cops running everywhere at this point. Meanwhile the wife is crying and telling the neighbors across from me what had happened. The frantic young wife was obviously furious and scared as she described cops coming in their back door and shooting her husband and shooting and killing their dog.

An officer stayed with the man (white, young 30s) while he was still up the street in his own driveway, clutching his leg where he had been shot by the officer. According to neighbors during the chaos, an officer accidentally shot another officer. Both were taken away from the scene in an ambulance.

I was later interviewed by a detective and provided them my full testimony since my 911 call was the call that the police were responding to. the Associated Press who requested to talk to me on the phone. (They were able to reach me because Ronnie my girlfriend was not able to get home after work and was talking to me on the phone outside of the neighborhood and the reporter asked to talk to me.) I did this because already on the news they were spinning the story.

There was a report of a "manhunt" and a search for a "suspect". The "suspect" (or at least the suspicious person I called the cops on at the other end of the neighborhood) came walking back up to the crime scene shortly after. After speaking to him I realized that he was the person I had seen and he said he was trying to get someone to pay him for cutting their grass. I feel awful because I explicitly said on the 911 call that I was unsure if anything was actually going on but I had a bad feeling after hearing the loud noise and dogs barking, especially with all the recent break-ins. The cops actually never interviewed him (which at that point I don't think it mattered because it seemed pretty clear he hadn't stolen something or done anything wrong and walked up the street to a crime scene to talk about it).

I am writing this partly as catharsis because I feel terrible that this all happened as a result. I'm also writing this because the news and media are already spinning this story to say that a police officer was shot in the line of duty while responding to a burglary call. While I give them credit for owning up to the fact that it was the wrong house (albeit presumably after I had given testimony to Associated Press), what they fail to highlight in this clickbait link is that this man who was sitting in his own house watching a movie with his wife was shot in the leg and his dog was murdered in his own house with his new baby in the house.

The story is not "Let's all feel sympathetic for the cop that just killed a family's dog and and shot the unarmed homeowner in his own home." I want to say first off that I know a cops job is very hard and I respect the job and the men and women serving when they do it the right way. This was NOT the right way. I explicitly said a house at the end of the cul-de-sac yet the media said the house "matched the description". I never even gave them an address. If you hear news telling you different they are manipulating the story.

Wow this all happened because someone called 911 on a black guy who was breaking no laws. Why is it reasonable for a person breaking no laws to be stopped questioned, ID'd, searched and checked for warrants because someone considers them suspicious?

Well it seems to be reasonable for cops to turn up at every call with itchy trigger fingers and an attitude.
The guy who called 911 told them he wasn't sure anything was going on, just didn't feel right.
Dumb cops should have just turned up and knocked on the friggin' door.

Record everything

Sadly, suspected daytime burglary may be too minor of an offense to risk calling the cops these days.

I kind of wish newspapers would be more direct in calling people out on their bull than this round about

Wait but DS' link said they're not activists, they're just "black slime". And it was a black guy saying it so it must be true.

2nd least dangerous year for cops in 25 years? That just means the "open season on cops" has been going on for 25+ years ldo.

Video of James Blake getting tackled/arrested by an NYPD thug is pretty bad. No wonder those clowns have had to pay out half a billion dollars in settlements since 2010, if that's how they arrest people suspected of non-violent crimes.

But hey, at least Blake didn't get choked to death.

That's not allowed, because he's only 1/2 black.

Dear FBI,

Try learning about the advanced technology you accuse people of giving to China.

No kidding, wtf?!?!

So tilting. And then you hear that this cop has a history of beating people up for fun.

About that war on police...

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/09/16...th-ill-police/

This guy definitely needs fired at the least. Even if Blake was guilty of credit card fraud he did not need to be choked and thrown down. I'd have no problem giving that POS cop a year for assault but he'll get nothing.

And she's gone

NYPD Union Chief: Critics of James Blake Arrest are "Un-American"

Thugs gonna thug.

Blake did not resist in any way. What this idiot is saying the cops have the right to walk up to someone choke them and slam them to the ground preemptively because they might resist.

Hey, unless you've been a cop, you can't judge!

Who watches the watchmen?

I just don't understand how things like this are still happening in our society. Anger, sadness, incredulity, impotent. Will things really change in our lifetime?

Good 'ol local cops

Cliffs: Off duty cop pesters coach and referee all game, coach says something back, the off duty cop calls the cops and man-handles her saying he wants her arrested for profanity, cops arrive and and shrug it off, the coach leaves and arrives at another game to find that the cops from the city the off duty cop is from has issued a criminal trespass against her so she can't coach the new game, and then two months later she gets an evading arrest charge for heading to the new game.
