Alright, so much wrong here.

1. Seems unlikely they had a warrant as they kept requesting the address, despite supposedly having a warrant that always lists an address on it.
2. Went to the wrong address anyway, despite the fact it would be listed on the warrant if it exists and dispatch repeating it to them half a dozen times (and 489 and 511 addresses would likely be on different blocks).
3. The address in question was outside of their jurisdiction, meaning they have zero right to police there unless they're in active pursuit.
4. They had the theif in custody and were, presumably, just searching for and retrieving the stolen goods, yet this search somehow became a "raid".
5. Broke into an innocent old man's home at midnight, and murdered him for being armed.
6. The stolen good in question was a fucking lawn tool. But it was owned by a judge. I have zero doubt that the escalated response was motivated by an entitled power-tripping judge and a bunch of cops excited to be given the go ahead to bust some shit up.

Someone needs to lose a job for this, and hopefully see jail time too. Such an abuse of power and complete incompetence.

The "wrong man" bit is just an additional layer of evil really - it's not as if they could've killed the "right man" over a stolen weed eater.

stolen weed eater....

meanwhile how many thousands of rape kits sit on the shelf for years before (if ever) being processed?

You know, this sort of thing would be way less likely if cops weren’t armed with guns. Or cops were completely abolished.

It took me a while to figure out weed eater was not a stoner that just had some edibles.

Considering how often they keep getting away with it, this is how you order a hit on someone you know no one is going to miss. Wait for the barest semblance of an excuse, and then treat them as a dangerous criminal. This probably isn't what happened, but this is also why you make sure to punish the people who make this messes and make sure they are never in any position of leadership ever again.
