Re: Mississippi Cops shoot man at wrong address

I think part of this problem is of your own doing. We have allow the Police to act as if they are of a separate class from the general public. They are in fact civilian just like all of us and should be treated as such. The Police are actually referred to as a "Civilian Police Force" by the the Military. Just because they have chosen Policing as their profession should not give them additional protections from the law. Police will lie and alter reports in order to protect fellow Officers. These Officers should be relieved of duty and prosecuted (we need to weed them out). We should be concerned with Justice, not covering reputations. I have known Officer who have bragged about perjuring themselves ( under oath) in order to further "their" form of justice. I have known East Tx Officers who have bragged about shooting Blacks. We need to have the intestinal fortitude to hold the Police accountable. As previously said I have know salt of the earth Officers and scum as bad as any criminal. We need to break up the "boys in blue" club and hold everyone to the same standards.

Ismael Lopez and his wife, Claudia Linares, were asleep inside their house across the street from Pearson when officers arrived.

Linares said her husband went to the door to see what was happening outside. That's when she heard gunshots and by the time she reached her husband, he was already dead.

"Bullet holes suggest they shot through the door," Wells said.

Officers said Lopez came to the door pointing a gun at them. Those officers claim to have asked Lopez multiple times to drop the gun before they started shooting.

But, neighbors said they didn't hear anything like that.

"I didn't hear yelling," neighbor Nicholas Tramel said.

Tramel's room is right next to the Lopez home. He said he never heard police tell Lopez to put his rifle down.

Wells implied that officers had reasons not to tell the truth in their account of what happened. Namely, because they could face consequences for shooting Lopez. He also said that Claudia, who was the only one on the property who could not be held responsible for shooting Lopez, did not hear any commands or instructions being given. In addition, Wells said Lopez never pointed a gun at the officers.

"There was a gun on the premises, but the man did not have the gun with him when police shot him," he said.

Wells said Claudia Lopez wants justice and for the world to know that her husband was a good man.
I understand the widow has hired an attorney. And I understand that attorneys do not always tell the truth. But if this is a true account somebody should be in jail. I support our LEO's, and have great respect for the job they do. But, they are not above the law.
Attorneys may not always tell the truth. However, LEOs are not above fabricating a story to cover their 6s......has been proven time after time.
