A confidential informant told police a drug dealer lived there, but the resident was actually a father who didn't know officers were trying to get in his home, Prince George's County Police Chief Hank Stawinski said during a news conference Thursday.

No one thinks we live in a totalitarian country yet? Where your neighbors can turn you in on some bogus infraction.

And this war on drugs...

"The investigation corroborates his account that he did not know that there were police officers trying to enter his residence. I believe that and I know that to be true,"

Translation:

We didn't identify ourselves as cops, putting everybody involved in increased danger just to modestly improve our chances of catching the guy with a drug charge.

Remember the good old days when we were brave enough to break up teenage scraps by stepping in between the kids? Now we pepper spray them and kick the f*** out of their backs while they're subdued.

"Attorney Bill Pickett, who is representing the teen in a claim against the city, thinks an independent group should do the investigation. "What they need is a citizen review panel put together in this community and hold these people accountable when there's misconduct instead of the police saying 'We'll investigate it ourselves,'" he tells the Yakima Herald.

Jones disagrees, telling the paper that "third-party oversight of every use of force investigation would be problematic." He does, however, tout a review team "composed of components outside the department."

Hmmmmm, I wonder why he's worried about that?

Yep I don’t think the cops have done a single thing wrong so far in this instance. They investigate..... suspend them like they are suppose too.....I am sure they probably have to deal with the police union and show why this person needs to be terminated.... even when it seems like the cops are doing the right thing (so far)..... people still complain about it.

Nashville Cop Charged With Criminal Homicide for Shooting Man in the Back as He Fled

Delke's arrest warrant describes what happened in the lead-up to the shooting. Delke, a member of a stolen vehicles task force, was on patrol when he encountered a Chevrolet Impala at an intersection. Both Delke and the Impala had stopped at stop signs, but the Impala "conceded the right of way by not pulling in front of him," the warrant says.

This made Delke "suspicious," and when the Impala eventually continued on its way, the warrant says he "followed behind it." Delke ran the Impala's license plate and discovered it was not stolen. "Nevertheless, because Officer Delke understood that part of the Task Force directive was to make traffic stops, he continued to follow to see if he could develop a reason to stop the Impala," according to the warrant.

Delke continued following the car, and at one point turned on his police lights. The Impala didn't pull over, so he turned his lights off and kept following it "from a distance" until he "lost track" of the car," the warrant says. He drove around searching for it, and eventually found a different four-door sedan that he "mistook" for the Impala. Delke pulled up near the car, at which point one of the "individuals in the area," Hambrick, started to run away. Police have previously saidHambrick was in the car before he started running.

Yeah, I’m normally one to defend the cops but I can’t see any reason why he had to follow him. People have conceded their turns to me at stop signs. It’s not just some cop thing.

I’m ok with cops running plates any time they get the feeling they should.

Shooting unarmed suspects in the back because they ran is a different matter all together.
