Kentucky dispatchers repeatedly told police officers the address of a house they were supposed to raid over an alleged stolen Weed Eater, only for the cops to raid the wrong home and kill the man inside.
But the man who police say admitted to stealing the Weed Eater from a home of a local judge had already been in custody prior to the deadly raid that took place minutes before midnight last month, according to WLEX. That man told police he had stored the stolen Weed Eater at a home at 489 Vanzant Road which is a rural area outside of London city limits.

The one part I as a non-American don’t understand about this is: Is America not supposed to be a free country? Why the hell do you have people who can kill anyone with no repercussions? What the hell happened to the rule of law? And, more importantly, why the actual fuck is the whole country not up in arms over this?
We were never a free country in any sense like you’re describing. That’d just our own internal propaganda.
I agree with your last statement. There are countless reasons I can’t understand why people aren’t burning this country to the ground. Especially those further in poverty and struggling to just get by.
I still am shocked Occupy Wall Street wasn’t more violent. It probably needed to be.
The reason we haven’t burt it down is because the ones in power are really good at making the ignorant masses hate each other. Even during covid people were pissed off that unemployed people were getting a little extra help, when business owners were raking in PPE loans. Instead of focusing that anger where it really belongs. Half the country hates minorities and trans people, the other half hate maga. When instead, we should all be focusing on the bezos and musks and guillotines.
Man, RATM had it figured out in 1992. 😬
Now I got no patience
So sick of complacence
With the D, the E, the F, the I, the A, the N, the C, the E
Mind of a revolutionary, so clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What? The “land of the free”?
Whoever told you that is your enemy
I wish it hadn’t taken 30 more years before I realized how right they were.
Brother Ali says it even better:
They keep sayin’ we’re free
But we’re all just loose
wtf but hey it was swiped from a judge. what a sad story
What the fuck does a stolen weed eater require a home raid? Like WTF.
Cops like to charge others for extra crimes when they eff something up, so now they will charge the guy who stole the weed eater from the judge with murder. And Kentucky has capital punishment…
A weed eater stolen from a judges home. Judges and cops worship each other. To cops its like someone stole god’s weed eater.
This happened in a state where the majority of residents (especially in these rural areas) feel everyone should be armed for protection. They are also overwhelmingly in favor of aggressive police tactics so when I see a rural man defending himself and being shot for it by police I can’t help but sigh. I mean, anyone with half a brain could see these situations coming. Do we really need to use swat teams for non violent property crimes?
Peace officer goes over this pretty well.
He might have been armed with a weed eater!
“Oh don’t like the cops? I guess the next time you’re in trouble you’ll call a crackhead?”
That does seem to have a better survival rate
If given the option of where my tax money would go, I’d give crackheads a try at this point, yes.
Worst case scenario, we’ll learn new recycling habits, like using old coke cans as bowls.
No joke, my boyfriend actually used an old Coca-Cola can to smoke weed out of because he forgot that I owned a couple of actual pipes.
I mean he’s not that bright, at least he doesn’t seem too bright, but then he pulls some shit like that and I feel kinda dumb and sorry for misjudging him.
I guess what Einstein said is true, if you judge a fish based on its ability to fly or a bird on its ability to swim, you’ll think they’re both worthless idiots. Not exactly what he said mind you, but that was the sentiment.

I like it. I’ll be stealing that to talk about centrists not understand how they lost the election. :-) Will follow your comments for more.
They would definitely steal less
I know 3 crackheads right now that would handle things with a much cooler head than the police here. And that is not an exaggeration.
This is a repeat post, so I’ll repeat one of my replies partially: I wouldn’t be surprised if a suddenly vacant lot wouldn’t suddenly be auctioned off to a cop’s relative in areas with a high predominance of this. Read up on civil asset forfeiture as well. In some places, cops are basically legalized mafias.
Yet another reason to have minimum 2-3 year federal training program and licensing to work law enforcement, add it to the pile
It sounds like the judge and police were working together to execute someone. I really can’t tell incompetence from pure evil anymore.
Seems likely that the guy who actually stole the weed eater and was already in police custody will now get charged with murder in some kind of weird police logic.
ACAB
What’s it’s matter about the address. We are talking about a weed eater chill the fuck out.
Ah, but the weed eater belonged to a judge. It wasn’t because he stole something valuable; It was because he stole from someone important.
He didn’t steal anything they had the thief. It was a recovery operation. You know it’s dangerous getting a weed eater from someone who doesn’t know they have it.
Ok, Judge chill the fuck out. It’s a fuckin weed eater you psycho.
Why did they even do anything? Whenever something is stolen from I get told there is nothing they can do but take a report.
Yeah, police are unwilling to do anything about vandalism in my neighborhood, smashed windows on homes and cars, 20+ smashed windows, everyone knows exactly who is doing it to the kid who goes around trying to jump kids in the area half their size and has been caught and witnesses red handed multiple times, ‘‘aww jeez guys, looks like… there’s nothing we can do…’’ useless.
You can hurt him bad enough to where he stops
I’m sure “judges weed eater” had nothing to do with the enhanced police response. /s
This dude got executed by a death squad.
Either the cops are incredibly competent (likely) or they intentionally raided the wrong home as an excuse to kill this man, perhaps under judges orders.
When you can’t tell if police killed someone through staggering incompetence or deliberate malice… something is fundamentally wrong.
Either the cops are incredibly competent (likely)
did you mean to say incompetent? (genuine question)
Lmao yes. Most cops are incompetent, pretty sure it’s a requirement
ah okay thank you for clarifying. i completely agree, just wanted to make sure i understood your original comment correctly.
More importantly, did they get the weed eater back? /s
There was no weed eater there because they had the WRONG HOUSE
The police didn’t get the weed eater back however they did get to kill someone. That’s a win for the police.
There is more to this story that we will never know. You raid a home over a stolen fucking weed eater. Gross abuse of power by someone
I mean, the article plainly says that the weed eater belonged to a local judge.
This dude wasn’t executed because of what he was accused of stealing. He was executed because of who he was accused of stealing it from.
I can almost guarantee that some police higher-up is getting a free/cheap piece of “forfeited” property in the coming weeks.
The thief was in custody. They where just going to where the guy stashed it. Like why couldn’t they roll up in a patrol car and knock.
Even if it was the correct home. They killed the guy over a fucking weed eater. Even if he’d been violent back off and fucking let things cool down. Grab him when he goes for groceries or something. Fuck.
No, it’s right there in the story. The weed eater belonged to a judge, so obviously someone’s gonna pay.
Death penalty for the cops, life in prison for the judge?
If only. Man, if only there were some Mario Bros that could handle something like this. They hate the forces of evil.
Don Pardo, what do we have as lovely parting gifts for our widow?
Welllll… Mrs. Dead Guy will receive this space-saving twin bed, and a year’s supply of Rice-a-Roni!
