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.

    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.

        I know, that’s why I said accused. The dude didn’t steal anything, but was still killed.
