The homeowner told police the two men said they were police and claimed they were at the home to serve a warrant.
[The homeowner] became suspicious, because, you know, they have a ring camera too, and the suspects were saying they had a warrant, but it was just two people and they’re masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that," said Lt. Khan with HPD.
At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire.
The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.
Some cops actually wear ski mask-type stuff like that when they do sting operations. Seen it myself a few times.
I want to be clear that the ski mask cops I have seen actually had badges or uniforms or some kind of identification on their person.
Badges and “identification” can be bought at dollar stores.
Nobody is going to be able to check their authenticity in the middle of a firefight, and by the time you let criminals enter your house to show you their “ID”, it’s already too late.
“Police said the two men were wearing bulletproof vests and had some sort of badge around their necks.”
The Nazis want badges alone to be enough of a signifier, but frankly anyone trying to break into your home without presenting identification and a warrant should be treated as a threat.
Maybe this could be a warning sign to those cops that they shouldn’t do that, or they might be shot.
Oh, who am I kidding. That just means cops in ski masks will shoot first more often.
Yeah, they want to turn the temperature up. If they can just start shooting brown people on sight, it’d make everything easier.
ICE agents wear masks more often than not, from what I can tell.
Know your rights!
