Florida police shoot and kill the wrong man after knocking on the wrong door.

Don’t you feel safer? Florida police shoot and kill the wrong man after knocking on the wrong door.

The police did not identify themselves, and began firing when the man opened his door holding a gun.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Someone pounds on my door at 1:30am and I’m answering the door with a gun too.

    Cops have the right to protect themselves but they are also supposed to be professionals. There are risks that come with the job and they should be professional and composed when facing those risks.

    People have the right to bear arms and LEO’s should be prepared to encounter law abiding citizens that have firearms. This is especially true when they surprise people in their own homes in the middle of the night.

    What LEO’s shouldn’t do when they see a gun is freak out like little girls.

    This crap has got to stop.

    It is time we did something about these no knock warrants and non identifying break ins.

    If the cops thought about this beforehand they could have handled things different. They could have watched the residence and the bike until morning.
    Or they could have surrounded the residence and announced their intentions.

    But no, common sense is not common. At least not in cops of late.

    They should put all of the PIGS involved in pirson so the arogant bastards can get raped by some of the people they have allready framed or set up. JERK OFFS!!!! I wish there was an open season on those above the law bullies. Well , soon enough the Ass hole running or should I say ruinning america will cause the collapse of this once great nation and when national chaos inssues he will declare marshal law. That’s when we will all have our justice on the so called “law inforcment”.
