You're Lucky I Didn't [expletive] Shoot You

Another case of police going to the wrong house and endangering an innocent person. Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich  is quoted as saying ”You don’t pound on a door, open it and slam it that way. Put yourself in the deputies’ position.” Maybe he should consider the position of innocent people minding their own business at home who are confronted with strangers sneaking around ther property.

From KREM.com:

“Just trying to enjoy my evening. All the sudden, I see a flashlight shining through my doors…” said Guerrero. “I’m thinking this could be a dangerous situation for me.”

Guerrero said he assumed the two men outside his house were burglars.

“I come over to my door and I slap it to say hey someone is in this house and they’re not going to let you come in here.”

He said he then got the scare of his life.

“Right as soon as I opened this door, and it’s dark outside – it’s very dark and all I can see is a pistol.”

As Conner ran for cover, he heard a man yell ‘Sheriff’s Office’ and asking him to come out. Guerrero said he immediately complied.

“I’m wondering why the hell is a gun being pointed at me right now!”

Conner said the deputies accused him of being an intruder on his own home.

“They directed me to take a knee, well both knees,” he said. “The gun [was] still drawn.

The deputies then reportedly took his ID, proving Guerrero lived there.

But he claimed when the mistake was realized, he was the one apologizing while the deputy said something that gave him chills.

“’You’re lucky I didn’t [expletive] shoot you,’” Conner said.
