Bewildered: I find it ironic you mention that the dispatcher should have instructed the complainant to remain inside his home… Did you not see how well that worked in the T. Martin case????

TO ANYONE WHO THINKS the neighbor was wrong to call Law Enforcement… I would hope my neighbors WOULD call if it was my home, even if it is me in my own car. The complainant obviously could not identify the individual as belonging.

Thank you LEO’s for what you do every day, its sad and tragic for all involved and I understand and support the decisions of the Deputies.

Folks, ALWAYS keep your hands CLEARLY VISIBLE when being approached by Law Enforcement for they never know who they are dealing with. Don’t be mad at them, they have a family just like you and want to return home at the end of their shift.

GOD BLESS OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

I read transcript & I did not read where anybody could blame this person, the person was not a she it was a sir, reread it, it never said sir went in neighbors house, also the supposed victim did not have rights to go in his mommas stuff unless she gave him the ok, just because people have/&or raisekids does not grant kids to go thru the parents stuff, that’s what’s wrong with people today, they’re not raised to be respectful. The only thing sir did wrong was to stand outside,if he hadn’t called then someone would have blamed him for not calling, so people get with the program, you can’t do nothing to please anyone, one last thing, that caller didn’t get him shot he got himself shot by not following the commands of the officers, I thank them for what they do, I’ve had to have them @ my house but they didn’t see anybody, it’s good to know they will actually fire, although bullets don’t need to bounce around & once you kill you can’t ever bring that something/person back.

The caller was at the neighbors? She left her children went in her sleeping neighbors home and then stood in the middle of the yard. Big problem with this picture. No car worth what may have happened to her. She’s lucky her sleeping neighbors didn’t shoot her. No car is worth all of that.

“Dispatch: He still has not noticed you?

Caller: No… This is crazy. I’m standing out here in the middle of the yard talking on the phone, and he’s hardly even noticed me”…

…he’s seriously acting as if he’s not doing anything wrong. OH…. wait…

Question. Does the stand your ground law apply to protecting yourself from unprovoked attcks from law enforcement? What would of happend if he had returned fire and say killed one of the officers?

Sometimes people need to mind their own business. This neighbor should be charged with filing a false police report, and be sued for physical and punitive damages

I also think this 911 caller did want to play a prank on the victim that went horribly wrong. He recognized his neighbor crawling around in the car and knew he was not a danger to him. Unless he was armed, why else would anybody go outside at 2:30 a.m. to investigate a burglary and remain standing in close proximity to the suspect while chatting with the 911 operator. I feel sorry for the deputies that are thrown into these situations and have to react in split seconds. However, the 911 operator should have told the caller to remove him/herself from the imminent danger and go back inside.. .

The caller should be hauled in and questioned.
No evidence that the car was being stolen.
This person is/are a part of this problem

I guess the caller can’t recognize his/her own neighbor.
