Most cops are traitors in my opinion they dare to join law enforcement just they can kill people and assert their dominance over others they’re traitors to us the people as much as tot he country.
my thoughts on police conduct. 1: Police should be licensed nationally whether they are employed locally, sheriff or state. the license criteria must include basic rights and conduct knowledge. 2: Police should be REQUIRED to carry $3,000,000 conduct insurance with a minimum personal deductible of $3000. if any award is higher than the $3,000,000 then the city/county or state is liable for the balance 3: When police go above a threshold of abuse or conduct 3 times or their conduct results in arrest of the officer 1 time or the conduct insurance is exhausted the federal license should be revoked permanently. 4: All police conduct complaints should be investigated and reviewed externally by an independent organization. 5: All officers should be required to carry body cams that record and broadcast to a secure place without an on/off switch which can simply be done by the camera automatically turn on when removed from a charger. The recordings further should only be able to be seen and not erased unless done by an independent organization outside the jurisdiction and only after a completed court trial AND only after all appeals are completed or appeal times have passed. The officer should be fined if the lens is covered or the audio muffled by covering the microphone.
"We respect law enforcement", that must be the fluoride in the water talking. This is an enemy force of occupation, their actions and methods bear that out.
Every single cop that showed up at her house needs to be arrested and the sentencing needs to start at 20 years with a guy who pulled the trigger life in prison no parole
NOW, YOU TALKING THEY KNOW we are armed inside of our homes WHY WOULD YOU ENTER WITHOUT A WARRANT KNOWING just like she said ... We had no clue what was going on ...so she is trying to get her husband up to help find out ... DIRTY !!!!
I think this is where we should actually hold these animals accountable for their actions... If they entered the wrong home, or had a bogus warrant this should be considered m/s at a minimum or murdered. This happens way to many times for these raids to be considered a mistake. Cops shoot first then asked questions when entering a mans home need to be cause for everyone in America to be upset. What good id having laws if they are not applied equally. .
TKO TKO I'd like to see what would happen if they tried this on a house that was so well fortified but no one could tell by looking at it, that the cops couldn't get in, and everything they did was recorded on hidden cameras.

russell5078084, I believe in turn about is fair play....If cops break into my home armed to the teach with the intentions of doing great body harm these cops should expect to leave in body bags...still no one would be harmed...no one that mattered anyway.
This sounds like every other case I've seen where police screwed up the raid by getting the address wrong and caused someone's serious injury or death. The result had typically been "oops forgive us.. It wasn't our fault". I truly hope justice is done here..
Justice can NEVER be done here, her husband is dead, no matter what, "they" cannot bring her husband back. Even if they give her a multi- million-dollar settlement, it will not replace "that" man in her life, likely the love of her life!!! This is so sad, word cannot express her grief.

And the media is complicit in not telling the American public the truth about why it is happening... More and more police departments and hiring types that should not be wearing the badge and more and more departments are forgoing the training that used to be the norm. It used to be that lethal force was a LAST resort ONLY used under imminent threat and when all other options were tried. Not any more..
That’s because the Cops, District Attorney’s, Judges, and The Corrupt Police Unions have paid off the media. That’s why they won’t report what’s really going on.

First off, thank you for your service and courage, I respect LEO but, like you said, it is way different today than 10/15 years ago! I remember when I was a young man and was ablet to walk up and talk to any LEO of that time. The cars all had "To Protect & Serve" on them and they all spoke with professionalism. That is all gone now, thanks to the Socialist Party! I have a battle buddy, from the Iraq War who is a LEO and I guarantee he has Integrity and would not stand by if something like this happened! We The People need to stand up! HOOAH!!!
The Sheriff is to make sure that “Due Process of Law” is met before any arrest or seizure by police enforcement within his County; and, before any executions of judgments. Even a U.S. Marshal or other Federal Agent cannot execute a Warrant of any sort within a county without first notifying the Sheriff; and, it is the duty of the Sheriff to make sure “Due Process of Law” is met before allowing a Code Enforcement Officer, a U.S. Marshal or other Federal Agent to proceed. He is also duty bound to prevent SWAT team raids against, innocent under the law, code violators.
I wanna say I've heard it's cheaper for them to kill someone rather than wound. So if they already have wounded someone they wanna just finish them off.
alex08648 no they won't. When police get sued the settlement comes from taxpayers, not the police pension fund.....which is where victims should be paid from.
AN UPDATE, SINCE YOU PROBABLY WON'T SEE ONE ON THE NEWS: On February 22, 2022, after a seven year lawsuit battle against the Georgia police department, the judge refused to dismiss the case and brought both into mediation to settle the lawsuit before it was to go to trial. All appeals filed by the police department's legal team to have the suit dropped were exhausted, so it was time to pay up or it was going to the jury and the sky is the limit for a settlement then. The widow Teresa Hooks and her family reached a confidential settlement and feel that they are going to receive about all the justice they can expect to receive and move on from this failure of law enforcement and their refusal to voluntarily take accountability for their crimes against this family. This was all over a meth head informant claiming there were drugs in this couple's home, when there was NOT. Georgia loves to flaunt their "immunity" status when they destroy innocent people's lives, but they didn't get away with it this time. Georgia cops fought a similar battle after throwing a flash bang into a crib critically injuring a baby and refusing to accept responsibility or help the family. After a lot of pressure and lawsuits, it seems the "immunity" got denied and they got over $3 million in settlements against the two counties involved. Still not enough for the permanent scars that child will always have and the family being unable to trust LEO's.
This really ticks me off! What the heck! It is disappointing that kids have to see this and that other people see this and think that we shouldn't trust our police officers!
UPDATE FEB 23, 2022: 13WMAZ also reached out to Hooks' lawyer, Mitchell Shook. He sent us the following statement: "Teresa Hooks is pleased to announce that she won her fight for justice for her husband, David Hooks. She has successfully settled her lawsuit against those responsible for the death of David Hooks. She believes that her victory makes everyone safer in their homes - safer from the kind of reckless police home invasions which took the life of her husband. Seven years and five months ago, David Hooks was gunned down in his own home, because of the sheer incompetence and willingness to intentionally violate the constitutional rights of David Hooks by the former sheriff Bill Harrell, former drug task force supervisor agent Chris Brewer, and the members of the sheriff's response team. The long journey to get justice for David Hooks has seen the individuals responsible for his death chastised by the United States District Court and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Even the Supreme Court of the United States refused to consider the Defendant's last appeal. With jury selection set to begin Monday February 28 at the federal courthouse in Dublin, the court ordered a mediation take place before a United States Magistrate Judge. As a result of a day long mediation conducted on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, the wrongful death civil rights lawsuit filed on behalf of Teresa Hooks has been fully resolved. The terms of the settlement are confidential, but the terms were reached only when the Defendant met Mrs. Hooks demands. Teresa Hooks and her entire family pray that their many years fighting for justice will send a clear message to law enforcement officers that you will be held accountable when you violate the constitutional rights of Georgia citizens."
All they have to do is say they believed that they were acting upon good information and guess what? No charges will be filed. Laws need to be changed to protect us from them. Too easy for them to lie and get away with murder.
I pray you received lots of money ! But money will never bring back a loved one ! I hope the cops were held accountable for this wrong doing and unjust killing ! May the Lord keep your family safe !
This is a prime example of why clandestine, no knock raids should be illegal. Even if you are a criminal and some unknown person breaks into your home, your first thought is for self defense. The cops are probably laughing about how the guy twitched when the bullets hit him.
The sad thing is the individual officers legitimately think they can do no wrong in these incidents and have 0 remorse. “Just following orders and these things happen”
As sorry as I am for family, especially the wife, no amount of money she will receive will quantity her life with her husband. This was just senseless. I feel all the "Bubba and good ole Bobby Joe" types will read this and automatically try to justify the behavior of the police. Undoubtedly the police will
THIS IS HORRIBLE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. IT IS HAPPENING WAY TOO OFTEN IN ALOT OF STATES. THERE SHOULD BE NO QUALIFIED IMMUNITY IN THIS CASE. JUST TERRIBLE TO LOSE YOUR HUSBAND BECAUSE OF IGNORANCE AND HATE.
The officers need to be charged for murder and illegal entry into a home, it's the only way to stop this from going on. People should have the right to apply deadly force against an officer entering their home without a search warrant. That thing of investigating themselves also needs to come to an end.
PART 2 ...will state "Oh, we can not discuss this matter" because of the litigation of the lawsuit of the surviving wife. Undoubtedly the officers involved will go on paid vacations (administrative leave!!!!!). NO ONE will have the character of admitting that a colossal mistake was made. The second amendment zealots will minimize the severity of this egregious act. They city will probably try to impose a gag order or "no fault" condition on the settlement that will take years to arbitrate. This will further stifle her trying to get on with her life. My heart goes out to her. Until the police organizations begin to fear these kinds of mistakes will cause grave consequences like not only losing their jobs but people going to jail. Then and only then will they stop "white washing" these mistakes. My guess is not one officer that said one kind HEARTFELT" kind word or offer of condolences to her loss. This is just wrong on so many levels, SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE MISTAKE ON THEM GOING TO THE WRONG TO THE HOUSE BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. There should be so many precautions just so a family doesn't have to go through this. I also want to point out that this exponentially occurs more often to a person of color. The program directors don't always prioritize the occurrence of this kind of incident OR it's not the lead-in story on the news,thus the general public of not knowing how often this occurs disportionately more to people of color. I only bring this up because this will garner much more press coverage because the victim is white, but the hurt is the same. These kinds of things are occurring more and more rather than less. Until police feel that they will face enormous punishment instead of an"internal investigation of their OWN " this will continue to occur more and more and more!
The cops who did this will just end up being on paid vacation, and returned back to full duty. Meantime, no apology to this poor lady that they turned into a widow within seconds. Need to hold our law enforcement officers accountable.
Even before watch the video I want to say I wish you guys had been armed and when people come in without announcing themselves they're home Invaders and at least as far as I'm concerned they'll get exactly what anybody that invades my home is going to get. Sorry for your loss.
These so-called drug raids and no knock warrants need to be outlawed completely and a judge and any law enforcement officer that signs on to a no knock warrant an innocent person dies they need to be held accountable for murder

@Courtney Egnor hey there champ, how about acting like a moral and respective person instead of being a complete prick
my thoughts on police conduct.
1: Police should be licensed nationally whether they are employed locally, sheriff or state. the license criteria must include basic rights and conduct knowledge.
2: Police should be REQUIRED to carry $3,000,000 conduct insurance with a minimum personal deductible of $3000. if any award is higher than the $3,000,000 then the city/county or state is liable for the balance
3: When police go above a threshold of abuse or conduct 3 times or their conduct results in arrest of the officer 1 time or the conduct insurance is exhausted the federal license should be revoked permanently.
4: All police conduct complaints should be investigated and reviewed externally by an independent organization.
5: All officers should be required to carry body cams that record and broadcast to a secure place without an on/off switch which can simply be done by the camera automatically turn on when removed from a charger. The recordings further should only be able to be seen and not erased unless done by an independent organization outside the jurisdiction and only after a completed court trial AND only after all appeals are completed or appeal times have passed. The officer should be fined if the lens is covered or the audio muffled by covering the microphone.

I wanna say I've heard it's cheaper for them to kill someone rather than wound. So if they already have wounded someone they wanna just finish them off.
End qualified immunity
Hope that the widow sues for a whole lot of money and that the officers involved in the shooting are prosecuted to the fullest.
The head shots sounded more like an assassination!
So what consequences did the police face for this murder?
A “ gang of thugs “ did break in and murdered her husband.
My heart goes out to her 💔
More cops need to "disappear FOREVER" ! This woman deserves a LARGE PAYOUT!
Daniel Parks we need 2nd amendment militias to put an end to this corruption.
i am with you they must go 6 feet under
alex08648 no they won't. When police get sued the settlement comes from taxpayers, not the police pension fund.....which is where victims should be paid from.
👀😮
Horrible.. I've no words. My heart breaks for this family. This should never have happened
I am sorry for your loss. God bless you and Husband RIP.
It is unbelievable what police officers are capable of in every state
AN UPDATE, SINCE YOU PROBABLY WON'T SEE ONE ON THE NEWS: On February 22, 2022, after a seven year lawsuit battle against the Georgia police department, the judge refused to dismiss the case and brought both into mediation to settle the lawsuit before it was to go to trial. All appeals filed by the police department's legal team to have the suit dropped were exhausted, so it was time to pay up or it was going to the jury and the sky is the limit for a settlement then. The widow Teresa Hooks and her family reached a confidential settlement and feel that they are going to receive about all the justice they can expect to receive and move on from this failure of law enforcement and their refusal to voluntarily take accountability for their crimes against this family. This was all over a meth head informant claiming there were drugs in this couple's home, when there was NOT. Georgia loves to flaunt their "immunity" status when they destroy innocent people's lives, but they didn't get away with it this time. Georgia cops fought a similar battle after throwing a flash bang into a crib critically injuring a baby and refusing to accept responsibility or help the family. After a lot of pressure and lawsuits, it seems the "immunity" got denied and they got over $3 million in settlements against the two counties involved. Still not enough for the permanent scars that child will always have and the family being unable to trust LEO's.
Thank you for the update
Thank you!
So no jail time for the murderers then
@@matthewsands3591 correct...police department self investigated and found no wrongdoing "by their policies and standards"
Cops putting ( your ) life on the line every day
The second most heartbreaking fact in this case is that no "police" thugs were shot in the head.
My heart goes out to this woman this is crazy and unbelievable
Once again, “we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”
Shooting you in the back is called officer safety.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR DEFENDING YOUR HOME AND FAMILY!" - FBI, 2014
Life for a life is how I see it. Badge wearer or not, u take a life, urs is taken the same way
The US needs vigilance against the police!Their sick murderers
This really ticks me off! What the heck! It is disappointing that kids have to see this and that other people see this and think that we shouldn't trust our police officers!
The crimes they get away with.This is complete insanity
UPDATE FEB 23, 2022: 13WMAZ also reached out to Hooks' lawyer, Mitchell Shook. He sent us the following statement:
"Teresa Hooks is pleased to announce that she won her fight for justice for her husband, David Hooks. She has successfully settled her lawsuit against those responsible for the death of David Hooks.
She believes that her victory makes everyone safer in their homes - safer from the kind of reckless police home invasions which took the life of her husband.
Seven years and five months ago, David Hooks was gunned down in his own home, because of the sheer incompetence and willingness to intentionally violate the constitutional rights of David Hooks by the former sheriff Bill Harrell, former drug task force supervisor agent Chris Brewer, and the members of the sheriff's response team. The long journey to get justice for David Hooks has seen the individuals responsible for his death chastised by the United States District Court and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Even the Supreme Court of the United States refused to consider the Defendant's last appeal.
With jury selection set to begin Monday February 28 at the federal courthouse in Dublin, the court ordered a mediation take place before a United States Magistrate Judge. As a result of a day long mediation conducted on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, the wrongful death civil rights lawsuit filed on behalf of Teresa Hooks has been fully resolved. The terms of the settlement are confidential, but the terms were reached only when the Defendant met Mrs. Hooks demands.
Teresa Hooks and her entire family pray that their many years fighting for justice will send a clear message to law enforcement officers that you will be held accountable when you violate the constitutional rights of Georgia citizens."
BREAK INTO MY HOME with out a warrant and YOU W-I-L-L be if for a DEADLY SUPRISE...I AM ALWAYS READY and I...NEVER ...MISS....
My home is my castle. You break in I'm entitled to use deadly force to defend my home from intruders including murdering thug cops.
With a boom ping ping
Glad that was not my dad or I would be in prison
OMG: We must stop this. Thank you for your work and my love and sympathy to your family.
Than you for your work??
They should be held accountable for killing him.
Quit staging crime scenes after the fact because everyone forgot to turn on their body camera which should not be optional...
All they have to do is say they believed that they were acting upon good information and guess what? No charges will be filed.
Laws need to be changed to protect us from them. Too easy for them to lie and get away with murder.
I pray you received lots of money ! But money will never bring back a loved one ! I hope the cops were held accountable for this wrong doing and unjust killing ! May the Lord keep your family safe !
Put these so called police in population in the worst prison that there is.
This is a prime example of why clandestine, no knock raids should be illegal. Even if you are a criminal and some unknown person breaks into your home, your first thought is for self defense.
The cops are probably laughing about how the guy twitched when the bullets hit him.
The sad thing is the individual officers legitimately think they can do no wrong in these incidents and have 0 remorse. “Just following orders and these things happen”
the cops will just investigate themselves and find themselves not guilty
Oh, I HOPE SHE GETS PAID!!!
and then they say that they want you all to give up you guns
The police will still execute civilians and I would be justified
This was criminal murder. They had no right to be in the house. The police officers should be in prison. This is completely unacceptable.
This is called breaking entering haunted burglary and murder
As sorry as I am for family, especially the wife, no amount of money she will receive will quantity her life with her husband. This was just senseless. I feel all the "Bubba and good ole Bobby Joe" types will read this and automatically try to justify the behavior of the police. Undoubtedly the police will
K Brandy
THEY KNOW WE ARE
ARMED INSIDE OUR HOMES !!!!
Hit squat executed the wrong guy?
Oops!
A gang did break in … the thin blue line gang
Poor woman. She respects them. They have not a shred of respect for you. Harsh but true.
Its a shame that we cant just "take care" of these criminals.
No pigs were held accountable for murdering this man.
JOHN WICK TO THE RESCUE.
What was the outcome of any investigation into his death? These videos are so frustrating in that they never give any conclusion to the event.
Because there never are any legal conclusions. Law enforcement run the justice system, these cases get buried.
We investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong !!!
Man, this sounds more like an assassination.
THIS IS HORRIBLE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. IT IS HAPPENING WAY TOO OFTEN IN ALOT OF STATES. THERE SHOULD BE NO QUALIFIED IMMUNITY IN THIS CASE. JUST TERRIBLE TO LOSE YOUR HUSBAND BECAUSE OF IGNORANCE AND HATE.
This is why every American needs an AR15 or M1 .308.
It wouldn't of saved him. It would have escalated and excuse them murdering him.
@@itismeagainbitisnotme2328 you think so?
Joe says you need a shotgun..
@@itismeagainbitisnotme2328 he got murdered anyways
I'm so sorry for this lady.
My respect for law enforcement died with Jeremy Mardis.
The officers need to be charged for murder and illegal entry into a home, it's the only way to stop this from going on. People should have the right to apply deadly force against an officer entering their home without a search warrant. That thing of investigating themselves also needs to come to an end.
Ma'am, a gang DID break in.
I hope this happens to the officers family’s. That’d be great.
It could easily happen when he retires. Karma is a bit@h
It would be the right thing.
I want to know this bastards name
Every cop there should lose everything they love...
george foshee not all cops aren't bad
PART 2 ...will state "Oh, we can not discuss this matter" because of the litigation of the lawsuit of the surviving wife. Undoubtedly the officers involved will go on paid vacations (administrative leave!!!!!). NO ONE will have the character of admitting that a colossal mistake was made. The second amendment zealots will minimize the severity of this egregious act. They city will probably try to impose a gag order or "no fault" condition on the settlement that will take years to arbitrate. This will further stifle her trying to get on with her life. My heart goes out to her. Until the police organizations begin to fear these kinds of mistakes will cause grave consequences like not only losing their jobs but people going to jail. Then and only then will they stop "white washing" these mistakes. My guess is not one officer that said one kind HEARTFELT" kind word or offer of condolences to her loss. This is just wrong on so many levels, SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE MISTAKE ON THEM GOING TO THE WRONG TO THE HOUSE BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. There should be so many precautions just so a family doesn't have to go through this. I also want to point out that this exponentially occurs more often to a person of color. The program directors don't always prioritize the occurrence of this kind of incident OR it's not the lead-in story on the news,thus the general public of not knowing how often this occurs disportionately more to people of color. I only bring this up because this will garner much more press coverage because the victim is white, but the hurt is the same. These kinds of things are occurring more and more rather than less. Until police feel that they will face enormous punishment instead of an"internal investigation of their OWN " this will continue to occur more and more and more!
K Brandy It is LESS news worthy because they are WHITE.
Spot on - uniformed killers under the protection of their UNION
Just because they kick in the door brandishing weapons and wearing badges does not mean that they are not a violent gang.
The cops who did this will just end up being on paid vacation, and returned back to full duty. Meantime, no apology to this poor lady that they turned into a widow within seconds. Need to hold our law enforcement officers accountable.
Even before watch the video I want to say I wish you guys had been armed and when people come in without announcing themselves they're home Invaders and at least as far as I'm concerned they'll get exactly what anybody that invades my home is going to get. Sorry for your loss.
Does anyone knows the outcomes on this case . Whatever hapen to them killers?
Carlos Santos more than likely one week suspension with pay it happens way more often than you’d think
Well to America 🇺🇸 that kinda stuff happened to black Americans all the time
Did She File An Wrong Death Lawsuit Against The Police
These so-called drug raids and no knock warrants need to be outlawed completely and a judge and any law enforcement officer that signs on to a no knock warrant an innocent person dies they need to be held accountable for murder
