Some years back the cops in northern California sent in a SWAT team to raid a guy's house for drugs. He was upstairs shagging his GF/Mrs and heard a commotion downstairs. The guy came out with a gun in his hand -- and was promptly shot to bits by the SWAT team.

 

Cops do screw up. And yes this time they did have a court search warrant too.

NY police kill man on wedding day

 

An unarmed man has been shot dead by police in New York City hours before he was to have been married, prompting fury over the officers' actions.

Two of the man's friends were hurt in the shooting, which occurred outside a strip club where they had been celebrating before the wedding.

 

Police fired 50 bullets at a car carrying the men after it reportedly struck an unmarked police vehicle.

 

New York's mayor says police had acted fearing an armed "altercation".

The NYPD has been criticized in other shootings of unarmed black men in recent years.

 

In 2003, Ousmane Zongo, 43, a native of Burkina Faso, was killed during a police raid on a warehouse where he repaired art and musical instruments. Zongo was shot four times, twice in the back, by an officer who was disguised as a postal worker. Zongo was unarmed.

 

In 1999, NYPD officers killed Amadou Diallo, an unarmed immigrant from Guinea who was shot 19 times in the entry to his apartment building. The four officers in that case were acquitted of criminal charges.

 

Saturday's shootings happened around 4 a.m. outside the Kalua Cabaret, a strip club where Bell's bachelor party was held. The survivors were Joseph Guzman, 31, who was shot at least 11 times, and Trent Benefield, 23, who was hit three times. Guzman was in critical condition Sunday and Benefield was stable.

 

Relatives of all three men â?? many of them stoic, and some crying â?? attended Sunday's vigil but none spoke publicly.

 

At a news conference Saturday, Kelly said the department was still piecing together what happened, and that it was too early to say whether the shooting was justified.

 

The car, driven by Bell, was struck by 21 of the police bullets after the vehicle rammed an undercover officer and hit an unmarked NYPD minivan. Other shots hit nearby homes and shattered windows at a train station, though no one else was injured.
