New Mexico police released bodycam footage showing the deadly shooting of 52-year-old Robert Dotson on April 5 after officers responded to the wrong house. Authorities said Dotson allegedly approached the door with a firearm, not realizing the people outside of his residence were police. The department made a public apology and stated that the tragic shooting is under investigation. The Law&Crime’s Sierra Gillespie has the details.

Entered a closed gate without a warrant very illegal
Paid administrative leave. How horrible for them.
What are the hiring requirements for police that being able to read an address correctly isn’t a requirement
Door dash drivers dont remain employed very long if they deliver to wrong house
Law enforcement identified themselves multiple times. The contact officer called dispatch to inform the resident to come outside and talk the responding officers. So what moral, sober, prudent gun-owner, after all that, comes out his house and points a gun???
This is just more proof the 2nd Amendment should not be for ALL Americans.
Homeowner was murdered and police lie to cover it up
Yep. Cops are a security risk to own communities they serve! USA minority been telling ya! Body cams been documenting , that giving a gun to two year degree or less person with minimum supervision is a security risk.
Those cops need to be charged with attempted home invasion and murder
fire him and put him in prison for murder
The cops will get away with murder
Nothing new
They were practically whispering when they would say they were the police. And those knocks aren’t how police usually knock. All cops are bad.
Messicans couldnt get the correct house number. Lol
WHAT COWARDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Life in prison without parol if proven.
The cops didn't hear a gun cocking, they heard a door being unlocked.
Who are worse, cops or insurance CEO's?
We have the right to bear arms, though. Right… right?
Paranoid
Murder an innocent member of the public and get a paid holiday. Unbelievable.
Is anyone in there? Or Not? He thinks he got the wrong house
One place I won’t ever go with law enforcement like this walking the streets.
Typical behavior for this low iq state. Very sad for the innocent american killed.
They knew it was wrong house, then proceed to kill him and threaten her! Fight back people!
All in the name of "officer safety"
Liars
This breaks my heart how dare you kill her husband and put her in cuffs
Why did they do the SHOOT FIRST ASK LATER thing?
Wow
Latest update Jan 2024 the state of new mexico will not be filling charged agsinst the officers involved, shocking. Also are we just gonna forget about the abuse case across the street??
So they just stepped over his body to go in the house? Truly unbelievable
Truly disgusting
This is why you never call them.
Wrong address huh? I just another cover up!
"traumatic" more like murder.
2nd amendment in action
I would like to say they knew this is the wrong house…
They just murdered her husband and they cuff her?!!!! WTF!?!?
THIS MUST STOP!!! THE GENERAL POPULATION IS PERMITTED TO OWN FIREARMS!!
incompetence runs rampant at way too many departments in this country.
Life in prison.
And they got cleared. No charges.
They just walk over the body of Dotson no medical treatment.
Someone has to go to jail.
That’s a multi million lawsuit
