At around 1:45 a.m., the Grand Prairie Police Department responded to a 911 call. But because of a dispatch error, officers went to the wrong house. The homeowner, Thomas Simpson, woke up to his dogs barking, armed himself, and stepped into his garage—only to be met with officers who, according to him, never announced they were police. Within moments, shots were fired, and Simpson was hit in the leg.

Cops are WAY MORE DANGEROUS than any burglar…
John
Does American Law Enforcement realise that they’re being watched by the world and they are making Americans citizens suffer because of their actions.
What I’ve noticed is that American Police Officers are High School dropouts with a room temperature IQ…and the only employment opportunities for them are in Law Enforcement…
Domino's, Doordash, Lyft and others get to your house in minutes but cops keep fu¢king up, injuring and murdering innocent people. What do they do? The same thing as a school shooting… nothing at all
We should help the cops, as well as their families, the same way ❤ Share the love that the cops have. 😊
It seems to be a regular thing
when you see cops, lock all doors and switch the safety off.
they are here to hurt you steal from you and imprison random people they dont like.
We can't sue them. They just pay out citizens money and never learn a lesson.
Can't use the 2A. They will unalive us and be called a hero for it.
Can't use physical force/fists/ resist unlawful orders. At best, we're beat to hell, at worst unalived.
Woodchipper for tyrants
In my eyes, wrong house, the cops lose. End of story.
What the hell’s happening in America with Law Enforcement ??
They’re worse than the Mob who always got away with their crimes.
Fellow banjo player following this Chanel from England for some time. 79 years young and absolutely amazed at the ongoing incredible content and succinct reports and follow ups recording abuses of police authority. Irrespective of what anyone thinks of gun control these cases are absolutely harrowing and beyond any common sense.
system autofilled adress?
If you suspect burglars, why open the garage door?
Grand Prairie Police Department statement: "We investigated ourselves and found out that we did nothing wrong"
My second day in my first apartment, police busted down the door without announcing themselves. We told them they had the wrong apartment so they busted three other doors down.
The person who they were after hadn't lived there in three months.
They trashed our apartment.
No apologies, just left us to pay the landlord for the damages, including a 150 year old mahogany door.
Let’s check the body cam!
10 to 15 feet away, 8 shots fired and he gets hit in the leg once. At that distance I could have hit my target all 8 times blindfolded. Stupid clowns
Police— CYA! charge the other person. Suck their funds dry trying to defend themselves.
They are only charging this man to save themself from a massive lawsuit. All this does is delay the settlement.
opend gargage door w/o warrant?
1251 unarmed citizens killed by police in 2024.
Going to the wrong house, incompetence.
Not announcing their presence, incompetence. That makes the police dangerous to the public.
Shooting an unarmed person, malicious.
Charging a knowingly innocent man you victimized with crimes, malicious.
The cops are a malicious dangerous threat to the public.
Also, there'd be a full page advert in the local paper naming & shaming, even if I had to go without groceries for two weeks.
Another episode of mistaken bacon
When this happens, wrong house person should pretend to be on the phone, telling the Right house to "flush your stash, cops are at the wrong house" as loud as possible.
Good thing the cops were as equally incompetent with their aim.
Hopefully this guy gets millions and these stupid people are reprimanded and fired 💪🇺🇸
They're just intimidating the homeowner into dropping any potential charges or complaints. There is no way the charges stick against him will stick.
The only mistake he made was opening the garage door. You really need to wait until they break in before you start firing.
The prosecutor’s unwillingness to enter nolle prosequi on his goons’ charges is malicious prosecution.
What did you expect? It's Texas, full of steers & queers! There justice system is very corrupt!!!
Keystone cops 🐷
Police mess up, take zero accountability, ans try to charge the old man for defending himself?!?!?! I hate it here
Sue these morons!
I'm sure our founding fathers would not put up with the way law enforcement officials act these days
it was a home invasion either way you look at it.
I am a law abiding citizen that hasn't committed any crimes so I don't expect to ever get a visit by the police in the middle of the night. Someone busts into my home, I don't care who it is, they are going to get shot, ask questions later.
Thank goodness they are terrible marksmen.
Outside of the 911 call stating DV or an attempt in murder in progress,, the animals HAVE NO EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ENTRY,, THTS #1!! So not only are thte at the wrong address, but they are also Breaking & Entering as well, so.these cops should be charged w the related felonies, bcuz their illegal actions caused bodily harm and put others at risk of bodily harm…
Open fire first, then deal with the consequences. Bring something more than a pistol. A 12 gauge with buckshot or a rifle would be better.
its a big miracle nobody died….
I knew you would cover this one. ❤ this guy is a treasure and a wonderful human being. I hope he gets a huge payout.
Would that no fall under the fruit of the poisonous tree ,police shouldn’t have been there in the first place,
May not be burglars. But still criminals none the less. And even if charges are dropped against Mr. Simpson, he will become a target by the police department.
The police will say they identified so they won't get in trouble and the courts will back him up
If they didn't announce themselves then it's their own fault.
😢
Why are police such lousy shots? Lucky here, but I have trained next to police at indoor ranges and been shocked at how appalling their marksmanship is. Some are great, but most are terrible.
