(PatriotHQ) How can a highly trained team of professionals not only get the wrong address but also kill an innocent person and then the spouse tries to protect her home and family and she is put in handcuffs?
New Mexico body camera footage shows cops shooting and killing a homeowner at the incorrect location.
Farmington, NM Friday, police released 911 audio and body camera footage of an officer shooting and killing a homeowner after responding to the erroneous domestic violence call.
Police first reported 52-year-old Robert Dotson was shot and murdered when he opened the door at 11:30 p.m. on April 5.
The newly published footage reveal the unnamed cops fired immediately when Dotson opened the door with the gun. The police fired again when a woman screamed on the film. Police previously said Dotson's wife shot back at them. No injuries.
Officers say their three kids were upstairs in the video. Farmington has almost 45,000 residents. It is near Colorado in northwest New Mexico.
Chief Steven Hebbe stated, "All of us at the Farmington Police Department know how serious this situation is."
The government announced on Friday more "records and files" would be released following examination and editing.
We'll investigate this. As your chief of police, I apologize to the Dotson family again for this tragic event. Hebbe promised regular updates.
Farmington police said Dotson's family and lawyers reviewed the footage and what the night's body cam footage shows. State police investigating the incident stated Farmington police responded to 5308 Valley View Avenue for a domestic violence report.
Police claimed they went to 5305 Valley View Avenue instead of 5308 when they arrived.
On the footage, three responding police officers walk up to a residence with a clear and lit address sign and knock three times. They claimed to be Farmington police three times on film.
While waiting for someone to answer the door, the cops requested a dispatcher to check the address. The dispatcher gave them a different address.
Farmington police are investigating why officers went to the wrong home.
Dotson brings a gun to the door minutes later.
"Hands up," a cop shouts, and they fire Dotson immediately. The police retreat and report a man lying in the doorway to the station.
A woman cries inside the house a few seconds later. "Oh my God!" After being commanded to put her hands up, the cop shoots her.
An officer tells arriving officers the lady grabbed Dotson's gun and aimed it at them. Dotson's wife is unnamed, but police say she is.
After a few minutes, the woman inside the house yells "Help!" Shot my spouse. Please! Please! "Upstairs, my kids."
Last week, state police claimed Mr. Dotson's wife, who also had a handgun, fired from the front door after the initial shot. Officers fired again. State police claimed she dropped the gun and followed police orders when she saw them outside her house.
"Get her in cuffs," a cop says as woman is arrested and escorted away from the house.
Dotson's daughter contacted 911.
One of Dotson's children called 911 after he was shot.
"There were gunshots in my house, and my dad was shot," she told the 911 operator. My mum yelled... I'm worried about dad."
She and two siblings were home when her father was shot.
Who shot Dotson?
Farmington Police Department removed the three cops' names from the video.
The department said all three were on paid administrative leave during the investigation. Two of the officers had worked for the department for five years, and the third for three.
In conclusion. Yes, horrible stuff happens, but something else is at play here. The couple was an older white couple, middle class. Where is the outrage? Burning down cities or Night of Revenge?
Ask yourself a question, what if the couple were Black? ……………….. and the mainstream media is going to run this story? Of course not, it doesn’t fit the narrative.
Sorry, White Lives Don’t Matter.

George Floyd was a drug user with a long rap sheet and spending time in prison, but died while committing a crime at the hands of a police officer. Robert Dotson is NOT a drug user or a criminal. He was a homeowner, taxpayer and a Daddy with a good marriage. He did nothing wrong and was kllled in his home. Where is the push back? Where is the buring cities? But is he was black, different story!
Yikes! Where is the 'Floyd' outrage?
