Cop shot homeowner holding perp at gunpoint 6 times
Phoenix Cops Shot Homeowner Tony Arambula Instead of Intruder - ABC News
Check out this quote:
At the hospital, Arambula was questioned by detectives immediately after coming out of surgery and told, according to the lawsuit, that the intruder would be cited and released because he was found to be unarmed.
"Tony was incredulous at their conclusion and asked the police if they had looked under Matthew's bed. The police assured him that they had done so and completed a thorough investigation, but promised to go back and look again," the lawsuit stated.
The intruder's gun was found under the boy's bed during a subsequent search.
I thought AZ has castle doctrine? I bet the homeowner is not waiting for the cops the next time he finds a perp at home.

Holy shit.
The first thing they should do is fire their lawyer. Only $5.75 million?? There are so many problems with how this went down, and ESPECIALLY after they knew he was the homeowner and his subsequent treatment? I've never, ever heard of a gunshot victim (criminal or civilian) being dragged out of the place of shooting, across a gravel driveway, and then driven down the street a ways ON THE HOOD OF THE POLICE CAR. And these guys weren't disciplined???
This poor guy. His entire quality of life is ruined, his wife and kids are traumatized, etc. That's just unbelievable.

Everyone here knows Cops do good things on a daily basis and for the most part keep us safe. But when some use bad judgement, especially to this degree. It is worth the post. If you think otherwise, gtfo ---->
and this is an unreal story. what a terrible situation to be in

Um, if you think the guys in this thread don't strongly support the police, you haven't been paying attention very well on this site . . .
