Young Officers Shot & Killed Wrong Man

In Nashville, Tennessee two young police officers wrongly shot and killed a 61-year old man in his home, thinking he was involved in a drug-related incident.

John Adams, was shot three times by officers Kyle Shedran (25) and Greg Day (24) after he reportedly shot at them with a sawed-off shotgun. The man’s widow, Loraine, says that she thought it was a home invasion when the officers burst into their house. In the panic that ensued, Loraine shouted to her husband to get his gun, which he did.

The officers handcuffed Mrs. Adams and locked her in another room before the shooting began. Mr. Adams was shot three times and died later at the Vanderbilt Medical Centre in Nashville.

Lebanon Police Chief Billy Weeks admitted that the police had gotten the wrong information from a drug informant and had made a mistake when breaking into the house. He said “It’s a very severe mistake, a costly mistake. It makes us look at our own policies and procedures to make sure this never happens again!”

Weeks insists that the two young officers were not at fault, although the widow of the deceased thinks otherwise. Loraine Adams was quoted as saying “They need to get rid of those men, boys with toys!”

The case is now being handled by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation as well as the NAACP (The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) who feel that race may have played a part in the officers’ hasty actions, considering that the two young officers were white and John Adams was black.

Police Chief Weeks and the family members of the deceased do not seem to think race played a part, but one thing is for certain, the incident will strain relations between the police and the black members of the community.

Weeks has handed over all of the evidence to the Investigation Bureau and the District Attorney General, Tommy Thompson for further investigation. A simple but effective step has already been made and that is to have every warrant carefully reviewed by a command officer beforehand.

    In Portland Oregon the police officer’s WHORES decide Who and WHEN cops will execute a search/arrest warrant on!

    My wife Joan Wagar was having an affair with cops named officer Eric Carlson and John Ray, and they were poisoning me and they were framing me as a pedophile!

    On March 26th 2007 my wife helped those cops to break into my home and they planted child porn in my home and they poisoned my coffee cup and coffee pot!

    My wife Joan Wagar then told her f-buddy’s in law enforcement to wait for her to come home from work BEFORE they kick my door down with a warrant because SHE WANTED TO BE THERE FOR IT!

    SO THE ALMIGHTY WARRANT SIGNED BY A JUDGE TAKES A BACK SEAT TO A COPS WHORES WHIMS!

    On March 26th 2007 I caught my wife Joan Wagar helping her lovers officer’s Eric Carlson and John Ray to commit break ins and to rape and photograph children in their bedrooms and they killed one of the children!

    They then planted evidence and child porn in my home to frame me for THEIR crimes and before they left my home they poisoned my coffee cup and coffee pot!

    They all drove to Clackamas Walmart after that and they bragged to my wife’s sister Vickie Rosales about what they did!

    The first thing officer John Ray aid to Vickie Rosales was “WE FRAMED TERY AS A PEDOPHILE!” and my wife was at this time asking her lover officer Eric Carlson “WERE YOU NAKED FOR IT?” and they were laughing and admitting “THEY GOT IT ON PHOTOGENIC!” and they said “WE GOT PICTURES OF HIS DICK!” and their laughing some more!

    As officer Eric Carlson and John Ray’s superiors in law enforcement arrived at Walmart they said to them “Soooo,,,,,,you got them for us?” and they said “Yeah we got in on photogenic!” and then they said “WE NEED 6:30 TAKEN OFF OF HER!” and their superiors asked “Why?” and they said “BECAUSE JOHN RAY BROKE IN THERE!” and officer John Ray himself said “WELL,,,,,,I COULDN’T GO THROUGH THE DOOR!” and there was more laughing!

    THESE PIECE OF SHIT COPS AND THEIR WHORES ARE SERIAL KILLERS AND PEDOPHILES AND THEY FLAUNT THE FACT THAT THEY ENJOY USING BODY DOUBLES TO RAPE CHILDREN AND THEY DON’T EVEN CARE IF THEY ARE OVERHEARD ADMITTING TO THIS!

    THE FEMALE CHILD THEY MURDERED WAS NAMED JESSICA AND MY WIFE JOAN WAGAR AND HER LOVER OFFICER ERIC CARLSON WAS TALKING ABOUT HER ON THE DRIVE TO WALMART! ERIC CARLSON WANTED JOAN WAGAR’S HELP WITH THE BODY!

    The entire “war on drugs” is a mistake, it shouldn’t be acceptable that the word of a prisoner is all it takes to break down someone’s door in the middle of the night. Not at all. This was not an “accident”, it was an example of how badly managed and costly the war on drugs is, not a mistake made by a cop or two in the heat of the moment. It was the culmination of a few weeks of; making arrests, pressuring suspects to help make more arrests, and a culture produced from the war on drugs of “us or them” that created strategies such as breaking down doors with armed forces while people are sleeping. WHY IS THIS ACCEPTABLE AS A “MISTAKE”?

    I’m more scared of the people wearing badges than I am of any gangster and especially any “drug offender”.

    Dirty Secrets Cops Hide From The Public!

    Cops ALWAYS conduct what they label as “INVESTIGATIONS” and I am sure each and every reader on here has heard that term used hundreds of times throughout their lifetime!

    Lats get something straight here, COPS DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY BREAK INTO THE WRONG HOUSE WHEN THEY HAVE WARRANTS!

    I f these cops had a WARRANT then there was an INVESTIGATION with plain clothed law officer’s and those plain clothed officer’s CAUSED such a WARRANT to come into existence!

    Cops DO NOT pick the wrong house when they have a warrant, but what cops do do is LIE when things don’t go the way they WANT IT TO!

    Because these cops killed an innocent man they had to come up with a bullshit excuse to JUSTIFY the killing, and since the man was innocent the ONLY way they can LOOK justified is to CLAIM MISTAKE on there part!

    Half the cops in any given town are under cover cops and they are the REASON most people get their doors kicked down!

    Don’t you find it ODD that this news story does not name the investigators that CAUSED the WARRANT to be executed are NOT mentioned AT ALL!?

    People need to STOP LISTENING to cops BULLSHIT EXCUSES and start thinking with their own heads and common sense!

    Cops ALWAYS WANT TO LOOK JUSTIFIED! NO MATTER WHAT! AND COPS WILL SAY AND DO ANYTHING TO GIVE THAT APPEARANCE TO THE MASSES! AND NEWS REPORTERS TEND TO SERIOUSLY BROWN-NOSE COPS AND WILL SAY ANYTHING TO COVER COPS BUTTS!
    When news reporters PRETEND cops made a mistake so that cops can COVER UP a MURDER then you know your reporters are propagandists!

    Government and news reporters will PRETEND the sky is GREEN if that’s what it takes to cover cops butts! and our whole system is this way!

    I say this if they did not learn in training and other stories about wrong info being passed around… They should all be locked up for murder… But know what they will get. Is a slap on the hand.. two days off with pay… IF you come into my house like that I would shoot at your candy asses……..

    The moment you charge a cop with a murder is the moment your whole system makes it known JUST TO YOU that they are corrupt and will say and do anything to cover a cops butt!

    Did it ever occur to you people that if you charge a cop with felony murder that your system will IGNORE your complaints and at the same time they will have their bro’s at the hospital label you as mental to discredit you as a witness!?

    Doctors, attorney’s, judges, news reporters, they all have friendships and connections with cops and visa-versa, and these so called professionals ALWAYS work together to cover each others butts!

    You grew up believing you have rights and that our system is based on justice and that people have a right to a trial and a meaningful opportunity to be heard and the right to defend ourselves and we take that all for granted!

    Every time you watch the news you hear news reporters trying to tell you a story and you are being guided by that news reporter as to how to view the story, thus they are controlling your viewpoint on the story by the way they present their story to you.

    Guess what happens if you as a citizen catches cops committing a murder of a child, guess what happens in our country when that happens?

    NO ONE WILL WANT YOU AS A WITNESS! THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS! no one with a badge will give a damn about your complaint, no one will take your complaint, you will be threatened by cops and other government agency’s to stop bothering them, they will pretend the act of you reporting a murder is a crime and they will charge you with harassment, all the while completely ignoring your complaint!

    This is your system, your government, it does not hide the fact it is corrupt, it does not hide the fact that it ignores serious crimes committed by cops, and it does not hide the fact that if any citizen complains about it’s government or officer’s then that citizen gets targeted and labeled publicly by our government!

    EVERY COP IN YOUR TOWN NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE WILL LIE AND COVER A FELLOW COPS BUTT AND MANY PEOPLE THAT COMPLAIN ABOUT COPS ENDS UP BATTERED TO DEATH BY COPS AND THEN THE COPS LABEL THE DEAD VICTIM MENTALLY ILL TO DISCREDIT THE VICTIMS COMPLAINTS!

    This goes on all over the world, cops are corrupt and above the law and use the law the same way they use their billy clubs, as weapons against their enemy’s/citizens!

    Reporters and cops EXPECT you to respect their complaints on whoever but they do not RESPECT citizens complaints on officer’s or people that lie for officer’s!

    Cops are so openly corrupt that they no longer hide the fact they are Fascist minded, and just like Nazi Germany during world war two their are many many people within our country that back these government Fascists and will target and even kill people to silence them!

    Cops openly commit murders in our streets on unarmed citizens and their not standing trial for it because THEIR BRO’S the PROSECUTORS REFUSE to charge cops with felony crimes! ONLY PUBLIC PRESSURE CAN FORCE COPS TO STAND TRIAL IN A CRIMINAL COURT ROOM, AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS THEN OUR CORRUPT POLICE FORCE JUST CONTACTS THE COUNTY SHERIFF’S AND ASKS THEM TO FILL THE JURY POOL WITH THEIR BRO’S AND RELATIVES TO ENSURE AN ACQUITTAL OF THE OFFICER CHARGED!

    Our country and it’s officer’s are so corrupt that it took the L,A, riots and over fifty murders on the streets in order to get our LAZY FAT ASS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CONVICT SEVERAL POLICE OFFICER’S FOR BATTERING INNOCENT PEOPLE!
    Even then the FBI just gave those officer’s new identity’s so that they did not have to spend several month’s in prison, the FBI are known to use the WITNESS PROTECTION ACT TO COVER COPS BUTTS AND TO IGNORE LAWS AND CONVICTIONS OF OFFICER’S AND LITERATELY GIVE COPS A GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD!

    When you as a citizen ACTUALLY CHARGE A COP WITH A FELONY CRIME then you come face to face with what Fascism is all about, it’s all about covering the governments butt!

    These cops deliberately killed the man, and why the hell are they not identifying themselves right away as cops!?
    The mere idea that the wife had to tell her husband to get his gun suggests cops were at their door, making noises, and NOT IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES AS COPS!

    It sounds more like they wanted the occupants of the home to grab guns so they could justify killing the man inside!

    Why is the woman AWARE of the cops outside breaking in and NOT aware they are cops?
    Why are the cops outside before they break in yell out loud they are cops so the man inside does not have to get armed!?

    This sounds more like a set up killing to me, could it be the wife set up her husband? she knew the cops were out there, why would she tell her husband to get his gun if cops were outside saying their cops?

    This reeks of a staged murder, and I would not be surprised to learn that the wife was maybe having an affair with a cop or was pals with a cop.

    How many decades, yes decades, have police used the excuse “We will look at our own policies and procedures to make sure this never happens again!” garbage, cops have said that for decades, it don’t change anything!

      Terry you are a genius.

      You are gonna laugh. The key to dealing with cops is to control your fear. I occasionally have cops coming to my house and i just tell them off. You got the wrong house.
      They did get the wrong house. so they just walk off.
      I do not want any trouble from them. I do not need to harm anyone. Let them be someone problem. my neighbor is not my friend and is quick to call the cops should i piss them off or think i am doing to do something dangerous.
      Many years ago i was at my sister house. the old woman next door came out to take walk..
      i decide to play a prank on her. I told her i dont know what im gonna to do and that she better call the cops right now. she did.. the cops came 10 minute later..
      My sister say let her deal with it. It just one cop. he was wearing a funny hat. he would call backup should he fear he is in danger like all bullies. i told him it just a joke. he say you better be and just walk off. anyway, my neighbor and my sister are freak out so my sister do not like me to come to her home anymore. which is fine. i just realize how paranoid the world is since that day.
      I could have been arrested, tasered and charge with bs accusation but u know i really dont care. i am fed up with the corrupt system and how they can get away with anything.

    If you got a gun, they are trained to kill you. Having a gun is illegal according to these assassin dress in black uniform with a badge. Whether undercover or in uniform their behavior are the same. As undercover they have the advantage of blending in so nobody know. Have you notice talking about guns scare everyone to death? the cops run around with guns and disturb the peace. People who think cops exist to protect us obviously are condition to think this way and are coward themselves and would not fight back should a cop decide to use violence on them.
    the minute i talk about gun everybody around me would freak out. You must be a criminal. You are buying a gun to commit murder. Watch too much movie? is not in touch with reality? I am sick of this kind of people relatives included they are as dangerous as the cops are because that the kind of people that would call the cops on me due to fear of me harming them just for talking about gun rights. Why do ppl trust cops so much yet fear them due to the unknown? this is insanity. cops are insane so are most people. they can only do this because majority of people are lunatics too.
    Like i say the mass of slaves are hopeless. will never talk about the bad thing that cops do everyday and will get defensive the minute i mention about it. I do not care about the majority of people as they are nothing more then private property for the rich ruling class and the cops are their enforcer or should i say its what holding it together. if all cops were to quit their jobs. it would fall apart.. the problem is rich vs poor.
