Crims posing as police - who was it that was looking for these cases?

A suspect knocked at the front door of the home and told the woman who answered they were police officers who needed to search it, Madof said.

At least one suspect had a police patch embroidered on his shirt. A suspect ordered the woman to wait in a rear bedroom, Madof said.

“She thought they were officers and she was doing what she was told,” Madof said.


If she only had previously filed a notice of trespass then her radar would have been better attuned. And if she had a gun in here kitchen, she could have played along, got the gun and started shooting. "You want some coffee? I'll make some for you and your fellow heroes..(open place with gun) etc".

Or better yet never open your door to the police as they will kill your pets and probably grenade your children and then rob their corpses.

Why did she not ask for the warrant? Did she "just comply" with their "requests"?

The article doesn't say she was particularly intelligent.

"The woman described one suspect as a man between 20 and 30 years old." Thanks, ma'am. That certainly narrows it down...

Who is claiming that they were not cops. Do we have evidence that confirms that they were not cops? Or, is it only the cops claiming that the intruders were not cops.

Good point. I suppose since they haven't been identified, it's possible that some or all of them are police officers.

Folks instinctively, reflexively, believe that these crimes could not possibly be perpetrated by cops. Hell, we can't even get cops who kill innocent citizens held to account. Why, because cops are permitted to investigate themselves.
