Police knocked on the wrong door in the middle of the night at the Mississippi home of Ismael Lopez.

When he opened the door, his dog ran out.

They shot and killed it.

He was holding a rifle. They told him to put it down.

According to the MBI – the police who police the police in MS – there is no evidence that Lopez was holding a gun. The gun was six feet away and Lopez’ fingerprints and DNA weren’t on it.
