However, the officers’ version of events differs drastically from that given by Lopez’ wife and their neighbor.
According to Linares, Lopez’ spouse, there was no yelling, and her husband was not armed when he answered the door. All she heard was a series of gunshots shortly after her husband had gotten up, with no instructions being uttered. The couple’s neighbor stated something similar, denying that any yelling had occurred.
As bad as this already sounds, it gets worse: The officers who shot Lopez were at the wrong house. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
[The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
