When Tony Arambula managed to corner an armed intruder in his son's bedroom he expected police to come to his aid.

Instead, a Phoenix police officer confused Arambula for the intruder and shot him six times before realizing his mistake, a moment captured on the 911 call with a simple "F**k."

Even after realizing their mistake, Arambula said he was treated roughly, being dragged out of the house and transported briefly on the hood of a police car.

Now Arambula, 35, who survived but faces a lifetime of pain, is suing the city of Phoenix and the officers who responded to his house that night.

The lawsuit, filed in Maricopa County Court, alleges that Phoenix Police Officer Brian Lilly and his on-scene supervisor, Sgt. Sean Coutts, quickly conspired to cover up the mistake, not realizing that 911 was still recording Arambula's call for help.

Phoenix PD has a bad reputation for this kind of thing. I guess I'm lucky it hasn't happened to me yet. :)

Sorry for the repost guys.

Police, not just here in Maricopa County, but across the country, are given a license to kill... a monopoly on force, and they have no problem using it, and lying to justify it.

Take care of the intruder, and call the city to pickup the garbage.
