The State is now conceding that the police informant in the case illegally broke into Frederick's home three nights before the raid. Until now, they had either denied the connection or refused to comment.Let me get this straight.
Frederick's attorney released an audio recording taken in a police car shortly after the raid. In it, Frederick tries to explain that he was confused and frightened because someone had broken into his home earlier in the week. A police detective replies, "We know that." In a second recording, the detective says again, "First off, we know your house had been broken into. OK?"
Their guy breaks in.
They say they know that.
But then they say they didn't know it was their guy.
It's tough following "Only One" versions some times. They get kind of...convoluted...

Radley Balko is a national treasure.
Lets see here: A man has his home broken into three nights before. The man is upset, worried because his home has been violated. He as most people would feel, a threat to their security in their own home. So he most likely is worried, and he protects himself with a firearm for protection in his own home. Hey! Kind of like what the USSC ruled folks have a Constitutional right to do so as the Heller ruling provides. So the cops have one of their people break into the guy's home. Then the cops smash into the guys home and he shoots killing one of the criminal's (the B&E bozo) partners in this crime.
The way I see it is the cops make this citizen a crime victim and this crime victim protected himself as the USSC has ruled he has a right to in his own home.
YAY We're so winning the War on Drugs!
*facepalm*
