Johnston Home Invasion Officers Indicted

A grand jury has indicted three current and former police officers in the November shooting death of an elderly Atlanta woman during a police raid.
We've talked about the Kathryn Johnston outrage before here on WarOnGuns. It would be nice to think that justice will be done, but I'm suspending judgment. Besides, nothing will bring that poor soul back to life.

If I were optimistic, I'd hope this would be a catalyst for the American people to rethink when no-knock dynamic entries are truly justified--like, say, at Virginia Tech. You'll notice when it's just a little old lady, no one in body armor is hiding behind trees.
