The shooting was deemed legally justified. [More]Who cares? He's just a dead druggie, right?
I mean, this could never happen to one of us.
Could it?

We're the Only Ones Legally Justified Enough
I mean, this could never happen to one of us.
Could it?

"Turned" deadly. "Went wrong."
No. The officer who put three in Mr. Blair's kill zone was all warmed up like an IPSC shooter trying to establish a personal best time.
I've sent a link to the video to my congressional representatives and the governor of MY state. It happens here. It needs to stop.
If there's a hostage, and ONLY then, do you get tactical against people's HOMES. But then, I guess, it will be claimed that family members are POTENTIAL hostages. And dogs and cats.
And STILL Travis Corcoran gets arrested for even IMPLYING that the Congressional rubber-stampers of this behavior should get some payment in kind.
It's "a threat." They say if he surrenders his guns, he can keep his gun LICENSE pending trial. He does, and they take his license anyway.
Gotcha!
A strange way to convince us that we're paranoid for believing our rights are in ANY danger.
Ian comments at opposingviews.com:
"It's a sad incident, but the police don't seem to be too concerned or it wouldn't have been filmed. Also, according to current laws in America, one can't help but realize this victim put himself in that situation by disobeying them. If he wasn't breaking the law he simply wouldn't have been raided. He made a choice and it was the wrong one. Now whether the law is right or wrong is another issue, but it is the law and it was being ignored. Why do so many people put their lives in danger over marijuana?"
I hope he's being ironic. I doubt it.
Not that Blair has morphed into a suspected "meth dealer" after the fact. Just like the Branch Davidians at Waco. Accusations of child molestation next?
I don't care if he was a drug dealer, they never gave him a chance to surrender.
That was murder.
Former police commissioner Burge of Chicago, whose cops tortured suspects in order to get confessions, was sentenced to four and a ahlf years in prison. He apologized for tarnishing the reputation of the Chicago police Deaprtment, He did NOT apologize for causing pain and false imprisonment.
