    Guess what, you don't have to live here! That's what gets me about progressives. There are already countries setup the way they want but they want to destroy this one. In England most cops don't even have guns. Maybe you would be happier there. I am perfectly happy here with the way things are with law enforcement. Of course I'm not a dirty, low down, drug dealing criminal so I guess I don't have much to worry about. The fact that they do, doesn't cause me to lose any sleep at night.

    1. I am not a progressive
    2. No knock warrants are evil
    3. What was she charged with, and what was her conviction date? As far as I know, she was merely suspected to be in a relationship with a drug dealer. She wasn't convicted of any crime, so should not be called a criminal.

    PS: No knock warrants are evil.

    I hear stories about people knocking on doors claiming to be from the government, but they are actually scams. If someone busts into my house while I'm sleeping, my brain isn't going to default to, "it must be a cop!"

    Prosecutors later dropped charges against Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, who fired back at police with a licensed handgun. Walker said he did not know the men busting into the apartment were cops.
    This is from the article in the OP. So if you fire back, that means someone else fired first correct?

    Everyone lies, and those that say they don't are liars ;)

    What doesn't lie is body camera footage.

    A code red shooting (execution?) that bothers me happened in MD back in March and the Police have yet to release the body camera footage. When police won't release body camera footage they are likely liars.

    Holy Cow! Can you imagine what it would be like here in the U. S. if our police didn't have firearms (like in Britain)...?!

    Oh, wait -- not only do >SOME< people want police to be FORBIDDEN to protect themselves (and the rest of us) -- THEY DON'T EVEN WANT THERE TO BE ANY POLICE DEPARTMENTS AT ALL! :psychoitc:

    Still a little murky but one officer charged and seems more based on the NUMBER of shots fired, not murder but reckless endangerment. Still waiting for the AG to speak. This helps explain why the city was making such preparations the lynch mob will not be satisfied with the charges.

    They'd better get this announcement out before Friday night. These places always get even worse on the weekends... especially at night.

    Officiers announced their presence it was NOT a "no knock" warrant.

    Watch the lynch mob riots begin.

    You can be a drug user and not die from it. So it's only poison if dosage is not controlled. Hell water is poison if you drink too much.

    People OD in alcohol every year. You gonna let the whiskey merchants be charged with killing drinkers?

    You would be doing that if consistent. And that would be crazy thinking.

    It used to be against the law to marry another race. We finally saw govt has no right to do that!

    Neither should it be taking away freedom if we want to get high. Regardless if beer or opium.

    But the fact remains that dealing in drugs is an illegal act and one surrounded by violence and if you are going to date a drug dealer and have them sleeping in your house do not be surprised if violence follows them there. You place yourself in that danger.

    But too many times the hysteria over drugs kill innocent people. Which is avoidable by getting rid of busting into a mans home! Over some substance that people use to get high.

    When govt has no business involving itself with personal sovereignty. Involving what we consume.

    Lol. The illegality sure worked on booze. In fact the stupid prohibition gave us more violence as organized crime stepped in.

    The war on drugs creates more crime and cartels. Brilliant stupidity!

    Do you believe government can force you to have medical insurance that covers the consequences of your having been high?

    All the war on drugs does is make criminals out of law abiding citizens who prefer marijuana over beer. The violence is due to the limit on my freedom.

    People are all up in arms because *GASP* they have to wear a mask in the name of public safety. But, we don't have any right to put marijuana in our bodies, even though it harms absolutely nobody else. There's no public safety issue with my ingesting marijuana in the evenings.

    Yes! I heard that from another very credible source just this morning. It WASN'T a 'no-knock' warrant -- they DID announce themselves -- and were fired upon!

    There has been one "token" indictment (a little immediate 'red meat' for the mob), but it won't stand up five minutes in a court of law!

    The takeaway? Don't run with criminals and you stand a much better chance of not ending up being "collateral-damage" yourself....
