DEATH OF WOMAN, 92, HIGHLIGHTS VIOLATION OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS

On the streets of (you name the city), I get information of drugs in a
home. Some friends and I get our guns, kick in the door and enter the
home yelling and screaming orders. We are meet by a 92-year-old woman
with a gun; the woman is killed. We get mandatory sentences of 25
years to life in prison.

Now change the scenario, give us police badges and assign us to the
narcotics division. Nothing else changes. No charges are ever be
filed, no one held accountable ("92-year-old Atlanta woman killed in
shootout with officers," Nov. 23).

These and other violations of our constitutional rights must stop.
When the commander in chief accepts torture to obtain information for
the greater good, where are we heading?
