COLLATERAL DAMAGE
Re: 14-year sentence angers police leadership.
The police and the public need to question why the police are doing
no-knock raids for petty drug "crimes".
When someone breaks into your house it is your right to protect
yourself and your family. It would seem the police are more at fault
for what happened than anyone. If they had simply knocked on the door
and waited for this person to answer, no one would have been shot or
scared to death. Just more collateral damage from the failed "war on drugs".
