Quote:Sounds like another causality from the war on drugs. Shouldn't be surprised no knock warrants are going to lead to casualties on both sides. All because what they thought he was involved in narcotics? Is it really worth it anymore?

 

I'm not sure how legally how all this plays out. It would require looking more into it, but the entire situation is avoidable. We just need to end the failed notion that we can wage a moral war against substance abuse.

 

I think you are correct. In both cases I linked, the police suspected drug dealers were inside. At the rick of being accused of race baiting, I find it interesting that the man in the first case is black and was indicted, the second man is whte and was not indicted. The difference may be that other officers were also shot by Guy, and they are in different jurisdictions. Still, both instances stink. Men lost lives over something that should not even be illegal.
