Police overstep their bounds
Article about the brutal and incompetent war on drugs, via the Agitator:
By then, Troy Davis had come out with a gun to defend his home (at least according to cops at the scene — Davis’ family isn’t so sure). The SWAT team put a bullet in his chest, and another in his stomach. He was pronounced dead at the scene. According to all parties at the scene, his last words were, “I didn’t know. I didn’t know.” Cops found some GHB, three marijuana plants, and some marijuana stored in plastic bags.
The police woke Davis with a battering ram at his door in the middle of the night. If they’d waited until morning and knocked, well, maybe things would have been a little differant. Article goes on to detail layer upon incompetent layer of stupidly.
