Some of you have told me you're tired of reading about these incidents, that they only make you frustrated and angry.
I don't blame you. I'm getting pretty damn tired writing about them. But, I don't know of any way of stopping them, unless we publicize them first.
So, bear with me. And, if you can, tell your friends about these incidents. And write your congressmen about them. And write letters to your local papers about them. And call in to radio talk shows about them.
Police in Canton, Ohio shot and killed a man during a SWAT-style drug raid last week. He was in the shower at the time of the raid, and apparently brandished a gun at the raiding officers. He is a convicted felon, though his last crime was 13 years ago.
Police say the raid was conducted based on tips that there was drug dealing at the man’s home. So far, I haven’t read an account of the raid that mentions if the police found any illicit drugs.
