Pulled this up for another thread, thought it deserved a thread of its own.

May they watch over us all.

Some real horror stories..some probably justified....

Submitted by LastAmericanStanding on Mon, 06/22/2009 - 17:43.

Well, when I say 'justified' I mean, justifiable in terms of law and common sense. When a Viet Nam vet sits on his front porch with a rifle and says "You'll have to kill me first." the local SWAT team will be more than obliging.

Balance that with the 88 year old bed-ridden grandmother shot to death during a drug raid - on the wrong house - and you begin to see the validity in the calls for the end to this 'war on drugs'.

Certainly there is enough there to make anyone's blood boil. I know mine is.

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

being taunted justifies murder?

Why do they ALWAYS shoot to kill?
A Viet Nam Vet has served his country, and for his efforts he probably has a few loose screws and a habit. Can't we just wing him, and let him sober up?

Why are they there? Are they at the right house? Did he even commit a crime, or was sitting on his porch pissed off at the "War On Drugs" crime enough?

I prefer to have my justification fit "what is right" rather than what is legal. The laws of this land are not something I hold in much esteem. Common sense, on the other hand, would say "don't kill people for non-violent CHARGES." Remember, ALL these people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Taunting? Threatening police with a rifle is taunting??

Go to your happy place. I'm agreeing with you.
