Los Angeles County deputies raided the home of Eugene Mallory and Tonya Pate. Authorities claim they had probable cause to search the premises because they could smell chemicals used to make methamphetamine while standing outside the house. Police suspected Mallory of being involved in an illegal meth ring.
Mallory was asleep in bed when police entered his home. Pate said her husband has bad eyesight, and couldn’t tell that the men entering the house were police officers without his glasses. The deputies claim that Mallory pointed a gun at them, requiring them to take defensive measures. They shot him six times, and he died.
Police found no meth, nor evidence of a meth operation, inside the house. They did find marijuana — in Pate’s son’s room.
The sheriff’s department insists that the marijuana vindicates the raid.
“There was a drug operation that was certainly going on in this house,” said Whitmore.

Another example of:
1. Shoot first
2. Concoct story later
3. Superiors will justify
Becoming much too frequent!
If a gang of subjects did this they would be facing premeditated murder charges but since it was representatives of the crown the laws for subjects does not apply.
Legal positions for LEOs are considered "fluid"...
...and a DOG, for heaven’s sake!!
The blind man walked past the meth lab and said, “Good morning, gentlemen.”
Oh wait... He said, “Good morning, ladies.” And it was a fish market.
So even though the old man was completely innocent, it is justifiable to bust into his home and kill him, just because some loser staying there had some marijuana?
The police are the enemy, along with the Democrats!
If one supports the drug war, then they also support this.
Surely you know the difference between “tired” and “tiresome.”
Address the issue or shut your trap.
I thought pot was decriminalized in CA.
26 US Code Section 1983 imposes substantial personal liability on those who, under the color of law, deprive someone of rights protected either by the Constitution or federal law.
Thank you for that information. I still maintain that it would be very unusual to see a police officer sued as an individual. Lawyers, as you well know, target the deep pockets of the police department, the city, etc.
The snarky attitude on my part is a reaction to being insulted. I tend to go at things tit for tat and I make no apology for that.
I do understand your point, though.

“That Smell”
Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you’re in my way
There’s too much coke and too much smoke
Look what’s going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink fool, will drown you
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Now they call you Prince Charming
Can’t speak a word when you’re full of ‘ludes
Say you’ll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Hey, you’re a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before
One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

“The tax payers pay any lawsuits against police departments...”
