Police smell meth, raid home, kill 80-year-old man, find no meth

A neighbor who became a Sheriff described the smell of meth to me once as smelling like a hot/burned cd. Not sure if he meant burning as in fire, or the smell of a freshly burned as in imprinted with data, but that’s a distinctive enough hot plasticky smell with chemical overtones. From what I remember of how pot smells it’s absolutely nothing alike...not an aficionado of the stuff but I remember from others having it around that it smelled, well, plant-y.

Either way...not buying this.

I postulate they smelled pot and upgraded their story after they filled Grandpa full of holes.

The sheriff’s department insists that the marijuana vindicates the raid.

Pigs will be pigs.

[shouts] "NO, I SAID I SMELLED DEATH!"

[dfwgator]

Oooh Oooh that smell. Can’t you smell that smell?

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.

I tried that once. Didn't work.

I would be happy to learn of one instance where it did work.

[Mr. Lucky]

My citation should have been to 42 USC 1983. Google on something to the effect of "Police jury award" and you should find dozens of successful judgments.

Good little serf.....get on your knees and beg for your next meal.

[Anton.Rutter]

I can think of no reason that you would address me thus other than you are a cowardly POS who needs to feel a little better about himself.

Of course, you are at liberty to offer an alternative explanation.

[loungitude]

leads one to believe that cops are shooting innocent seniors, dogs, children, paperboys and anything else looking suspicious every day.

I believe it.

[Las Vegas Ron]

LOL....enjoy your stay troll bootie.

[Anton.Rutter]

What a sad and effeminate retreat. You must be tired.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Tick tick tick....see ya.

Another victory in the war on drugs./s

And another example of claiming they "protect and serve" while killing innocent taxpayers forced to fund lucrative benefits and pensions. Maybe this outrage has existed in the pre-internet past, but we never heard about it, because the only media we had was limited cable TV or off the air. There is something particularly irksome when those we pay well to protect us are entering our locked homes and killing us or pets.
