“Marijuana and crack cocaine were found in the house.” If this mother of several was aware of drugs in the home then she is to blame.

This happens to people, white or black, more and more often lately. The idea of staging a swat type raid on people because of drugs is simply wrong. Are you going to tell me this woman holding a baby was resisting arrest? Drug dealers can be arrested in daylight hours away from their homes without doing unconstitutional no knock warrents. I don't care if a judge says these warrents are ok, they are unconstitutional. This woman may have been aware of the drugs, she is NOT to blame for getting shot. They weren't raiding a serial killers home or some terrorists strong hold, they were busting into a private citizens home in the hopes of fame and glory and killed a woman who shouldn't have been killed, or do we have the death penalty for drug dealers now?

The only ones to blame for this death and baby mutilation are the police who raided this house. We need to stop these swat teams now, they grown out of hand and result in several deaths a year, often times in a raid on the wrong house.

I would love to see what justification the cops used for shooting this woman.

WE don’t know the facts surrounding the shooting.
What did she do that prompted the shooting, if anything?

Yes you are exactly right when saying the cops should not have been there in the first place. Not for drugs. But they were.
And as things stand the cops came because they wanted to play military force and bust drug dealers.
The cops should have surveyed the folks and picked them up outside the home.
Seems every two bit city, berg, or govt agency nowadays have swat teams just itching to go bust in doors. That is not necessary.
