It might not have been the best idea to storm the house when they knew infants were there?

I don’t like it, and I’m pretty darn supportive of the police.

The woman who was shot already had 6 kids aged 1,3,4,5,6 & 8?

Pit bulls in the house?

Drug dealing with kids there?

Man, this story just says so much about urban life, no?

The dealer was hiding behind kids to ply his trade. Not sure why the cops needed to make this raid or why they needed to shoot but the victim and her boy friend contributed to this whole mess....

I agree. It is a tradeoff between risking the life of 7 innocents to bust a low level drug dealer, which has killed a mother, maimed a child, and left 6 children motherless. A totally irresponsible decision for which the Lima taxpayers will pay heavily.

If the police made that rule, then ALL drug houses would find it beneficial to use infants as human shields. More infants would likely be harmed because more would be around the dangerous, violent drug houses.

Funny. I was thinking that it might not have been the best idea for a mother of six infants to allow a felon convicted of drug trafficking and weapons charges to sell drugs from her house.

"Community leaders expressed outrage last night but urged calm to the crowd of about 300 people who marched with family members"

Too bad those "community leaders" and 300 people didn't stand outside her house months ago chanting, "No more drugs in our neighborhood!" and forced this scumbag out.

If you know the dealer's name and address, why not bust him at the grocery store? Or the strip club? Or the pool hall? No reason whatsoever to go into his house, onto his territory, to arrest him.
