Lima has a bad drug reputation, which it deserves. And, we need a SWAT team because of the gangs. This happened in a drug infested area. The cop who killed her is devastated, as is the town. There was a demonstration last night, and they are calling for Sharpton and/or Jackson, though it wasn’t a racially motivated raid. The crack house had been under investigation for some time. What happened is unfortunate, and after a couple thousand like raids, this is the first time something like this happened. We won’t know what really went on until after BCI conducts its investigation. I live here, and hate what is going on.
That's got to be the busiest SWAT team in the nation, for a 40,000 member community. Excuse me, but I'd like to see some statistics supporting your 'facts' on these raids because, quite frankly, they are unbelievable.
My sister lives in Defiance, and my twin and fellow Freeper - NCKerr, just moved from Defiance six months ago. I spent months in the Defiance/Lima area this summer due to work, so I know Allen and Defiance Counties fairly well. Lima is not big enough to warrant having a SWAT team and it isn't that bad of a town. And, Toledo isn't that close; 80 miles of corn fields separate Toledo from Lima. This story is ridiculous on all fronts.
