No knock warrant which means they break down the door and/or windows and charge in. There's reference in the article to supposed cameras on the premises which the cops used to justify the no knock warrant.
Exactly all for what? It is not like cops, good or bad, can stop the trade in something people want. And who know if the guy they planted something by for the dogs to find really was a drug dealer or just some poor schmoe walking down the street.
That is my view, chickens need to be in another line of business. Being a cop, particularly a good honest cop is dangerous work. It is not a job for some chicken who is not willing to risk life or limb.
Exactly “SOP in the war on drugs.”
48,000 of the above is what we taxpayers will spend this year alone on this WOD’s. Money I think would be better spent in our War on Islamic fascism.
All you had to do was look at the woman that was killed. There is no way she shot like those cops claimed. It was very obvious to anyone that knows anything about guns.
We agree on the transfer of government spending to the WOT, or WOIF if you like, too.
Did the drug warriors leave the building with the “Rudy for President” contingent? I wonder if there is a correlation there.
Of course anyone would be ashamed to defend the police state acts in this case. And many people are in deep denial about the multitude of cases like this.
No knock warrants...secret courts...”sneak and peek” warrantless searchs...on and on. Land of the free? HA!

And all other areas of law enforcement.
I remember this incident from the initial story back when but..WHOA!! They cuffed her and let her bleed out while they planted evidence??!
Does anyone know what these scumbags plead guilty to? .Some of the articles on the internets say it was voluntary manslaughter, others involuntary manslaughter (along with the violation of his oath of office, making false statements, criminal solicitation, and perjury).
From the article:
“An unidentified store owner kicked in another $100 to entice White to go along with the play.”
^^^^^ I Would love to know the story behind this gem.
These Atlanta cops were heros to several Freepers back in November but for some reason they are staying away from the most current threads as if it contained bird flu.
mornin, love the screenname!!!
How true. Planting evidence, covering up their own crimes, conspiracy. These cops are a disgrace.
SOP for cop machismo as well.
Because cops are special! They get to do all kinds of “special” stuff - like going 91 mph with flashy lights so a Governor can get to his planet-altering meeting with Don Imus and the RU B-Ball team.
/s
I have an idea, lets arm the citizens and DISarm the cops...or at least put speed governors (no pun intended) on their cars.
Well, they are cops.
This is an outrage, an absolute outrage. I find it particularly galling that they never figured out who fired the fatal bullet, in this age of ballistics (so much for the liberals’ treasured “ballistic fingerprint” scheme).
Vetias. 100%.
It's demographics. They type of person who WANTS to be a cop is in most cases NOT the kind of person YOU want to see as a cop. Especially if they are local.
