One of the occupants fired on the officers as soon as they entered, the police returned fire, and Ms. Taylor was struck and killed.
If this is true there is your answer Taylor family, sorry poor choice of friends, cash advance may be in jeopardy although the snakes will find a way to get some to you at the tax payers expense even though the search was legit
Cops come into my place at night, unannounced, they will get fired on too.
There is simply no excuse for noknock raids. NONE. All the smartass sneers about gov leeches and how bad these people were are totally irrelevant. What we have here is state sanctioned murder and cops playing Rambo.
I for one am really glad the “old” contingent of conservatives who will happily condone murder, fascism, and tyranny in the name of law and order are dying out.
I don’t do dope, don’t encourage anyone else to take dope, and think it is really really bad. That said, it is not the job of the state to kill its citizens with the monstrously stupid justification that drug takers are lawbreakers, and that drugs are bad. I honest to God cannot tell the difference between some “conservatives” and left wing fascists.
Both of them want to use the state to force you to behave, and will happily send in the goon squad to have you killed if you resist.... or in this case, even if you don’t resist.
