This raises questions as to whether there was any pistol in the home that was raided.
Police assassination and cover up.
If they were Obama supporters, there would be riots nationwide.
With the shoot-the-dog mindset....eventually, it’ll happen that a cop comes out to shoot some kid’s dog, and the kid grabs a shotgun and kills the cop.
Maybe it’s just me, but in the 1960s and 1970s...I just don’t remember any police or sheriff’s deputies coming out to a house and shooting some guy’s dog. Or did I just miss this stuff?
Let these be the last people killed in the Drug War.
Enough is enough.
but, "a gram of unknown white powder"!!!!!!
And the 18 grams of mj is about enough for 40 joints.
It always is - besides:
The Beretta AL-2 (probably what this was) was a 300 series gun rebranded by the importer to the US. They were brought in in the 70’s.
Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said the drug raid on the home stemmed from numerous complaints from neighbors. He said undercover officers had previously made two purchases of black tar heroin from drug dealers at the house.
Armed with a search warrant, nine narcotics detectives backed up by at least six patrol officers surrounded the home just before 5 p.m. on Monday.
After a 54-year-old officer, the lead investigator on the case, broke open the front door, a 33-year-old officer armed with a shotgun entered the residence and was immediately attacked by a pit bull, Acevedo said.
He said that the officer being attacked shot and killed the dog.
One of the suspects, Tuttle, charged from the back of the house firing a revolver at the officer, hitting him in the shoulder.
“He went down and fell on the sofa in the living room,” Acevedo said of the wounded officer. “A female suspect went towards that officer, reached over the officer and started making a move for his shotgun.”
Another officer who entered the house was allegedly shot by Tuttle.
Acevedo said officers opened fire, killing Nicholas and engaged in a gun battle with Tuttle.

Wow. These Americans were murdered.
Perhaps the surprising thing about the Roger Stone arrest was not that the level of force used was atypical, but that it is typical.
It's a grave injustice that the incompetent entry team isn't in the morgue as opposed to the homeowners - and their dog.
Thugs need to have their lives completely ruined.
The cops f***ed up, now its time to cover-up.
IIRC, the no-knock BS was so perps wouldn’t have a chance to flush the dope. I don’t approve of no-knock warrants under any circumstance. Too often innocent people are involved, and a data entry administrator mistake can cost lives. I, for one, would start shooting like mad if someone busted through my door, I don’t care what they yell, some are going down. You want to talk to me? Knock, identify yourself, and we’ll talk. There is no reason...no reason why a location can’t be staked out and the alleged perp arrested upon leaving. Everybody goes out at some point.
Well this is outrageous beyond all possible belief!
If a cop ain’t stupid, or corrupt, he will cover for those that are. Show me one that ever turned out a bad cop before they did damage. My guess 1 in a thousand? That too high?
I will leave my thoughts from the original raid thread here.
“No knock warrants are dangerous, of dubious constitutionality (not legal for this instance until 1995), and should only be reserved for the most severe cases. In ‘81 only 3000 no knock warrants were signed. In ‘05 alone 50,000 no knock warrants were signed and carried out. A number which has certainly grown since then.
I personally do not care about the people in question, nor this particular raid in general. I care about the rights of my fellow Americans, and the seemingly constant eroding of those rights under the guise of safety, or for our own good, or for the children. I reject those arguments outright.”
And this quote, which I found somewhere (not sure of the author).
“Police-state style assault forces being used to violently enter a persons residence when that person is not actively engaged in violent acts are incompatible with life in a free society.
As it is better a hundred guilty go free than one innocent person be imprisoned. So too is it better a hundred guilty destroy evidence of their guilt than one innocent person’s life be risked or worse ended by an extremely violent breach of the peace initiated by agents of the State.”
These no-knock raids should be banned except in very rare circumstances and then there should be a civilian body that reviews and approves them first.
That may as well be the last line of the article, because after you read it you know the whole story.
