Wow Good is Evil and Evil is Good

So really I just love defense attorneys.

"Matthew is now facing the death penalty for defending himself in his home,"

This is the part that makes me mad, really he shoots 6 police officers and kills 1 of them. The police did a "Knock and Announce" search warrant where the police announce who they are and enter the home. He knew it was the police, he has no regard for life. Now these people are supporting a cop killer.

There are 2 sides to every story. The truth should come out in court. I will say this; If Matt is telling the truth that his alarm clock woke him, not the cops, and that he heard people rummaging through his house and he was just defending his castle then I think he should go free. Once ANYONE starts shooting at me, I'm continuing to fire upon them until that threat is gone, even if they are cops. My life is more valuable to me than all of theirs.
I have not seen any evidence that Matt was growing weed and from what I have read it was a spurned girlfriend that told the cops that Matt was growing weed even though he hadn't yet. He may have had the grow lights and accessories for that but unless he actually had weed growing the search warrant was worthless.
More importantly, it is the prevailing attitude of the majority of police forces that they prefer escalation of violence to quietly subdued operations. I am good friends with a few cops and they relish bloodying those they roust, whether the subject is guilty or not, resisting or not.

It's very sad any time anyone gets killed for no reason but in this case I lean towards blaming the cops for getting their own killed.

From the KSL article:

"An emotional Gabriel Stewart, the suspect's brother, asked: "I want to know what the police were protecting you all from."

That is the big question. Why are we still fighting this wicked war on drugs that does nothing but fill our court systems and prisons with (normally) non-violent citizens?

Another case of overexuberance on the cop's part kills the chief...

Do the police have the 'right' to knock and enter your/my property whenever they feel the urge? I assert they do NOT! What was his crime, or alleged crime that 'warranted' busting into his home? Growing a PLANT! Is that worthy of such action? Again, I assert it did NOT!
