Ok, First of all i would say who the fuck are you to tell them how to handle things. When you become part of the SWAT let me see how you react. I bet you have no clue how that even works do you? Do you know how hard they train. Lets keep it this way, I live over in New Jersey, And i am only 15. We go up to camden and also pennsauken, to play at a real SWAT house. This house is used for every Kind of Law Enforcement Agency. Now remember we are just playing paintball, but being traied by an Ex-Navy Seal. But do you know how your heart beats around every corner you go. I don't think you relize what exactly goes on do you. They are pretty much trained to not shoot untill they see movement. Now if were in the swat and you were called out to go to this house, And your the point-man In the stack(If you Even now what that means) And im coming around the corner now all of a sudden someone pops out in front of you. Ohh yea are you just going to let them walk right by??? When your in there it is a whole diffrent world. How do you know that Anothny Terry didn't have a gun. Do you know that bullets can go through walls, well if u did. Did yo ever come to think that the kid was hit by axident. What do you think thier going to be perfect?? Well anyway i just wanted to give you a little example and next time you should think twice bud. Remember Im Only 15 To!

I started to answer Kevin's comment, but it grew so long I turned it into a new post.

I personally think that the swat team should have taken more precaution, in the matter. If they did an investigation, they should've known that six kids, and two pitt-bulls where present. If they were properly trained, they should have an accurate aim. I'm from Arkansas, but I lived in Lima Ohio for six years, and I think that law enforcement there is a bit aggressive, mainly in the black community. I got pulled over by six officers in three cars one night, for having one head-light. I felt like a wanted felon. That's Lima for yah. My prayer goes out to the family of the victim. We need to stop dealers, true enough. We also need to stop police brutality. What's going on pastor Arnold manley? I'm your drummer from Arkansas. NaTraun.

Yeah, enter and clear a room with taser or pepper spray first. You people are a joke. If you thought someone and not to mention a felon was in your hose when you came home, you would probably be too cowardly to go in there at all.

Now you are going into the felon’s house, know drug house, violent offenses, are you still going in pepper spray first?? I think not.

Lure them out of the house?? This is not a hostage situation or a murder suspect only or a child molester. They went to the house because it was a drug house. It would defeat the purpose if you let them come out at their own leisure, you dip shits!
They would just take a couple minutes and flush all the drugs instead of going to jail for 30 years, don't you think?

You sell drugs you put you're dogs at risk. You sell drugs you put you're kids at risk. You sell drugs you put you house and vehicle and all of you money at risk. Don't sell drugs!

That being said the person that has all of this at risk; do you think they are going to come quietly??
And lets revisit that the cops already knew they were felons and violent. Did you? Did the neighbors or the activists? Probably not!

When you people start doing a service for your community then you start entering houses with pepper spray and tasters and do things your way. Until then shut the hell up and let the professional do their jobs. They don't come to McDonalds and tell you how to flip burgers do they? Or come down to the office and tell you how to put on a pot of coffee and make a power point slide, do they?

It’s sad to see that the only people that have their heads in the clouds about what the real world is like and what human nature is are the people the bleeding hearts, the biggest mouths and the blind folds on!

Major

Kevin and Major are obviously the same person, most likely a cop online pretending to be a kid and a regular citizen.

Does anyone have anything to say about the fact that an innocent woman was murdered in her own home and her baby was shot by militarized police because they "suspected" that someone may be using drugs? Hello..

These cops probably went home that night and consumed an "approved" drug called alcohol after murdering someone because they thought that maybe someone else in her house might be consuming a "non-approved" drug?

Where is the sanity here?

There's not a lot of sanity out there, but so few people seem to notice or care. Thanks for stopping by.

By the way, Kevin's IP address traces back to New Jersey whereas the Major is from Florida. They just have a similar mindset.

@Kevin P - You are an absolute idiot. This is my home town and I know the victim's family as well as the police officer involved. This raid was handled badly. The investigation was handled badly and the outcome of the trial was pathetic. An almost all white police force in a racist town, a white cop murders an innocent, unarmed young black mother of 6 who was not even a suspect, then gets acquitted by an all white jury??? Shut the fuck up.

These SOB "swat guys" are so hellbent on being " tough", they don't care if you're black or white. They may have 2 yrs. ago. Now, they've gotten away with killing an innocent mom and injuring an innocent baby, they're out to prove they can do anything. And yes, they certainly DO use excessive force. I'm a 60 yr. old mom. I went up to ask for my son's phone back. The had taken him in for questioning and let him go, but took his phone. Two months later they had not given it back, so I went to ask them for it. They said they couldn't help me and "dismissed" me. Yes, I used a couple of swear words. "Angie Dickenson" wannabe threw handcuffs on me, and literally threw me in jail. I have never had a parking ticket or anything. The judge took one look at me and gave me a $25.00 fine. he said it was ridiculous. Today, my son was arrested for being in a house they said had drugs. They broke his hand and gave him a black eye. These people are so far out of control, it's crazy. We've lived in our home for 30 yrs. We will be leaving Lima as soon as possible. I truly hate those people.

It sounds like you're doing the right thing by leaving.
