A Habersham County grand jury has decided not to charge any of the law enforcement officers involved in the botched drug raid that disfigured a toddler.

Nineteen-month-old Bounkham “Bou Bou” Phonesavanh’s nose was detached from his face after a stun grenade landed in his playpen during the raid, carried out by a Habersham SWAT team in May.

How on earth could they not find at minimum a charge of negligence?!?

So I guess the cliche has to be updated: a grand jury could indict a ham sandwich (unless its wearing a badge).

This is sickening.

So, at what point are the police to be held responsible for their actions?

In his book about Chappaquiddick, Leo Damore mentioned that grand juries have tremendous power but generally they only know what the prosecutor tells them.

Step by step, outrage by outrage, “law enforcement” erases the reservoir of good will it had once built up with the citizens it should serve. We slide inevitably (it seems) toward the obliteration of that good will.

This will end badly.

Ya, lets forget all about their choice to carelessly toss a dangerous weapon blindly into a room. Cops no longer care if they harm people. I don’t know if they ever really did care.

Other professionals are expected to have a higher demand for getting it right. Cops? They expect far lower competency levels. What does that say about their own confidence in themselves?

They would have walked on that charge too. I wonder if they can sue for medical bills?

For all the wrong reasons, it’s about to reach its crescendo in Missouri.
