“because I’m not a drug dealer and have more chance of being hit by a drunk driver than I have being raided by LEOs by mistake.”

Well isn’t that nice. I bet the little old lady in Atlanta thought that too.
All it takes is one informant to claim you sold him drugs and you may have some nice jackboots kicking in your door.

We have a policy in this country, Innocent until proven guilty. That means everyone a SWAT team has ever shot was innocent unless they were an escaped felon. An arrest warrant is not a death warrant and neither is s search warrant. Destruction of evidence should not justify deadly force.

The jackboot-lickers should tremble when they reflect that God is just.

I’ve often wondered who really shot the cops that got killed in the Ogden bust.

Actually, you are wrong on all points, but I’ll be gentle

It takes much more than one dime dropper to get a NKW. Usually u/c sworn officers made at least 3 buys.

Secondly, perps who end up dead get that way because they were stupud enough to point guns at the LEOs, not because they sold drugs.

Are mistakes made? Certainly, but not enough to have you pro-druggies win the point

Nice try. But it is well establish that all you actually need to have cops in your home shooting things is bad luck and cops that are bad at directions.

“Ever been in a firefight?”

Completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand. Unless you are trying to claim you have been (anyone can lie on the internet) and that it somehow makes your opinion worth more (it doesn’t).

High level drug dealers are ready to kill anyone, LEOs, people who take their drugs, absolutely anyone who gets in their way in order to make money.

They are worse than enemy ombatants.

I have met former NVA and VC who fought against me in RVN. They were fighting for a cause they believed to be right and just.

So did we.

Knowing some of them now, older, mellowed and wiser, I can tell you most are now men of honor. They deserved the Geneva protections.

Drug dealers do not.

When the drug alcohol was illegal, its dealers were ready to kill anyone.

Made perfect sense to me - which part are you having trouble with?
