Lawsuit? After a guy gets killed and the thugs with badges get away?

$2.00 worth of pot? Sounds like three roaches and some seeds.

Hmmm. As I thought. Victim of police was white which is why no big national stories. So sharpton and jesse can stand down.

If you live in Florida, sign the petitions to legalize marijuana. The police enforcement of this law has led to more arrests, SWAT raids and imprisonment for minor possession than any other laws.

But wait! There’s more!
The informant who triggered the raid falsely told the police that the victim was a dealer. And now...

A 50-year-old felon and drug addict, Ronnie Bodie Coogle, was the principal Tampa Police Department informer against at least five suspects this year. He conducted nine undercover operations. In their probable-cause affidavits, his handlers called him reliable. Even Tampas police chief praised his track record.
Coogle said they were all wrong. He said he repeatedly lied about suspects, stole drugs he bought on the publics dime and conspired to falsify drug deals.

This happened a year ago, a CI told the cops he was growing the stuff, and when they entered the home Jason picked up his gun before he was shot. There is always more to a story than what it seems at first blush.

In many of these cases it is quite simply faulty information or sloppy research. In this case it was trusting an informant who was a liar (I guess the cops have never heard "trust but verify"). Police used to do detective work and confirm the details before acting. Now they have reversed that pattern because they are never held liable (though the taxpayers take it in the shorts).
Love your tag line. Now I'm hungry.

Kind of tough to go strong and hard against pot when the GOP-e is in the back pocket of the drug lobbyist.
just saying, it depends who’s ox is being gored.

We are a totalitarian fascist state and the police are doing things like this to terrify the population.

Not absolving the police but I have a few questions.
Was he pointing a gun at police when he was shot?
Should not the CI bear some responsibility for this? He admitted that he lied to the police.

Exactly
Once upon a time they would simply get a warrant, knock on the door, talked to the guy like civilized people, and take it from there.
unless the perp is a known mad dog, why go directly to army man mode?
Modern police training is criminal.
