Found this interesting: Indiana passed a new law and is the first state to allow citizens to shoot law enforcement officers. It allows residents to use deadly force against public servants, including law enforcement officers, who unlawfully enter their homes. It was signed by Republican Governor Mitch Daniels in March.

Protecting the alcohol/tobacco merchants of death from cheaper, non-toxic, non-addictive pot. There is not a single recorded case of pot causing any permanent damage to the brain or body. Even when abused beyond all limits. Without violent prohibition on pot, it would take a gigantic chunk of profit from these industries.

Also to protect the tax revenues from alcohol/tobacco. Pot can be grown by any moron with a few sq ft of soil and sun anywhere in the USA including Alaska (where personal possession and growing up to 9 plants is legal). It is much harder to avoid tax on alcohol and tobacco.

Have you seen the arsenal of weapons that some of these thugs possess? Most often they have better weapons than the police.
