I mean bigotry like a nigger can't be no good.
You're drunk....you need to chill out with that talk.
AM has this thread bookmarked.
Bigotry that says a [n-word] cain't be no good because he's a [n-word].
(are there any southern mods...no one ever asks me..lol)
No and it is my understanding that 99.99%
of the mods are female. When I heard that
a lot of things began to make sense.
Most people fail to realize how the system works.
Jesus is saving the Baptist, the Baptist are
saving the South and the South is saving the Nation.
Just let em go and one day they will come back

true "Great Society"
Nice dialogue (that means "discussion") BTW...if you want to "discuss"....do so...otherwise...continue on with your lowwering of the IQ scores around here.
While internet forums are EVER so much more knowledgable, informed, and fair!
As evidenced by Maye firing blindly through a closed door. Jones was unarmed and criticized on this thread for not sending his dog in first. Surprise! The door was locked shut, the dog couldn't get in and neither could Jones. He was murdered on the outside doorstep as he knocked and identified himself.
Where did you get this info? I believe the prosecutor claims another officer broke open the door, Jones came through with his weapon still in it's holster and was shot below his vest. Also , Jones was not a member of the unit serving the warrant but was asked to ride along because it was his informant.
I went off of Maye's testimony. He heard kicking on the door and fired. He claims he heard police identify themselves and slid the gun away after he shot. He never said he saw police. Further adding to the closed door theory is that Maye himself was not shot by police in return gun fire. The police are trained not to shoot blindly into a room through a closed door.
There were twelve of 'em on the jury.
Having thought about this overnight I'm left wondering just what difference it makes that the officer may have had a warrant and thus the "right" to be there. So what if the officer wasn't a tresspasser? Knowingly killing a simple tresspasser is still murder. What matters is what Maye knew when he pulled the trigger. Why would the judge have dismissed the case just because the officer had a piece of paper or not? This comment of the prosecutor really doesn't make much sense.
[...] ... The testimony was that there were several announcements that they were the police and that they had a search warrant. The occupants in the apartment next to Maye’s allowed entry after announcement and there was no resistance. Maye did not. Porch lights were on in the front of Maye’s apartment and the uniformed officers and marked cars visible in the front yard and on the porch. The officers announced at the front door and then at the back door. The officer who killed was at the front door initially and then went around the back to the back door before entry was made. ... [...]
I've emphisised the word "entry". I've read nothing anywhere that asserts that Maye shot through a locked door.
OK Einstein...did you have bad dreams last nite?
Southern bogeymen chasing you through cotton fields with torches and bloodhounds or something like that?
can't let facts get in the way of a good lynching according to the high, noble and smug.
In addition to the NAACP, shouldn't the NRA have some comment or opinion? Why has this case been so completely overlooked by parties that one would assume have an interest in the issues?
In a duplex where other people were living. Let's get this guy back out on the street right away!
I don't think that the NRA is into cop killings by druggies.

Then it would help if they reviewed this case and separated it from a justifible defense of one's home when the door is being smashed in. Some comments to this thread suggest that they would shoot even if someone is yelling "Police". At what point do the police have the right to break in unannounced or even announced. Surely the police in this case did not expect a shoot out with a "druggie" and a minor child in the room. Any thoughts on just how the police and law abiding citizens avoid these type of situations?
Was the door forced open before or after the convicted murderer shot the K-9 officer?
