And, who do we believe? Did he have a record? Criminals lie automatically, and LEOs are not always 100% truthful, especially when in the CYA mode. You got that right. One of my best friends is a cop. Cops don't give other cops DUI's...they get a drive home even when they are well over the legal limit and should be hauled to jail...when you or I would go to jail. Cops get to speed...when you or I would get a ticket. When their butts are on the line...cops are JUST like most people...they cover theur tracks to make sure they don't go to jail. Paragon of virtue my butt. Chances are...the truth will only be known by those who were there...and those cops may think they announced loud enough...but to a guy asleep...he doesn't think so.

Bet next raid they "announce" a little louder...what do you think?

Something else that sticks in my mind:

From the original post:
"After I fired the shots, I heard them yell 'police! police!'

Sounds like maybe they knew that Maye didn't know they were cops?

I'd love to read a transcript of the trial

FWIW- I have now seen blogs on both sides of the political spectrum condemning this. Need more info of course- but sofar it doesn't appear to be some kind of knee-jerk leftist anti-cop thing.

I have a problem with this whole "announce" thing. I have a 70% hearing loss in both ears, and I don't always wear my aids. It probably would be wise not to break my door down even if you anaaounce.

Seriously, what ABOUT people who have hearing problems?
