This was no mistake, they fabricated evidence to get a warrant in the first place, then they stormed her front door, she got off 1 shot, they returned 30 something, shot her, left her to bleed out while they planted marijuana in the house to cover their a$$es.

The main casualty of the war on drugs has been civil liberties. I am not a Libertarian but I am smart enough to recognize that, like prohibition, the profit incentive is too great for the government to compete with. Consequently, there has been an arms race between organized crime and law enforcement. Today nearly every middlesex and village has a paramilitary police force armed with automatic weapons, night vision equipment, an air force, and armored vehicles. The use it or lose it budgeting cycle mentality and the prospects of property seizures to finance even bigger guns more law abiding citizens are harmed are physically harmed and deprived of their rights by law enforcement than would be harmed by a laize faire drug policy.
