SUNRISE -- Police seized 2 ounces of marijuana at the home of Anthony Diotaiuto after shooting him 10 times, according to information on the drug raid released Tuesday.
Also Tuesday, while many friends and relatives of the 23-year-old bartender and student mourned him at a Davie funeral home, others appeared at a Sunrise City Commission meeting to demand an explanation for the fatal raid
"Do 2 ounces of marijuana constitute a death warrant?" asked Sunrise resident William de Larm, a friend of Diotaiuto's.

I recall this video, I watched it years ago when it was released. I understand and can appreciate the interpretations one may derive from its' conclusions. As I mentioned before, The FBI HRT at that time was engaged in activities which did not make any sense. The situation was very fluid at the time and as tragic as it was the result will never be acceptable to anyone of character. As you can imagine circumstances differ for every event and training is a key to preventing tragedies like Waco. In the case of this young man who was killed, until evidence is produced which contradicts the statements on record, I must support the actions of the Police. If it is reveled that the Police acted in a criminal way, I will be the first to say prosecute them.

If you are engaged in criminal activity it would make sense that we would be knocking on your door. Therefore, to reach for a weapon is a conscious decision to fight. As an officer you should know that your back is covered by your fellow officers and they expect you to be covering theirs. There is no latitude here! This person chose the wrong path of action and he lost and thank God he did because it could be a couple brothers being put to rest with taps playing in the background. Nuff said!I like your style.
In fact, I'm for summary executions of people caught exceeding the speeding limit by one mile.
You do the crime, you do the time, muthaf***a.

Ja WOHL!!!
And not only summary executions for drivers one mile over the speed limit, but kill their families too, destroy the genetically flawed vermin who will no doubt commit the same offense at some point down the road!
The Reich Law und Order SWAT Team, Sunrise Division is looking for recruits! Vhy aren't YOU joining up?

HEY!!! You just stumbled on to the next set of NARAL advertisements opposing Judge John Roberts, the theme is "it isn't an abortion, it is just turning a human egg into an omelet, and that remains every woman's right to choose what the rest of her life is going to have for breakfast!"
And then there is the alternate 30 second spot promoting partial birth abortion:
"Some call this a 'partial birth abortion', NARAL believes that every woman has the Constitutionally-guaranteed right to jam the sharp end of a pair of scissors into the head of her almost-born child, and terminate it's life, because after all: the woman was here first. She has dibs on how she's going to live her life. The kid hasn't been born yet and can't even vote for 18 years. Some say that is cruel, NARAL says that it's just the way the cookie (or infant's skull) crumbles. Remember, when you abort a baby, you are helping to provide more food to the millions of babies who are already starving in this world."
Don't laugh too soon, those NARAL-infanticide promoters just might try an approach like this some day, with a little bit of subtle refinement.

Yes we want law and order but reasonable law enforcement please. These kinds of raids on private homes should be outlawed...unless like you say, they are executed upon known murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals and terrorists.
This action by these cops is murder plain and simple. Sadly, they will investigate themselves, clear themselves, and give themselves awards in the end.
If you burst in my home (claiming to be police or not) I will do my best to drop you. I'm not gonna sit around trying to figure whether you or police or not...since home invaders will announce themselves as police too.

>FWIW, 2 oz of pot is a bit much for personal consumption..
Big Deal... Making pot illegal is insane. Of course in our society pot is used as a symbol of societal decay being the cause from teen pregnancy, to job loss, to terrorism. Pot prohibition is America's idiocy. Every country has an idiotic value they stand for (eg. British gun ban) and this is America's.

I have a postage meter scale in my pantry, sandwich bags in a kitchen drawer, a cigarette lighter on the desk in front of me, dollar bills in my pocket book, drinking straws in a kitchen drawer, ashtrays in every room, cigarettes in various locations, potting soil in my garage, an empty toilet paper roll in the garbage, aluminum foil in a kitchen drawer, screens on my windows, rubbing alcohol in my medicine chest, spoons in a kitchen drawer, a mirror over the bathroom sink, a razor blade in my sewing kit, an alligator clip in my nuts & bolts box, and unspecified firearms in unnamed locations. I hope it doesn't get me killed.
