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'm glad you have identified yourself as an anarchist, it clears the air!
not to justify the kid or the cops. but there is the fact that, altho i don't engage in illegal activity, someone could "report me" and cops, knowing i have guns, would come in the same way. if i hear the door get smashed in, i'm going for a gun, and i may have a gun in hand before a cop identifies himself. now, if i'm in the act of putting it down, is the cop ok to shoot me just because he sees that gun?
if the cops identified properly and gave him a chance to disarm and he didn't- good cops, glad they came thru safe. if not, if they didn't do it right-sue the crap outta them.
i wasn't there so i don't know. but i want to know what really happened.
Instead, Voss said, Diotaiuto fled to his bedroom and "armed himself" with a loaded handgun. Voss said it is unclear whether Diotaiuto pointed the gun at officers.
I doubt you would have responded in this way.
Well, considering he was a drug dealer felon, yep he gave up his rights.
Was his choice entirely to be involved in this, and he paid.
I think one lesson here is, this guy should have only sold pot to his friends, and not to undercover narcotics officers.
I'm an anarchist because I don't swallow the "official" story hook line and sinker? Glad you've identified yourself as a gullible sheep. It clears the air.
If you think it is right to break in to a house at 4 am covered from head to toe in black so no one can tell who you are do you also agree with your fellow jbts that assest forfiture is a noble tool to use against americans? you know that little thing where any cop at anytime can deside that any money you carry is to much so they can just steal it and say hey it must be drug related and keep ot for themselves without ever havingto prove it came from drug related activity.
Of course, that doesn't matter to you WoDdies. The more blood the better right?
That may be a decent strategy if your gun isn't in the back bedroom.
In the WOT and the WOD, we have to break a few eggs for the meal.
Sometimes a lot of eggs.. Oh well. Don't be into drugs or be a terrorist. Easy enough.
No-Knock Warrants are a travesty.
as usual the media is cutting out the part of the story which this "victim" was probably either on probation OR had such a long record that a mandatory jail sentence was in the works.
It is very hard to have sympathy with regards to sunrise FL where whole families are involved in the drug trade.
2 oz. is a good amount but within a reasonable range to be a one-person supply.
They should've shot him 20 more times, huh? /sarc
Carrying on Henry Anslingers little agitprop crusade I see. Thanks for doing your part to help kill the Constitution.
Disgusting. You are damaged goods.
Go do a Sheehan for your fallen comrade, the druggie..
It's amusing.
Typical cop attitude...Jar head...
