92-year-old woman was killed after she shot three Atlanta narcotics officers Tuesday night when they broke down the front door of her home trying to serve a search warrant, police said.
One officer was hit in the arm, one was struck in the shoulder, and one was shot in the thigh. All were rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, where they were in stable condition late Tuesday night. Police did not release their identities.

Can't do that! Don't you know once a warrant is served it's "Guilty until proved innocent"? /s (I think)

Perhaps the old lady was a little deaf and didn't hear them identify themselves as police.
Sad story.

Over the river,to look for the goods to grandmothers house we go.
I believe the cops are in a full CYA mode today. Somebody screwed up big time. I say God bless grandma for protecting her home. These cops were just somebody breaking down the door to her home. Old,alone,frightened in a bad neighborhood and your door comes crashing down. She was protecting herself and property and died for it.

I don't think we're getting the whole story here.I don't either. And I don't think we're going to for a while . . . if ever.

Uhh... I think that is part of being undercover. Yeah, except you're not supposed to serve search warrants that way. It gets you shot.

If there was ever a war that could be described as a "quagmire," the war on drugs is it.
There is no such thing as a war on drugs. You cannot wage war on inanimate objects. The war they are waging is on Americans who use drugs. The tactics they adopt prove that.
The actions they display are despicable. Perhaps for a meth lab run by a gang of known criminals justifiable but to establish that would require some surveillance I would think.
And to use this same tactic on someone who smokes a little weed totally uncalled for but there would be no difference.
I have often pondered why our Government feels it should be legal for a woman to have control over a life and can take that life in an instant. Yet we have no control on the means of relaxation or comfort for our own bodies. Even those addicted to stronger drugs may be killing themselves but over a longer period of time. Not instantly. Our Government needs to do a serious reality check and recognize the HYPOCRASY of their own existence.

Verbally "identifying" themselves as police really shouldn't be sufficient, anyway. Anyone can do that, police or not, so it would pretty much defeat the purpose of having a gun for self-defense if that were all it took to get someone to drop it.

I'm glad to hear it was the perp who lost his head and the good guy lived
Blindly serving the whims of arrogant and ill informed politicians does not a good guy make.
To: DakotaRed
By what isn't being said makes me think the Atlanta cops screwed up somewhere, big time and a 92 year old woman paid.
You think they would own up to a mistake of this magnitude?
The Government and the media spin everything we here to justify their goals.

I think he was talking about my war story in Post #48, not about this situation here.

My last day as a cop saw me pull off an amazing feat of marksmanship: after catching three rounds, one of them in the lung, I somehow managed to fire four shots from my revolver. One of them hit the perp in the right eye and blew his entire freakin' head open.
Post 48. War story?

Just dreadful all the way around. May she rest in peace. Prayers for the officers.

They done the wrong house, said Johnsons niece, Sarah Dozier. And they killed her! This lady lived to be 92. She lived to be 92 and in good health. They went in there and she was scared to death. No Ms. Dozier, she was shot to death.
...sorry...
To: Phantom Patriot
Yup. If it were a school report, it'd be called "How I got sent out early on permanent summer vacation."
I wound up getting medically retired out of that.
That day was my luckiest day ever, period.

I was referring to BeHoldAPaleHorse's experience as a policeman. Read the thread.

At 92 she was in good health, she probably would have made it to 100 at that rate.
I think these cops should be commended for saving the government hundreds of thousands of dollars in social security and Medicare expense.

There is little doubt in my mind that once the investigation is completed by the killer's bosses and those of like mind in the field of LE, those officers involved who were shot "in the line of duty," will receive meritorious citations.

Here's the hard-hitting journalism from the
Fox 5 station:
Kiet Do, Fox 5 Atlanta: "Community members and activists mobilized very quickly...they want answers...in the shadow of police lights...members of the New Black Panther Party were out spreading their message...wearing their signature black berets, members passed out pamphlets and vowed justice"Ajee Mohammed, NBPP: "We are men, dat are dedicated defendin' the black community, and elsewhere, where black people are being victinimized, and being attacked and killed, by outside forces not within our community."

Not just a victim - a murder victim at the hands of ""law enforcement."
