A Houston police officer has been relieved of duty in light of "ongoing questions" stemming from a botched drug raid that left a couple dead and five officers wounded, police said Thursday. It's not clear what role the officer played in the Jan. 28 bust at 7815 Harding, but law enforcement sources said his suspension comes amid a probe into questions over whether the sworn affidavit used to justify the no-knock warrant may have contained false information.

Welcome to it my friend. I actually lifted it myself and do not know the original author. But it pretty much hits the nail right on the head.

you posted a quote that includes
“... it is better a hundred guilty go free than one innocent person be imprisoned...”
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
That is an old and worthless quote. It is just a hypothetical posing as reality.
But in this era we have literally millions of innocents murdered every year because of the “rights” of women. So it figures that a lack of rigorous thinking and and a tendency to lazily quote trite old cliches is so popular.
We live in an imperfect world, among imperfect people,so it figures that we will have imperfect systems and less than perfect justice.
But that doesn’t mean we have to create or perpetuate false equivalencies.

I agree with you on the abortion side of your argument.

However, I cannot bring myself to agree that Ben Franklin and the founders thoughts, were just tired old tripe.

Amazing that this crap happens and continues to happen with impunity.

They wonder why the public hates them, well this is just another example.

I did not at all intend to blame or psychoanalysis you at all. I’m just saying when you or I transpose numbers it does not result in a life or death situation.

People in certain professions cannot afford to make mistakes. Did not mean to offend you.

I recall reading through that decision when it came out. It has long been apparent that the root passphrase to the Constitution is "drug war". Anything can be justified merely be reciting those two magic words.

Everyone who supports the war on drugs expressly supports this kind of jack-bootery. It completely disgusts me.

I will leave my thoughts from the original raid thread here

Your thoughts were very well stated and spot on!
