I think you glossed over the part about "...officials said..." and presumed their word is uncontested fact.

The only uncontested facts here are that two undercover cops killed a 14 year old girl in an escalation of violence initiated by the cops. And they are sticking to their (stupid) story. The WOD is not worth this, or other police actions like Waco. If it takes big lawsuits like this to stop the WOD, then let's get down to it.

"The only uncontested facts here are that two undercover cops killed a 14 year old girl in an escalation of violence initiated by the cops."

Is that right? And just how did you come to that conclusion? You wouldn't be anti-cop, would you? Sure sounds like it to me.

Tin-foil hat alert!

Sorry, posted too early.

You're presuming the words of the grieving mother and the dealer's are uncontested facts. Yes, the girl is dead, and it seems that the escalation of violence was begun on her part, not theirs. She rammed other vehicles first, obviously not caring that there may have been people in them.

If the truth is somewhere in between, I favor the DEA.
