Still more tragic casualties in the senseless War On (some) Drugs.

Charming.
Another victory for the "shoot first and ask questions later" crowd.

I am not a policeman - so I cannot answer from their perspective - but these knockdown violent entries seem to cause unintentional death and injury far too often.

If it keeps one joint out of a kid's mouth, her death was worth it.

A very sad thing, and even worse, this happens more often then any of us realizes...
But, "... move along folks, nothing to see here...."
The war on drugs is just a training exercise for the "War on America" that looms ahead. Protect your rights, or there is a good chance that you to will be "... a terrrible mistake..."
Wite you congress critter and abolish "no knock" search warrants!!!
The life you save may be your own!

Same thing happened here a few years ago. You think a RECON of the area, (physical & electronic) would prevent bad raids.

What happened at 310 W. 143rd Street was meant to be the end result of a drug investigation based on confidential information from a police informant.With as many mistakes, perhaps I should say as many fatal mistakes, as seem to occur with "confidential information " from sources described only as a "police informant", you'd think that the cops would start checking out these addresses before attacking.
Wonder if the same "informant" is responsible in every case? You know, he just sorta goes around the country tricking various police depts. into invading innocent homes and killing innocent people for the fun of it?

"If it keeps one joint out of a kid's mouth, her death was worth it."
Do you really know how police informants work ? Most get a check from the law enforcement agency. They then take that check and promptly spend it on illegal drugs. Others are drug dealers that should have been locked up, but made a deal to stay out of jail. Those continue to sell drugs.

A special effects grenade shouldn't be able to kill a normal healthy person. They would use that in riot control as well.
I wonder what pre-existing condition caused her poor health.
This lady must have been health wise a walking time bomb.

Another tragic death because of people using illegal drugs and forcing enforcement of law.
They need to throw all their drugs away and live a normal life. Pray for all the illegal drug users and dealers that God help them get straight.

Two cheers for the War on [some] Drugs?
Police smashed down an apartment door and used a flash grenade in their search for a potentially dangerous suspect. But it was the wrong apartment, and the woman who lived inside is now dead after suffering a heart attack.

That is a special effects grenade, not a gun.
She has to be in horrible health to have that happen.
It is ashame these illegal drug users can't follow the law and sober up as to stop these side deaths, they are as selfish as they come.

I am extremely anti-drug but this was in no way the fault of the old lady. It is the fault of the overzealous cops.
