For humans, they do pretty good. There is no major abuse by officers here at all.I see you've been taking your Clinton lessons! An innocent person dies, and "there's no major abuse by officers here at all." No controlling legal authority. I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. The president did not rape Mrs. Brodderick. These facts, though regrettable, do not rise to the level of impeachment. There's no major abuse here at all.

I didn't say an innocent dies and that's OK, talk about who is doing the Clinton, it's you.
I said it was reported that they have a success rate of 99.8% of showing up at the right place. That is 1896 out of 1900. One did end in death because she was in poor health and that is a tragedy, but is not like that department is abusive with there methods. It was horrible error.
Out of the 1896 successful busts, we can probably figure that perhaps thousands of lives might have indeed been saved because those involved with illegal drugs lost the opportunity to kill, be killed or OD!
So I do agree with you that this was a horrible thing to happen and she was by all accounts a wonderful person. I do not trivialize her death, but I do say that using her death as a weapon against what has been extremely successful and as the article points out, nearly flawless record is going too far.
It is very Clintonesque of you to over-react to something you hope works for your political agenda regarding illegal drugs.
