In the good old U.S.A. where the people are good and moral, and where
the police offer protection, this is what really happens. This shows the
other side, where the police don't protect us, where they harm us.
Police in a drug raid killed Lloyd Smalley and Lillian Weiss. The
police threw a flash grenade into their apartment. To make matters worse
though, these people didn't have any drugs. It was a botched drug raid.
In New York City police officers chased a marijuana dealer through a
schoolyard in Brooklyn. Yes, a schoolyard, leaving three children wounded.
The heroic police officers then drew their guns and arrested the man, while
they were still in the schoolyard and the children were still outside.
In London, police officers raided the wrong apartment and killed the
tenant's dog. An informant had specifically stated that the suspect did not
live in that apartment. A person's dog was killed, her apartment was raided
even though it wasn't supposed to be, and the police wouldn't even
apologize.
In Houston Texas, Pedro Oregon Navarro was shot twelve times by six
police officers in yet another botched drug raid. The police barged into
his house in the middle of the night while he was asleep. A drunken
informant, on probation for a previous drug offence, told police that
Navarro was a drug dealer. The police never bothered to verify this
information or to get a search warrant. When they came into Navarro's
house, he grabbed his gun, and was killed even though he hadn't fired once.
In Oklahoma a paraplegic in a wheelchair is serving a ten-year prison
sentence for having two ounces of marijuana. Yes, two ounces. Leroy
Stubblefield, a fifty-two year old quadriplegic had a license to grow
marijuana for personal use. Federal agents seized his plants, which is
overstepping Oregon law. These people were most likely huge threats to
their communities, right?
In Wisconsin, an unarmed man was shot to death for having one ounce
of marijuana. One ounce of marijuana was enough to justify shooting an
unarmed man to death, in front of his seven-year-old son. Police officers
really are the good guys aren't they?
This is actually considered justice? Would someone like to tell me
how these drug raids are helping people?
