Don't Want To Be Shot, Obey The Law

[AgeOfEnlightenmentSCP]

Well, except this man had his home invaded, officers fired 17 shots, he was killed by shots to the back and the head as he lie face down on the floor while police looked for drugs- which they did not find.  No police suspended. No police fired.

David Hooks was shot in the back and head as he was lying face down on the floor during a drug raid by Laurens County deputies.

That's according to the lawyer representing his family.

It's been nearly four months since David Hooks was shot to death during a drug raid at his East Dublin home.

13WMAZ's Paula Rotondo spoke to his wife, Teresa Hooks and the family's lawyer, Mitchell Shook.

Hooks died Sept. 24 while deputies served a search warrant at his home.

They were looking for drugs, but didn't find any.

Huh...according to this article... www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/07/david-hooks-shooting-swat_n_5949318.html

They probably should have used a flash bang. Ironic huh?

seriously I give up, let's just disband the police departments, apparently they only exist to harass, shoot, and otherwise cause mayhem in our homes and city streets.

I'm in where's the petition to sign?

I disagree. Instead let's mandate that only criminals can be police officers. That way they'll know who the bad guys are...

Reminds me of Stossel about these raids- where a couple that were actually CIA I think had their house raided because of what was in their garbage- residue from making tea.

Goes right back to the other thread- these kinds of raids should be a last resort not SOP.

And TX recently made a good call when a cop got shot by the homeowner during such a raid and it went self defense.

Think about that- 6-8 people in black bust your door down and you have done nothing wrong and have no reason to suspect it is the police- at that point you are within your rights to drop the shotgun on them and then they are going to kill you- they even see so much as a glint of metal they are going to kill you- and the whole time they have not a care in the world about a startled homeowner or someone in fear for their life.

Only one way to stop this- TAKE BACK THE POWER WE GAVE THEM and put an end to these raids in all but extreme circumstances, and even then they should make the police chief and a judge sign off on it.

People need to stop demanding laws for every damn thing. That type of attitude has criminalized every annoyance in life like selling loose cigs. If u demand laws then dont be surprised when police enforce the laws to the point if death.

I agree... The number of laws criminalizing things that shouldn't even BE crimes... is... well... almost criminal.

Indiana is like that, too- you can shoot a police officer in self-defense.  The war on drugs is a failure, and I have some sympathy for the police in that they are stuck in the middle- pawns in a high stakes failed experiment in prohibition (only this time, notably- without having gone through the trouble of amending the Constitution to do it).
