This raid was ridiculous, totally out of order innocent people should have not been hurt or killed. Justice for Wilson & Family six children are without a mother.

Now this is interesting…
‘Do you need a sign for your business to tell others you do not allow the carrying of concealed weapons inside your establishment? You can download it in .PDF format by clicking the picture below.’

Can’t have those pesky citizens defending themselves from black-suited ninja wannabees now, can we?

They’re not criminals they’re policemen, honest. Look they have badges and that spells the law! Evidence? What evidence. They have badges.

One more thing, re: quantity of drugs–Terry was charged under the Ohio statute for trafficking 10-100g of crack. Ironically, there’s an enhanced penalty for dealing crack with juveniles around.

From the Toledo Blade story you linked:

Ms. Wilson’s eldest daughter told her aunts that she heard her mother running upstairs after police detonated the charges to where the six children were.

What’s the over/under that she was shot in the back and the injury to the one-year old was a pass through?

For those who haven’t read the articles, it sounds like the baby was shot multiple times, and apparently lost a finger to a bullet. I don’t know what went on in that house, but I know it didn’t have to happen. There is no justification - NONE- for shooting a baby.

There are only a few cities in the entire union that have a case for why they need a SWAT unit.

Oh, the end is being accomplished all right. You’ve just misidentified the actual end.

Sounds more like “the means justify the means” — the end doesn’t seem to be being accomplished anyway, so it can hardly be justifying anything.
