I would be contacting Virginia state Senators and Representatives, the Governor’s Office, people in high places, the Innocence Project,ect. If enough people could be rallied together to chip in for Ryan to get the best legal representation, enough people supporting him and constantly putting it in the media, and Ryan would go free, and also would be awarded damages for his life being wrecked from his freedom being taken away, losing his job, girlfriend, ect. ….and do I feel sorry for the thugs with badges ? Hell no ! Tyranny and oppression runs amok, a man’s home is his castle, Ryan had a right to defend his home and self, and I don’t know anyone that would have a clear thinking head from being awakened at night with the sound of a home invasion going on, no time to think, grab the gun , wobble quickly to the living room still half asleep and adrenaline pumping, especially with having been broken into only days before, Ryan’s case is unusual circumstances , his case really needs national coverage , someone like Gerry Spence could not only free Ryan but get Ryan some MAJOR compensation, he really needs someone great to defend him cause those corrupt officials are super dirty in Chesapeake, don’t lose hope Ryan.

If anyone beats down my door, cop or not, they will be shot. How am I supposed to know if it really is a cop? Do you think a criminal is above using this as a deception technique? I’m not taking any chances.

Unfortunately as others have stated, the perception is that many of our police forces are being overrun with overzealous ex-military cowboys who get their jollies from pushing civilians around. In my experience there is a huge difference between ex-military cops and cops without prior military experience. The latter using more common sense when dealing with situations like this. The former feeling they have something to prove (probably because of an unfulfilling military career).

I find it interesting that one of the prosecutors in the case is from Prince William County which is also known for having a corrupt police force.

Good luck Ryan!

I stand here in complete support of Ryan… It’s amazing to me that the state attorney general has not investigated the pathetic police actions in this matter… A slimeball petty criminal breaks into Ryans’ place, then tells the cops about a grow operation, so he can get out of his own problems.. Then, the thugs make a few cursory drive-bys, and stormtroop Ryans castle… Now they upgrade the charge to capital murder, but somehow don’t bother to talk about the amount of miniscule pot that they found…. Sorry, that does not pass the “smell” test… I come from a state (Illinois) where the first forced-entry drug bust was attempted (around 1969-70).. Ha, guess what.. The stupid moronic officers went to the wrong place and terrized an elderly couple, got sued and still the courts found the cops innocent of all…. Welcome to the land of the decidedly unfree———— As far as the dead cop…. No sympathy here… He worked for a corrupt institution (law enforcement)… Stand strong bro Ryan!!!!!

All that is known to the public is what the newspapers have been told by the Chesapeake Police Department. But this much is known, Mr. Frederick was in his own home, in the dark of night, when someone reportedly yelled “Police” and started knocking his door down. What would you have done, were you in his shoes? Anyone can orally identify themself as “Police,” but how is one to know if such a statement is true? Aren’t citizens entitled to be given reasonable assurance that they are truly dealing with “Police?”

And then, what was the reason for battering down the door of a home when it was reportedly surrounded by police?

This senseless case has already shattered too many lives, and multiple wrongs can never make a right. The are no moral or ethical justifications for attempting to execute Mr. Frederick for his self-protection actions.

I have already contributed to a local fund raiser for the family of the officer who was killed, and if there is a fund to which one can contribute for Mr. Frederick’s defense, I would be a willing contributor.

This same thing happened to Billy Urquiza in Texas, only he was shot several times, then charged with attempted capital murder, which dropped to Aggraved assault on a police officer. He was convicted and sentenced to five years. He is an innocent man. My heart goes out to Ryan. Do please let us know how to contribute to his defense fund, and let him know he is in so many of our prayers.

there is no war on drugs. what we have is a never ending skirmish fueled by civil asset forfeiture dollars. as long as the money keeps coming in, the cops will keep sacrificing “their own”.

Frederick is not a killer, don’t concede that. He acted in self defense. You wouldn’t call a returning Marine a killer. You wouldn’t call a veteran officer a killer. Frederick has the exact same rights as the officer he mistakenly downed.

The Cheseapeake PD needs to review their no-knock warrant policy to avoid needless and senseless confrontation.

yes Ryan Frederick is a killer, does that mean its wrong. NO!!!! i, who doesnt even like guns, would do the exact same if I were in his position. I dont blame him, and yes he did kill somebody, making it a capitol crime, WHAT MORONS. yes it was a cop he killed, should that make a different? if it wasnt announced that police were present, but a door was being broke down, makes a perfect self defense plea in my book.

I DONT EVEN KNOW YOU RYAN, BUT I STAND BEHIND YOU HERE.
ALL THE WAY FROM RHODE ISLAND!!!!
HOPEFULLY THIS STORY WILL GO NATIONWIDE, IM CERTAINLY SENDING AN EMIAL TO MY LOCAL MEDIA ABOUT IT!

I really feel for Ryan.How was he to know who was at his door.He was sound asleep when the Cop anounced himself,”if he did at all’,all Ryan heard was someone comming in his door.Of course all the cops are going to stick togeather and say he anounced himself.The only one who knows if he did or not is dead.I really feel sorry for Ryan,he is going against the whole police dept.I just wish I could do something to help him.All we out here can do is try to get him the best lawyer possible,and from out of town.I would not trust a local lawyer,they are all in this togeather,and a local lawyer would not want to wiin.He would be a black sheep around here.I hope the people that are helping him think of this.I myself cannot see him gettin convicted if he has the right lawyer.Lets all pitch in and get him a lawyer.

Sad situation all around. I only hope that Ryan doesn’t get a tainted jury.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Shivers family.

the cops are hell bent on asset forfeiture, the constitution be damned. if someone starts busting down my doors, i’m not going to wait and see if they are “good guys”. regardless, they might shoot you anyway. our constitutional protections against such military style raids on our homes has been eroded by The War on Pot. all it takes is one idiot snitch to make up some bullshit and the cops attack with body armor and fully auto weapons. america has turned into a police state and no one is safe. fuck the cops, fuck the congress, fuck the supreme court, fuck the prosecutors, fuck the judges, fuck the president. REVOLUTION NOW!

Go to http://www.myspace.com/ryan_frederick and go to the blurbs sect on the right,scroll down you will see a “donate” icon. Please go donate towards Ryans defense.And if you have a myspace account add him as your friend.But we need to get money raised up for him. His lawyer is not working for free. It is upwards of $50,000 plus. There is so much activity for Shivers Family but this is the only one for Ryan. Shivers Family is not hurting for money. I can gaurantee you that. He had awesome life insurance,plus God only knows how much money has been donated to his family. (I am not speaking ill of Shivers family but only stating the facts.) Ryan really needs your help. This is about WAY more than just Ryan though, It is about YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AS A CITIZEN. If we do not stand up and fight this with all of our might,we have forfeited our rights. Seriously! Oh yeah and about that girl scout falling into the door comment that was made. There is a HUGE difference between a 70 lb. child bumping into a door from a fall and a 200 lb man breaking a door down. I am sick of all these ignorant comments. Stand up a fight! The time is now.

I fully support Ryan Frederick and I am willing to sign an online petition and sign on to any websites created to help him(and others) out.

All home invaders should be shot on sight! Especially since gangs like MS-13 are now suiting up to look like the jackboot ninja assassins that break in your door at midnight with flashbangs and silenced sub-machine guns.

This is America! Not Nazi Germany! What’s up with all the jackbooting!?!

And if you don’t believe me just ask Fred Hampton, Gordon Kahl, Vicki and Sammy Weaver, Donald Scott, Carl Drega, David Koresh, Frank Lobato, etc. (the list goes on and on and on…)

End the war on some terror(since the US is the major terror broker across the globe…)!

End the war on some drugs(especially since the CIA and the bankers have been making billions off narcotic trafficking…)!

The Amerikan Empire will fail and fall…
700 military bases in over 130 countries!?!
Didn’t anyone learn from the collapse of the Roman Empire?

So, when the dollar goes belly up…
And the jackboots and mercenaries don’t get their paychecks anymore…
Will they be kicking in doors at midnight looking for food for their families!?!

I think they should all be looking for different “jobs”…or safe places to hide(like Siberia)…

The time to tar and feather our public servants has come once again…

Bot, just so you know Ryans mother is dead. She died in 2003 and ryan sued in the case. His mother worked for the chesapeake sherifs department until she passed away. His mother died of a prescription drug overdose that was induced by her doctor giving her medications that could not be taken together. You can find articles about his mothers story online as well, because ryan sued the doctor for wrongful death and kinda won, the doctor Loxley took a lesser charge (plea agrement) to settle the case because the doctor was apparently doing it to others as well and was charged in many cases, so instead of being charged in each case he took a plea bargan and only got a few years. just thought you all should know that fact. That also helps you understand that if ryan knew it was police he never would have shot him, his mother worked for the department for years and he respected officers.

It’s good to see the neighborhood sticking up for him.

This case needs a national spotlight on it, hopefully pressure the idiots to release him!

And unfortunate, but he may have to move away from there, but his lawsuit should provide him some run money. It’s a biotch having to deal with a bunch of juvenile cops!

Loren –

I’ve already covered the Felony Murder plot line. Clearly, the DA should go directly after Ryan’s mother (assuming she’s still alive, of course).
