Anyone who sides with the police in this case is not deserving of his Constitutional rights. Any man, who hasn't been neutered by fear of the state, understands that he has a duty to protect himself, his loved ones and his home from harm. The homeowner was well within his rights to grab his shotgun and blast whomever came crashing through his door.
Any man who grabs his shotgun without properly IDing the threat and target doesn't deserve Constitutional rights. He deserves to get shot and die....
In most cases the local government confiscates all the property of the accused no matter his guilt or not.
You know this how? Backed up with stats?

Ending these incidents is why I support ending the prohibition on ALL the currently illicit drugs. The cost od suppression is higher than the cost of the potential damage. Even crack and meth should be legal as addictions to these appear to be self cancelling.
It doesn't have to be either or. You are going to be the one supporting those addicts one way or the other.
My point was that LE (and many others) are so obsessed with fighting the war on drugs that they think nothing about wasting a life. They have the attitude that "if LE raids your house, you must be guilty".
Of course, LE profits quite handsomely from these raids.
I don't think profiting is what they have in mind......
How will they profit from this raid? Quite the opposite, it will likely cost them millions.
Maybe not this one because it failed, but many others. They get to keep the money and property they steal from the citizens. This happens all the time all over the country.

Correct. Treatment is much more effective and is cheaper than the drug war.

A man who takes the time to ask someone who just busted down his door what they want is usually a dead man. People who bust down your door don't usually want to talk over a cup of coffee.
Cops who bust down a door and kill an innocent man based on flimsy evidence should be tried for murder.

It absolutely is. Stealing money from citizens is the LE agenda and it works quite well. LE gets to keep the money and property even if the citizens are innocent. Many times they keep the money even when the citizens are not even charged with a crime. It happens quite often and they steal hundreds of millions of dollars this way.
I never argued it doesn't happen. I argued against it happening in the thread we had. They aren't busting down doors to grab a big screen television and X-Box. They are doing it because not enough people are demanding it stop.
