He's trying to explain away why his SS stormtroopers blew up a baby. First he focuses on the charges and highlights the inadequate surveillance and incompetent police work performed by saying they never knew there were FOUR children in the home. Never mind that the suspect wasn't even home when they carried out the raid...

Then he focuses on the previous gun charges of the occupant as a justification for the SWAT raid, except SWAT raids are not performed because of guns, they are performed because of drugs. With guns, the police can just go to the door, serve the warrant, and if the occupant doesn't surrender, they can wait him out as they did for decades. But drugs can be destroyed, such as being flushed down a toilet, so they need surprise and a swift entry to avoid losing the evidence. The SWAT raid is more dangerous to both suspect and police and increases the likelihood of a violent confrontation.

I realize Meth is a nasty drug, but addiction is a disease, and should be treated as such. The war on drugs has been more a war on freedom than any other movement in the last 40 years. Just the losses in privacy alone are tragic...

"Anyway, a update to the story doesn't give much hope for the toddler. One, he's paralyzed. Two, he's got a large laceration right on his chest, that can't be closed because the grenade charred - read cooked - his skin. Lastly, he's lost use of one of his lungs. Given that the police threw the grenade right on top of the toddler it's a miracle that he even survived the detonation, but I don't think that he'll survive this. A body that small isn't meant to take damage of this magnitude.

Edit - None of the stories mentioned anything about it but, just from seeing the damage on his face, I'd figure that his right eye is blinded."

(Thanks Lancero, for the update )

Now, just who are the terrorists?

Lethality of stun grenades[edit]

Although stun grenades are usually designed to be non-lethal, several deaths have been attributed to their use. These include:

In 1989, police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, conducted a drug raid at the home of an elderly couple, Lloyd Smalley and Lillian Weiss, after receiving inaccurate information from an informant. The flashbang grenades police used in the raid set the home on fire. Police said they were certain no one was inside, and so, at first, made no attempt at rescue. Smalley and Weiss died of smoke inhalation.

In May 2003, a woman named Alberta Spruill died from a heart attack after a police team detonated a stun grenade at her residence in Harlem, New York. Her family eventually won a $1.6 million civil suit against the city.

In January 2011, a California man named Rogelio Serrato died of smoke inhalation after a flashbang grenade launched by a police SWAT team ignited a fire in his home. The man was believed to have been hiding in the attic when the fire broke out.

In February 2011, a North Carolina SWAT police officer was injured at his home when a stun grenade accidentally detonated while he was attempting to secure his equipment. He underwent emergency surgery, but later died of his injuries.

In January 2014, a man was severely injured during rioting caused by the 2014 Ukrainian revolution after he attempted to pick up a live, undetonated stun grenade. The grenade detonated seconds before he could reach it. The explosion caused damage to his right hand and arm, leading to the loss of most of his fingers, as well as heavy blood loss. As of February 2014, the man's condition is unknown. However, a video of it has been uploaded to LiveLeak.


On May 28, 2014, a 19-month-old baby was severely burned and placed in a medically-induced coma after a SWAT team raided a home in Cornelia, Georgia at 2 a.m.

TERROR! TERROR! TERROR!


Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell haz a sad because his Speshull Response Team is getting death threats. He doesn't quite get it that they severely harmed an innocent baby. The gravity and the depravity of what his team has done has not sunk in and never will.

The tipping point is approaching, coppers. The populace is fed up.

I know a lot of you think I am just awful for having a thread hidden.

My patience with Bad cop enablers is GONE.

My patience with the Obama Administration and the Department of Justice over the violent, senseless, expensive War on the American People Over Drugs is GONE

I will say what I think, and if it hurts anyone's feelings, tough. I've always been that way on DU and I'm not changing now. I will accept the consequences, unlike Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell

It's long past time for us to say NO MORE.

Now here is the link and an excerpt:

DA investigating SWAT raid

Friday, Phonesavanh said the outlook is grim for her little boy.

“The nurse explained it to me. His laceration on his chest is pretty deep, down to the muscle. They can’t close it up yet because all of the charring from the explosion,” Phonesavanh said.

“He still needs help breathing. He’ll need that help for a while. He has a big bruise on his lung from the impact. His lung is useless right now” Phonesavanh added. "As long as we have faith and he's got lots of love, love will make anybody strong."


The Phonesavanh family has hired an attorney who has asked for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to look into the case and immediate suspension of the deputies involved

And all our secret new laws, including the "Kill Lists," apply to terrorists.

I could go on and on.

Cause heaven forbid a child with epilepsy be allowed to take an herbal supplement to stop her seizures!

The war on drugs is really a war on the American people.

to demand a bill be introduced making no-knock bomb squads illegal.

I urge all to do the same.

The funny thing is, one of my worst triggers is when a child is harmed....and cannabis really helps when I am triggered.

But since my state won't let me get relief for my suffering, and since my president and his attorney general want to call me a criminal for being a person who is helped by cannabis, they get to see my wrath up close and personal.

I might be less traumatized by these events using cannabis, might not use so much angry language.

So I guess it's a good thing I can't get any cannabis, not wanting to lose everything just to have the medicine I need.

Someone's gotta get angry enough to call out the terrorist cops and the cowardly and complicit Obama administration.

Guess that'll be me....
