Florida: Cop kills unarmed black man during narcotics raid that yielded a small amount of weed

http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/man-shot-as-hillsborough-deputies-serve-search-warrant-at-palm-river-home/2291477

More !Winning! in the war on drugs. An unarmed man was shot dead over TWO GRAMS of weed. The war on cannabis is none other than a sinister war against innocent citizens of this country in the name of protecting corporate and LE interests.

Even over something as trivial as a weed, citizens are not allowed to do what they want to do. They must be killed in order to maintain the peace.

OK, what kind of non incentive is this!?!? kill someone unarmed and get 3 months paid vacation?!!?

REALLY!?!?

AT LEAST make the paid leave back pay !!!

If the LEOs followed the rules and the evidence, including body cams, can attest to that then there should

And to give you an idea how much a gram is it's about the size of a mid sized bud. This guy died over $20 worth of weed which is sad.
