Whatever happened to Mayberry?

RE: Police smell meth, raid home, kill 80-year-old, find no meth

Police corruption and police abuse is nothing new, but I've been hearing about an awful lot of this stormtrooper behavior going on lately.

First, I don't think police should be breaking into houses unless they suspect a violent crime is in progress. Invading a person's home puts everyone's life at risk. And secondly, by entering the home as burglars do, THEY - not the homeowner - have assumed the risk and the responsibility for the aftermath, whatever the law may currently say about it.

For the department to vindicate themselves because the son had marijuana in his room, and blame the victim for being shot and killed tells me it's the members of the sheriff's department who have more in common with criminals.
