Heroic SWAT Drug-Warriors cause innocent elderly woman to have a heart attack during a botched raid

The War on Drugs is unquestionably a tyranny.

Not only do we have the absolute abuse of civil asset forfeiture


....we also have an increasing frequency of bogus drug-raids which terrorize families, kill pets, damage property and ruin lives. It may just have killed the poor old lady in the story above.

There are three ways this will stop.

1. The War on Drugs needs to begin the process of winding down to an end, beginning with the legalization of marijuana.

2. Drug Raids and warrants served at the WRONG ADDRESSES or resulting in the obtaining of evidence of only misdemeanor crimal activity need to be defined legally as FELONIES. In other words, if the police hit the wrong address or only find evidence of the commission of a misdemeanor, than the police serving the warrant or conducting the raid should be guilty of felonies themselves. Simply put, the act of breaking down doors, traumatizing and injuring innocent people or people only guilty of misdemeanor crimes, is an incredibly serious offense against the liberty of the people. It really is a slap in the face of the concept of legitimate citizenship.

3. More home-invading Drug-Warrior breach teams need to be subject to the Castle Doctrine .


If the big bad Drug Warriors know they will be guilty of a felony if they harm innocent people, and that they will be subject to justified lethal counter-attack, you will see less and less badge wearing thugs willing and eager to hurt helpless citizens.
