He chose the life that put his and others lifes in danger of exactly what happened, why be upset when it does. I hope they put him away for life, and they better not let him near those kids again!!

The scenerio described is one reason I don't ever want to be on a SWAT team and I only back up interdiction officers. Dealers use children all the time to hide and carry drugs. We often find the drugs stuffed in a childs diaper.

I can tell you that the family only cared about this guy because he supplied them money from his drug business, and they now smell money because of what happened. They will be falling down and rolling on the the ground screaming for the cameras all day long if they think it will bring in the $$$$. I will bet if you only listen to the news, you would think the dealers were the best men you would ever meet and the woman that was killed was only one step down from Mother Teressa.

I am just sorry anyone was killed/injured in all this. I feel sorry for the children, and the cop and his family.

Sad, so sad.

They better not get a red cent. I guarantee that officer was following his training and instincts. As a Military man I know how important it is to rely on your training and instincts, because if you end up in a bad situation and have to take the time to question either of them, it is too late for you...the bad guy wins.

Nobody should have to pay for her making a bad decision for her and her child, and allowing for them to be in that situation.

The only person I really feel sorry for is the SWAT officer. I am sure he did what he thought was right. I wasn't on SWAT but I was a LEO for 4.5 years. I can't tell you how many times I thought it was lights out for me.

I will say them as well.
Sorry she had to die and the injury to her 6th child.
She had drugs and a known drug user in her house as well as being 26 years old with 6 kids. Chances are she was also doing some of the drugs. If you want to play the game you risk everything you have, even your own life and your kids as well.

4. Councilman owning the home where drugs WERE found but not beliving they were there. - FAIL

Whole lot of fail there. Sure they probably did exactly what the SWAT team wanted and the po-po's just shot them for no reason...MMHmm. I wonder how many guns they had in that house? I wonder how many other adults were in the house? How many of them tried to dive out the back door or were reaching under pillows or chairs?

Sorry she died but seriously if you make the choice to live that way ..well you die by your choices. I am sure she never said no to the drug money they were bringing in.
