its funny, had this been a criminal who broke into the womans home the same people bitching at the cops would be calling the old goat a murderer. the wussies of this nation tell me that should someone break into my home i have no right to defend myself and must leave my home and call the cops. that if someone enters my home and i kill them im a murderer and in the wrong.

but hold up! if its a cop that forceably enters my home im justified in using leathal force against the officers and should they harm me in anyway, its police brutality.

its good to know i have more rights in defending myself from law enforcement than i do a criminal.

Family of woman killed in botched drug raid to receive $4.9 million - CNN.com

Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- The city of Atlanta will pay $4.9 million to the family of Kathryn Johnston, a 92-year-old woman killed in a botched November 2006 drug raid, Mayor Kasim Reed's office announced Monday.

Johnston was shot to death by narcotics officers conducting a "no-knock" warrant. Investigators later determined the raid was based on falsified paperwork stating that illegal drugs were present in the home.

...

Last year, former officer Jason Smith was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, while former officers Greg Junnier and Arthur Tesler were sentenced to six and five years, respectively.

All three men pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to violate civil rights resulting in death. Smith and Junnier also pleaded guilty to state charges of voluntary manslaughter and making false statements, and Smith admitted to planting bags of marijuana in Johnston's home after her death.

...

Tesler was convicted on one state count of making false statements after filling out an affidavit saying that an informant had purchased crack cocaine at Johnston's home, in a crime-plagued neighborhood near downtown Atlanta.

The informant, however, denied ever having been to Johnston's home, leading to probes by federal and state authorities as well as the breakup and reorganization of the narcotics unit.

...

Prosecutors have said that officers regularly presented false information to obtain warrants and that they cut corners to make more time for lucrative side jobs providing additional security to businesses, often while on duty, and receiving cash payments.

The investigation into the botched raid also led to guilty pleas from the police sergeant in charge of the narcotics unit and another officer who admitted to extortion, authorities said.

She was 92 and lived alone in a dilapitated house in a slum, but she's guaranteed her family a big payday.

I don't know about y'all, but I'd take a few slugs to set my kids up for life.

Not sure if you've seen any of the interviews with the family of the departed, but that money doesn't stand a chance of lasting more than two years.
Far too many hands outstretched in the 'munnitay' and too many hangers on.

Why do you think 70% of NBA and NFL players declare bankruptcy after retirement? Social commentary aside, it's good to see the crooked cops punished and the city having to pay.

How much of that money do you think will actually get past the shysters into their hands in the first place?

Because they aren't very bright.
