Cops Running Wild

They stormed Marvin Louis Guy’s home at 5 AM to “serve a warrant.” Guy, fearing a ‘home invasion” when he was attacked by people he didn’t know, got his gun and prepared to defend his home. He’s lucky to be alive, since cops, in that kind of situation, usually fill the homeowner full of holes. Instead, they arrested him for murder and attempted murder (three counts) on a police officer. Now he faces the death penalty for defending his home against unknown invaders. This is not right. Cops should not be allowed to invade people’s homes and charge the homeowner with a crime when he rightfully defends his home, which he is allowed to do, under the law. I know they do it like that to surprise people, who are thought (operative word, “thought”) to be criminals. But that surprise can get them killed, and they treat being killed in that fashion as a simple crime—which it is NOT, except in THEIR case. I remember a case where they conducted such a raid on phony charges because the sheriff wanted this guy’s land for his own purposes. He appeared with a gun and they “filled him full of holes” and bought the property for “a song” from his widow. This is not an item against cops, per se; it's against cops who exceed their authority and kill innocent people. (Last Resistance)
