I get what you're saying but this ain't a black & white thing, it was a human being (her) vs turd sandwich (cop) thing and the sooner that the rest of the country can recognize that all cops are not in it for altruistic reasoning the better off we will all be.

I gotta agree with Bayou on this one. There was a study of how white people are treated by the police vs black people. I honestly feel that if Maddie was on her way back to Jacksonville with her three kids and did the exact same thing, Deputy Friendly would not have reacted this way. Maddie would not of been handcuffed and detained at a gas station forever. Deputy Friendly would of radioed dispatch and advised them that the situation was under control/misunderstanding and the other two deputies would of met up with him a little later, probably at the same gas station.

Another no knock raid gone bad in 2019
=====================
A former Houston Police officer pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday morning in a civil rights case tied to the deadly botched 2019 Harding Street raid.

Steven Bryant, 47, was arrested by FBI agents in late 2019 and charged with obstructing justice by falsifying records related to a no-knock warrant that led to the deaths of Dennis Tuttle, 59, and Rhogena Nicholas, 58.

Bryant is now the first officer to be convicted in the raid’s wake.

In a statement to Houston Public Media, Bryant’s lawyer, Andy Drumheller, wrote that the former officer’s guilty plea reflected “his decision to take responsibility for his conduct.”

“He very much regrets what happened,” Drumheller wrote.

Prosecutors say both Bryant and former HPD officer Gerald Goines, 56, who led the narcotics squad that executed the raid, concocted a story about a confidential informant who purchased heroin from the couple’s home in order to obtain the warrant.

In the ensuing raid, both Tuttle and Nicholas were shot and killed, along with their dog. Goines and four other officers were also wounded, according to court documents.

While Goines was hospitalized, an investigation later revealed that he invented the story, police said.

Goines was arrested alongside Bryant, and was hit with a slew of charges, including felony murder and violating the victims’ Fourth Amendment rights. He has pleaded not guilty………

Judges approving these no knock raids need scrutiny too. Maybe there wasn't a way to verify the accuracy of the officer's story to justify the raid, but judges do need to exercise better judgement when approving the raids and not just rubber stamp them.
 
An Arizona grand jury indicted a former police officer on a manslaughter charge in the shooting death last year of a man who was in a motorized wheelchair, officials said Thursday.

Former police officer Ryan Remington, who was fired from the Tucson Police Department earlier this year, is scheduled to appear in court next week for an arraignment hearing, Pima County Attorney Laura Conover said Thursday.

He allegedly fatally shot Richard Lee Richards, 61, who was accused of shoplifting from a Walmart store on November 29, 2021.

The investigation into the shooting was guided by “a team of seasoned former prosecutors” outside of Pima County to help county prosecutors move forward with the process, Conover said during a news conference.

“Our criminal prosecutors conducted a preliminary review to determine what additional aspects of the incident required further investigation to do this case justice,” Conover said. “By early summer, it became clear we would begin the work to convene a grand jury to seek criminal charges.”

Remington’s attorney, Mike Storie, told Arizona Public Media his client would enter a plea of not guilty. He also described the case as ridiculous and said Remington would be appealing his termination from the police department..............

Shot nine times and like all of these cases you wonder if this cop is fired if there was no video of it

I find it . . . disheartening that an armed individual can walk into a school and slaughter 20+ individuals and the police just stand by. An unarmed individual can say Eff you cops or walk away and get shot and killed. I just don't get it at all.
