Nice just nice. The DEA and narcotics agents have been raiding the wrong homes way to long now. Breaking down doors of the elderly has happened a few times. 92. This woman lived 92 years to have some cops that broke down her door and scared her to the point she shot them.
"My aunt was in good health. I'm sure she panicked when they kicked that door down," Dozier said. "There was no reason they had to go in there and shoot her down like a dog."
There is no excuse for this, and if the "bootlickers" come and state some half baked jackboot loving ideas about this woman being a front or some other crud shame on them!! They killed a 92 year old woman! Is this war on America/war on drugs worth this stuff?

The officers had gone to the old woman's house with a search warrant after buying drugs there from a man known only as Sam, police said.
...
Police issued a "John Doe" warrant on Wednesday for the arrest of Sam, believed to be in his early to mid 30s, who allegedly sold the drugs to the undercover agent.

The big question is who is this person that was dealing drugs out her house. That would, in my opinion, be the person most culpable for putting into motion the events that took this persons life.

More information in this case. The informant who claimed to have bought drugs at the house from a man named Sam has now retracted that claim - he says he was convinced to lie about the drug buy (presumably after things went bad). This reinforces the idea that the cops likely had the wrong house.

I read about this last night. Definatly needs to have someone look into this to find out what happend so it does not happen again.
I bet the cops are more embaressed that a 92-year old woman was able to hit 3 of them. That's better aim then the cops usually have...

It was said on the news today, by the Atlanta Police Chief that the drugs found in her home had been a small amount of marijuana. They didn't say exactly how much a "small" amount was, but they have confirmed it was there. Civil rights groups here want to now send a letter to Alberto Gonzales to provide an investigation into this matter.

I think it would be funny if she turned out to be the drug dealer....
These cops didn't shoot first and ask questions later... they were fired upon and returned fire, just as they're supposed to do.
I find it sad that anybody, especially the old, has to live in a society where guns, drugs and violence are so prevalent. I see there were no drugs involved after all. A tragic case of mistaken identity or wrong address. Is there then not a better way to handle this type of thing? What the hell is the matter with society that people have to live like this?
