"On Jan. 4 of last year, a local narcotics strike force conducted a raid on the Ogden, Utah, home of Matthew David Stewart at 8:40 p.m. The 12 officers were acting on a tip from Mr. Stewart's former girlfriend, who said that he was growing marijuana in his basement. Mr. Stewart awoke, naked, to the sound of a battering ram taking down his door. Thinking that he was being invaded by criminals, as he later claimed, he grabbed his 9-millimeter Beretta pistol.

The police say that they knocked and identified themselves, though Mr. Stewart and his neighbors said they heard no such announcement. Mr. Stewart fired 31 rounds, the police more than 250. Six of the officers were wounded, and Officer Jared Francom was killed"
I understand that statists will be offended when I say this, but in situations like this, the police are the aggressors. They're nothing more than armed gangs breaking into peoples' houses. Mr Stewart was not a violent felon barricaded in a home with a hostage. He was doing NOTHING that was morally objectionable. I'm saddened that more cops weren't shot. I'm also saddened that Mr Stewart decided to "serve" the regime. That decision was costly, and did not stop the same regime from consuming him.
When will this standing army be disbanded? When will the insanity of the "war on [some] drugs" stop? When enough boot lickers get pulled over by officer 82nd airborne? We can only hope.
