"Militarized" Cops

Cops in Oregon burst into a man’s home with a battering ram and shot him to death. But that’s called okay because he was shooting at them at the time, which he thought was right because heard NO “announcement” of just who they were. One cop died, and so did he, The cops all looked like soldiers, and had their faces covered behind masks under military-style helmets. They were heavily armed, and put 250 bullets in the homeowner, who was actually growing a small amount of pot in his basement. For which he got a death sentence for defending his property from what he thought were invading criminals. He was right. They were “criminals with badges” and wore “hob-nailed boots. This is happening more and more today: cops dressed like soldiers (and similarly trained) burst into a private home and murder the owner because of a SMALL violation of the law. Correction: after firing 250 bullets at him, he survived, only to commit suicide later after a court upheld the legality of that raid. What’s next? A SWAT raid over an unpaid traffic ticket?
