Drug warriors kill veteran over nothing

Outrageous. America's brave military personnel come home from a war and end up being treated like this.

In Tucson, Arizona, a SWAT team conducted a drug raid at the home of a former Marine who was an Iraq War vet. The SWAT team brutally killed the man in a hail of 71 bullets - though he never fired a single shot.

Now it turns out that the ex-Marine's family thought the SWAT team was actually a gang of home invaders. And the raid turned up no drugs whatsoever.

In other words, the failed War on Drugs has claimed the life of yet another innocent person.

In essence, the SWAT team actually was committing a home invasion. They didn't make sufficient effort to identify themselves as police, and there appears to have been no probable cause to raid the home, for the man had no drugs. Yes, it was a home invasion - and a homicide. It should be prosecuted as nothing less than that.

The War on Drugs death toll grows.
