Remember the child injured in flash gernade episode

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

July 2, 2014 Atlanta - Bounkham Phonesavanh (center) holds onto his mother Alecia's and father Bounkham Sr.'s hands as they walk to their table during a farewell breakfast at Delightful Eatz in Atlanta on Wednesday, July 2, 2014. Known as Baby Bou Bou, the young child has been in the hosital for the past five weeks after a botched drug raid in Habersham County. The family is moving back to Wisconsin later this week

Grand jury found no fault with the cops who threw the flash gernade into the dwelling. Damn, something should have resulted in this other than a child's mangled face.

1. Note to citizens: Police can and will enter your home and drop grenades. Check your 2nd Amendment.

And the other nine.

Police can and will enter your home, they don't necessarily identify themselves and they can get a warrant for entry and search on the flimsiest of evidence.

Call your representatives and don't take this shit.

But if you happen to be among the victims of this police state, don't go easily.
