Karl Denninger @ the Market Ticker, hits the nail right square on the head with this missive:
Cities like Detroit, on the other hand, will most likely literally burn to the ground.
Your choice to stay or go may, in the not-so-distant future, turn into the difference between life and death.
Choose wisely.
UPDATE: There is now an updated article on the web that claims:
- There was a "reality TV" camera crew shadowing the department.
- They had video and audio running at the time.
- "Aiyana Jones was shot from outside on the porch. The videotape shows clearly the officer throwing through the window a stun grenade-type explosive and then within milliseconds of throwing that, firing a shot from outside the home," he (the family's counsel) said.
If this is in fact true that's not negligence or manslaughter, it's murder. Firing into a residence without knowing who you're shooting at is not "police work", it is, when resulting in death, murder as the act was taken with premeditation and the premeditated act was reasonably foreseeable to cause death.
Further, if the police department is falsely reporting the facts then we can add obstruction of justice to the list.

This will not get better. A militarized police force can and will one day be used as an arm of a fascist government. There are already those who are corrupt to the core. Others are just to hard core. No knock warrants will end in more deaths. Often times innocent deaths. Especially tragic when it involves a child. All the potential that young girl had is now gone. Sad, very sad.
