Mississippi Drug War Blues

If you're not familiar with the case of Corey Maye, he is a Mississippi man who was tried and convicted of killing a police officer during a SWAT raid on a duplex.  Corey, who was locked in his bedroom with a gun protecting his 18 month old child, says that the police never announced beforehand, and that he shot the man breaking into the bedroom in defense of his home and child.  You can read the original story here.

The Drew Carey Project has now produced an excellent video with all the most recent news, and some absolutely shocking revelations about what lead up to the original raid, now that Corey's new lawyer is attempting to appeal. This is yet another case of the madness of SWAT raids and the War on DrugsTM in this country, and the absolutely devastating and inexcusable cost it has on our society and freedom.
