Texas Jury Refuses To Indict Man Who Shot and Killed Officer During ‘No Knock’ Raid.

(A) Texas grand jury has refused to indict Goedrich Magee, 20, who shot and killed a law enforcement officer, Burleson County Sgt. Adam Sowders, 31, during a no knock entrance into his home. Magee said that he thought he was being robbed and acted to protect his pregnant girlfriend and children. The grand jury “no billed” the case in February.

Bravo Zulu to that grand jury!! Glad to see they had the balls to resist pressure from the prosecutor and stick to the facts(wherever that may have led them) or to simple common sense.
I dont revel in anyones death but maybe if enough cops get killed doing these stupid no knocks for petty bullshit somebody will have a Homer Simpson moment (Doooh!!!) and figure out that for 99% of criminals, maybe just MAYBE two deputies on the doorstep having a polite conversation would be a more appropriate response?
Naah, they'll just start dropping MK82 500 lb bombs on the house. Cops must go home safe, ya know!

Maybe next time a swat team commander says "we're gonna kick in this guy's doors without knocking for this pile of parking tickets" the team will say "Fuck you, sir. We ain't goin!"

It's alright. They'll just keep dragging him before other grand juries until they get their indictment.

That how it's done in the new Amerika.

Ye, that's what's needed. More thinking individuals on grand juries so D.A.'s can't get away with indicting "a ham sandwich". I'm on a grand jury now and i would have argued like hell during deliberations not to indict.

Maybe more incidents like this with similar outcomes will send an even clearer message to law enforcement that their militarization and Gestapo tactics aren't going to be tolerated. If they want to act like real bad asses only when there's a whole group of them against a citizen or two or three,
then let them put on a military uniform and put their asses on a real battle line.

All this mean is that the State is going to further erode the power of the people. In this case, juries.
