While the death of this police officer is tragic I hope this brings attention to a overly used tactic that results in innocent people on both side dying every year. Kudos for the Great State of Texas for standing up for a honest American that was doing what anybody would do when confronted with a unknown home invader.

SOMERVILLE, TX– Last December, Henry Goedrich Magee was sleeping peacefully with his pregnant girlfriend when authorities entered his home in a “no-knock” raid around 6 a.m. With no warning, or search warrant, police swarmed Magee’s home searching for marijuana and guns. Magee believed the police were thieves and reached for his gun, which he legally owned. He opened fire and shot Sgt. Adam Sowders, who died at the scene. A grand jury decided on Wednesday that the incident could have happened to any homeowner in a similar situation, and declined to indict Magee for capital murder. “He did what a lot of people would have done,” said Magee’s attorney Dick DeGuerin. ‘He defended himself and his girlfriend and his home.’ |
