Man Shoots at Intruders, Turns Out it was a No-Knock Raid. Now He Faces the Death Penalty
On Friday, May 9, 2014, just after 5:30am in Killeen, Texas, Marvin Louis Guy was the target of a no knock raid.
The officers were looking for drugs, yet none were found in the home. There was some questionable paraphernalia, but nothing indicative of drug dealing- or anything damning enough for a reasonable person to feel the need to take an officers life.
Likely alarmed by the men climbing through his windows at 5:30 in the morning, Guy and his wife sought to protect themselves and their property and fired on the intruders - in self defense.
Dinwiddie, along with three other officers were shot while attempting to breach the windows to the home, according to the department’s press release.
Since the shooting occurred during the break in, a reasonable person would assume they had not yet identified themselves as police officers. How on earth is this not self defense?
Prosecutors are now seeking the death penalty against Guy. He is charged with capital murder in Dinwiddie’s death, as well as three counts of attempted capital murder for firing on the other officers during the shootout, injuring one other officer. Body armor protected others who were hit.
This is wrong on so many levels… Everything he wanted to do is to save himself, his pregnant woman and their property. That’s what the 2nd amendment was created for. But he’s a black man, and if he had been white NRA supporters would be in the streets protesting his 2nd amendment rights and his right to defend his home.
Hell if he had been white they never would have considered pressing charges.
Justice for Martin Louis Guy!
Bust it.
Here’s the petition “Please drop the Capital Murder and Attempted Murder charges against Marvin Louis Guy for the shooting death of Officer during a No-Knock Raid at his Home”.
What the fuck is a no-knock raid??? They shouldn’t be allowed to do that!

A No-Knock Raid was practice that was implemented during the War On Drugs. There are “legal” parameters for it. General speaking it is ineffective and has a strong likelihood of civilians getting shot. Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow explains it better than I can

The Haskell Free Library and Opera House is a neoclassical building that straddles the international border in Rock Island (now part of Stanstead), Quebec and Derby Line, Vermont. The Opera House opened on June 7, 1904, and was deliberately built on the border between Canada and the United States. It was declared a heritage building by both countries in the 1970s.
Today, the library has two different entrances (one from each country), and hence, two different addresses: its American address is 93 Caswell Avenue, while its Canadian address is 1, rue Church (Church Street). Exiting the library through the opposite entrance requires one to report to the country’s customs thereafter.
The international boundary is marked on the floor of the building in a black line.

Did you know that due to American Public Law 94-479, by the 94th Congress, George Washington is protected from being outranked by any officer in past, present, and future? Meaning if there’s a 6th star general, Washington is automatically upgraded to 7th. There is a law dedicated to preserving Washington’s badass status.
What the hell are you smoking in that country?
I’m laughing so hard at the border sign differences between Canada and the U.S
First we have Canada that’s pretty okay, yeah greeting us in French as well! Thank!
And then we have America…
Jesus..

Anonymous asked:
It really rustles my jimmies when people call the USA "America" like really? What about all the other American countries? No wonder the rest of the world thinks we're so full of ourselves. Smh
People call the USA America because….. part of the name of our country is…..AMERICA.
-the Polish one
Your part of America is called North America. Latin and South Americans dont go calling themselves Americans. What the Anon is talking about is that USA citizens call themselves Americans like, the USA is the only country in America.
There’s this little country called Canada that’s also in North America.
Second largest land mass in the world? Has a large part of the world’s supply of freshwater? You might have heard of it?
Personally, I never say “Are you from America?” I always ask that question as “Are you from the States?”, because America refers to the whole continent.
Manifest Destiny can kiss my ass.

What is most striking about the American police state is not the mega-corporations running amok in the halls of Congress, the militarized police crashing through doors and shooting unarmed citizens, or the invasive surveillance regime which has come to dominate every aspect of our lives. No, what has been most disconcerting about the emergence of the American police state is the extent to which the citizenry appears content to passively wait for someone else to solve our nation’s many problems. Unless Americans are prepared to engage in militant nonviolent resistance in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi, true reform, if any, will be a long time coming.
Yet as I detail in my book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, if we don’t act soon, all that is in need of fixing will soon be unfixable, especially as it relates to the police state that becomes more entrenched with each passing day. By “police state,” I am referring to more than a society overrun by the long arm of the police. I am referring to a society in which all aspects of a person’s life are policed by government agents, one in which all citizens are suspects, their activities monitored and regulated, their movements tracked, their communications spied upon, and their lives, liberties and pursuit of happiness dependent on the government’s say-so.
That said, how can anyone be expected to “fix” what is broken unless they first understand the lengths to which the government with its arsenal of technology is going in order to accustom the American people to life in a police state and why being spied on by government agents, both state and federal, as well as their partners in the corporate world, is a problem, even if you’ve done nothing wrong.

I don't even live in the US, and I think this is important.
