Here's a fun map, every botched police raid including : Raid on an Innocent, Suspect Death or injury of a police officer, Death of a nonviolent offender, Death of an innocent.


Damn! 3 in Louisiana. By the way No-Knock warrants are VERY rarely granted in this state and that is why I often remind posters here to pay attention to where you live.

I'm surprised to see one from 2008. I thought Baton Rouge stopped doing that after Melancon was killed.

Of course it was a college apartment, they're not expecting resistance.

There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.


Police have become a military force. You are the enemy.

Title: Salvador Hernandez

Type: Death of an innocent.

State: OR

Description: On August 2, 1996, police storm the home of 62-year-old Salvator Hernandez on a drug raid. The raid is part of a broader raid that morning involving 47 police officers and federal agents. Hernandez, who is nearly deaf, is making breakfast for himself and his friend, 54-year old Bortolo Pineda. According to police, as they entered the home, Hernandez took the knife he was using to make breakfast and "lunged" at them with a "menacing" look on his face. According to Pineda, Hernandez didn't hear the police shouts, and had turned to get some sausage from the refrigerator. Police opened fire, and hit Hernandez in the chest five times, killing him. Hernandez was a farmworker described by friends and his employer as a "good man," and a "good worker." He had no criminal record, and in fact had been a police officer in Mexico before coming to America. He was a grandfather of 21 and a great-grandfather of one. There were no drugs on his person or in his system. Just days later, a grand jury would clear the raiding officers of all charges, ruling that they had reason to believe their lives were in danger. Salem police pointedly refused to apologize for Hernandez's death. Sources: Cheryl Martinis, "Two Salem officers kill 63 year-old," The Oregonian, August 3, 1996. Laura Trujillo, "Jury clears police in fatal shooting," The Oregonian, August 8, 1996. Laura Trujillo, "Police in Salem decline to apologize," The Oregonian, August 9, 1996. Laura Trujillo, "The Shooting of Salvador Hernandez," The Oregonian, Septebmer 1, 1996.

Date: Aug 2, 1996



In all of these wrongful death descriptions of an innocent that I've read from that site, the officers were acquitted. Typical or the agenda of the site?
