Every coin has two sides.

You've posted a rant on a news story that we've never seen, and posted a PDF of some police officer getting an award.

We're supposed to simultaneously assume (a) the officer was wrong (b) the department, knowing the officer was wrong, still awarded him a medal, (c) the "Noels" were completely innocent and she didn't make any moves with gun still in hand, (d) the no-knock was unjustified, (e) and also be ENRAGED that our police are being oh-so-evil.

Give me the news story, from both sides. Give me officer testimony and even the Noel's side of the story.

Frankly, I'm shocked at how many people immediately jump on the police BECAUSE they are police. Your first line gives away your bias against them, and it's obvious that you didn't read much of their side of the story. Hell, your source is "the agitator," a liberal columnist to who hates police and the 'drug war.' I wonder what bias he had when he heard this 'story' ?

You don't, of course, have to provide any of that. But don't be surprised if I'm not automatically upset everytime someone complains that the police are out of line.

I also find it interesting that I cannot find a single reliable news source on this "story." The only sites hosting a version of this are "Copwatch" and "Marijuana Report" and "The Agitator" and "RadicalRuss" .. ?
