oh yeah, thats me. Jumping to conclusions of an entire police force based on a single incident.

I pointed to a study of over 300 botched raids by many different police departments, but I guess that because it was a study done by a single person, that it holds absolutely no merit, especially since it's done by the tinfoil hat wearing cato institute/libertarian/ganja smoking/agitator blog site owner. Would my opinion hold more weight if I could point out 300 different people that studied the same subject, showing 300 different examples? Or would it not really matter to you at all?
