I'm going to use plain language a moment, because this is the only way to convey my feelings on the "drug war rant" site link you posted, cataloging "drug war victims". It's fucking absurd, and I feel like you're calling us morons for even posting that nonsense.
I stopped reading that totally one-sided trash site when I got about 15 people in and
THEY LISTED A SUICIDE. A SUICIDE.
A woman killed HERSELF because she didn't want to go to jail for growing her own marijuana to control her back pain-
and that site counts it among the "victims". They also listed a man who
choked to death on his own vomit because he experienced great pain not alleviated by his normal, self-medicating marijuana regimine. Those TWO were within the first 20 people listed. VICTIMS OF WHAT? Not anyone or anything but themselves.
If they will do that, I have absolutely no reason to believe a single goddamn word of that drivel. It's also very apparent by the wording on a lot of them that it's an emotionally-driven retelling, and very one-sided in its approach to "telling" the story.

Are you
SERIOUSLY going to argue about the 92 year old woman who
emptied her 6-shot revolver on THREE police officers?

Investigator Gregg Junnier, 40, was shot three times, police said, in the side of the face, in the leg and in the center of his protective vest. Investigator Gary Smith, 38, was shot in the left leg, and Investigator Cary Bond, 38, was shot in the left arm.

Not only did she empty her revolver at them, 5 of her 6 shots HIT the officers,
including a head shot that thankfully only caught the side of his face, and
one in the center of his VEST.
On what grounds do you call into question whether or not returning fire was justified? What reason could you possibly have for this patently insane line of thinking? From exactly what alternate reality are you getting the notion that returning fire on a person
who has just shot at you and two other officers is wrong? Your prejudice is as grossly obvious as your desire to blindly defend it. This is an unbelievable disrespect of the highest degree, to the point of being offensive.
