Narcotics officers trying to serve a search warrant, were greeted by gunfire wounding three officers. They returned fire and killed their assailant--a 92 year-old woman

Statements have been made to the effect that everything was done by the book--I would suggest that someone needs to rewrite the book when you end up in a gun fight with a 92 year old woman.

How much trouble is the Atlanta police force in?

The woman was black. Black Panthers were making statements to the press. Johnny Cochrane's law firm has been retained.

Yikes.

UPDATE: Some new details are coming out, such as these were plainclothes police with a "no-knock" warrant, which means the only knock you hear is your door hitting the floor. Police state that they identified themselves anyways.

So what? Three guys bust in your door, do you automatically think police? The cops were fortunate she didn't have a better weapon.

More Bad Cop News catalogs incidents like these, including the shooting of a 50 year-old Huntsville, AL man under similar circumstances, as well as a Richmond man, shot on his front lawn in front of his children.

As I said, the "book" needs an edit. These tactics are designed to protect the police and to hell with the public.
