Why don't they do a show on the role of "police informants" who give the
police the name or address of a "suspected" drug dealer. The police then
serve a "no knock" warrant at 5:00 AM, bust in the door and kill the person
there because he "threatened" them. Then it turns out that the house or man
was the wrong one and the police killed someone merely trying to defend
themselves against an invasion of their home. Why no talk about the rampant
and illegal acceleration of this type of activity in our "law enforcement"
community?
