Atty: Video Shows Police Fired Into Detroit Home
If true,this is literally the smoking gun video.


An attorney for the family of a 7-year-old girl slain during a weekend raid at their Detroit home says video footage contradicts the police department's version of events.

Geoffrey Fieger (FI-ger) said Monday that footage shot by the A&E crime-reality show "The First 48" shows that police fired into the home at least once after lobbing a flash grenade through a window

1. I don't watch those shows
but this may put a damper on having cameras watching their every move.

3. I rate Reality TV right under 'professional' wrestling.
I'd rather watch MSNBC's prison series...

4. "Accidental discharge" - meh.
I lived in a town in New Hampshire where the local chief of police was all gung ho about his new SWAT team (mid 80's when this was new) so they broke into some poor slobs home at 4am (this is a commuter suburb not some high crime urban ghetto) without identifying themselves, shot the place up and in the process of doing so "accidentally discharged" multiple shots into the chest of the alleged marijuana dealer as he stood in his children's bedroom, killing him right in front of his kids. They found, supposedly, one roach. The only guns all belonged to the police. Nobody offered any resistance.
