I stumbled upon a cop site. They are not making things any better. Policeone.com The cops have changed the door opening 4 times now according to the news. But one question on the latest one. He flung the door open....if the door was flung open, why is there 5 shots to the door with one in the frame? They never ran the tag number. Every cop has a sholder radio, one in his car, and a computer. Plus this time they had a dog. None of them were used. I get a knock on my door at that time of night and I have a weapon of some kind with me. Should I now fear the cops here? No. I won't give them that type of power over me. I have 3 children and I WILL protect them at All cost! I was at the protest and the candle vigil. The cops never told him to drop his weapon. They open fired. They are in the wrong. Knowing Drew he never would have had his gun if they said who they were.FLMommanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172064542047038417.post-83062640980439185682012-07-20T11:05:05.356-07:002012-07-20T11:05:05.356-07:00Amanda, thanks for writing in.

When I first heard about this incident, I read a lot of different reports about it, trying to distill the real story. I've pointed out some insconsistencies and conflicting reports in my write-up.<br /><br />I'd like to hear what you have to say about it, too - over ice cream sundaes or something like that. <br /><br />I can understand why the deputies shot him when they did. What makes this such a tragedy is that it didn't have to happen, and that the victim didn't do anything wrong.<br /><br />Just to clarify for all of my other readers: remember, I'm not anti-cop. I tried to make that clear in my original article. I'm just anti-stupid.Zyzmoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262005290131425919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172064542047038417.post-30448374319056243292012-07-19T22:22:34.420-07:002012-07-19T22:22:34.420-07:00Ray,

My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to those who knew him and will miss him greatly.<br /><br /><br />However, as someone who has had some LE training, I can see the deputies side of things. I'd be happy to talk to you in person about it. I don't necessarily agree with their actions or their comments, but I can see it from their point of view.<br /><br />I also don't necessarily think news reports are a super legit source...I stopped watching the news completely because they tend to bend things as much as they can to make cops look bad. I've seen events while out with LE officers and have read the story in the newspaper or seen it on the news the next day and it's completely twisted; completely false accusations about things I've seen with my own eyes.Amanda Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14651489235860174718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172064542047038417.post-38854806141563530442012-07-17T11:08:58.564-07:002012-07-17T11:08:58.564-07:00My husband worked with Drew (as hes known to frien...My husband worked with Drew (as hes known to friends) and I just wanted to say Thank you. You are the first person to post something logical. Thank you for stating the obvious. And you can bet your bottom I would answer the door the same way. He was a very kind person. The cops here seem to let the gun and badge go to their heads. If I speed I get a ticket. They fly down my street NO lights No sirens. They took a sweet and loving person away and dont seem sorry in the least. My family will be moving out of the state of FL asap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172064542047038417.post-70069341187649488842012-07-17T11:06:48.628-07:002012-07-17T11:06:48.628-07:00I was one of Drew's coworkers, and I'd lik...I was one of Drew's coworkers, and I'd like everyone to know he was not a violent person.
