(I'm not stereotyping; that's who they got the warrant for. The black gangbangers, that is; the house they shot up was a Hmong family's, inhabited by, and only by, the Hmong family.) <BR/><BR/>Preferably before firing two dozen rounds into the place, not one of them hitting anything resembling an attacker.joelrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745514449389969195noreply@blogger.com
