Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

May 18, 2010

Seven-year-old Aiyana Jones was sleeping on the couch in the living room of her family?s Detroit home when the SWAT team arrived at midnight. Seconds later, Aiyana was dead.

The official story is that a sidearm was accidentally discharged while a SWAT operator struggled with Aiyana?s 46-year-old grandmother. An attorney for the family claims that a video of the incident shows that a shot was fired into the house before the SWAT team entered.

The purpose of this operation was to arrest a murder suspect, who reportedly was found in the other half of the duplex. Why carry out a midnight SWAT raid on a home occupied by children? The most obvious answer is that the Detroit Police wanted to stage a telegenic operation for an A&E cable network camera crew that was embedded with the SWAT team.

By serving their PR needs, the police not only failed to protect Aiyana Jones, they killed her through depraved indifference. May God grant peace to her soul, and comfort to her family.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
