Last November, 92-year-old Atlanta resident Kathryn Johnson was killed in her home during a no-knock raid conducted by narcotics police.

Hearing intruders tearing the safety bars from her front door, the terrified grandmother grabbed her revolver and blindly fired a few shots at the unseen invaders. The return fire consisted of thirty-nine gunshots, leaving Mrs. Johnson mortally wounded and two officers injured from the crossfire.

The police handcuffed the bleeding and dying grandmother. Failing to find drugs in her home, they planted three small bags of marijuana at the scene. The officers concocted a cover story and then tried to suborn false testimony from an informant to support it.

The cover-up eventually disintegrated, and all three police officers now face criminal charges. None of them, however, will stand trial for felony murder ? which is the charge private sector thugs would face in identical circumstances.

This is just a snapshot of the rampant police corruption resulting from the so-called war on drugs.

Let us stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
