The Execution of David Hooks by Georgia SWAT
The community is outraged, and rightly so. 59 year-old David Hooks was a suburbanite who was executed during the serving of a "knock and announce" warrant that was issued on the basis of the police having been given information that Hooks was in possession of methamphetamine.

Who provided the information? The same man who two days previous had stolen Mr. Hooks' vehicle from his driveway. The police claim he turned himself in because he found a bag containing drugs in the vehicle he stole from Hooks.

Seventeen shots fired by SWAT. Four shots hit Hooks, one in the side of his head and one in his back. According to Hooks' widow's attorney, there is evidence that Hooks was lying on the floor when shot in the head and back.

David Hooks was an affluent white businessman without a criminal record.

Re: The Execution of David Hooks by Georgia SWAT
Even if you are "innocent", it's a bad idea to pull a gun on SWAT operators --

it would be better to have cooperated and surrendered and have your day in court, rather than be dead.

Well, Brief, that's not exactly how it went down.

Even though it was a "knock and announce" warrant, there was no knock, but rather a violent break-in by unknown intruders two days after the family had been burglarized.

Re: The Execution of David Hooks by Georgia SWAT
David Hooks was the 34th innocent victim to have been killed by law enforcement in a similar manner THIS YEAR.

Drug task force officer Chris Brewer, who obtained the warrant which resulted in the raid, lied to the judge about the circumstances and evidence which justified the warrant application.

One of the seventeen police shell casings on the scene was found outside the house, at the egress. This shot presumably served as the the "announcement" of the raid.

Well, I'm sure they must have shouted "POLICE!" after entering the home , yet the guy still pointed a gun at them.

Seventeen shots were fired -- obviously they felt he posed a threat to them.

This will case will go before the grand jury -- and I promise, they will not indict these officers for defending themselves.

There is no evidence, Brief, that Hooks pointed a gun at officers. Hooks' gun was determined to have been UNLOADED.

Furthermore, you're grasping at straws in your defense of law enforcement. There is evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Georgia law enforcement and yet you are "sure they must have shouted "POLICE!" ". What makes you so sure of that, Brief?

What makes you think that a confidential informant (an employee of law enforcement) like Rodney Garrett couldn't or wouldn't frame you in a similar manner? What makes you think that police would not execute you in a similar fashion?
