Fom the local news…an elderly lady was killed by the police in a shooting. There’s a lot of speculation about the validity of the information that led to the approval of the search warrant.

I heard this story, and I was just shocked. A woman was shot by police as they burst into her home when they shouldn’t have been there in the first place?! How terrible! But then I heard one small detail that the media somehow didn’t find worthy of focus:

She shot and wounded 3 officers.

Well, that changes things a little bit. The newscast made it sound like the woman was innocently watching TV when police entered the house. Here’s the thing, though. She shot at police. And by the time she was killed, she certainly had to know she was firing at police. If you shoot at police, you deserve to be killed.

So now we’ve got people screaming about civil rights and how this woman should still be alive. What a mess (as most cases with people screaming about civil rights are).

It’s a terrible thing that Kathryn Johnston was killed. I don’t intend to sound like that’s a minor thing. But she shot at police. She wounded 3 officers. So for those of you who have considered firing a round at police, be warned…they’ll shoot back (as they should) and you might die. You’ve been warned.
