                DODGE COUNTY DEPUTIES DOWN DOPER

On April 28, Scott Bryant, a twenty nine year old Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
resident, was living peacefully in his home when Dodge County Sheriff's
deputies suddenly smashed their way in and shot Scott to death on the
spot. Scott was unarmed and no guns were found. They did, however, find
what they were looking for: three grams of cannabis flowers and leaves. 

Scott's neighbor, Ken Pearson, told reporters "They [the officers]
rushed in the door but they didn't holler anything. As soon as they
kicked the door in, we heard the shot." Scott's seven year old son
watched his father die as they waited 35 minutes for the ambulance. 

Just another example that drugs cause violence in those who do NOT use
them toward those who do use them. So should we outlaw non-drug use??
