Anthony Diotaiuto Update

There was some additional information in the papers today, and I planned an update, but Radley’s done it very well already. Go read.
There’s no way that this killing can be justified. Because there is no justification for the police decision to bust into his house.
We must, as a society, come to the conclusion that busting down a door to make an arrest should be reserved for those rare situations where it is required to save the lives of citizens (like hostage situations). The prevention of flushing is not a sufficient reason.
