A military-style raid took place at the home of Levonia Riggins, 22, by a SWAT team looking for "illegal narcotics." Riggins, who had previously been arrested for cannabis possession with intent to sell, was subject to a month-long "drug investigation" before being gunned down in his home.
According to Tampa Bay Times:
"When investigators arrived at the house at 1432 Longwood Loop with a search warrant about 8 a.m., everyone inside came out except for Riggins, the major said. Others who left the house told deputies Riggins was inside, most likely in the rear, sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said in a news release.
That's when Deputy Caleb Johnson, 32, a seven-year veteran of the agency, entered the house with fellow SWAT members.
"After making numerous commands for Riggins to exit the residence, Deputy Johnson visually located Riggins in a bedroom, at which time Johnson perceived Riggins as an immediate threat and fired one shot, striking Riggins," Carter reported.
Riggins was taken to Tampa General Hospital, where he died."
Comment: The "The War on Drugs" is a fraud and a complete failure. Just look at the victim Levonia Riggins. He was killed over 2 grams of weed. Meanwhile intelligence agencies are flooding the planet with illicit hard drugs. Read more:
