Raid sought drugs from Easton home

Those who knew the homeowner know he was involved in drugs and other illegal activities. Including owning illegal arms. Put yourself in the officers shoes, going into a house where the occupants are high on heroin or crack. If you are going to surround yourself with drug dealers and prostitutes you're playing with your life. These are not childred, they are adults. Pity the neighbors who have to keep their childred in for fear someone this low life owes money will come by shooting....oh wait, that was the week before.......

hmmmm a dead druggie. Whats all the fuss? You charge the police, assault them, and expect minimal consequences? Don't be silly. Actions have consequences and we should punish teh criminal, not the police.

let me guess the people of easton does not want this type of situation associated with their town, had this been bridgeport and the comments would have been reckless.

GhettoEaston,

Ron was an "suspected" drug dealer. The police were executing a "search" warrant looking to establish that a crime took place. In other words, is it too much to ask that you enter a home with explosives and kill a homehowner's houseguest with out first establishing that a crime was being peretrated and evidence in hand. I smell a civil rights suit. Oh, and after the fact the article sights that the items sought in the warrant were not found. It sounds like the police did not do due diligence when researching the facts when writing the warrant. Question: Has Ron been to rehab lately? Why was his house shot at? Was it because he gave it up and his dealer was mad? Did he owe a dealer money. These raises questions about probable cause for suspecting him be a dealer.

It is not the police who protect us it is the laws and procedure in establishing evidence to presented in a court of law. Our founding father wrote our Constitution not to protect our property values but to protect us from our own government.

I hope Ron and the dead man's family wins big in the civil suit that's sure to follow. Just think, you'll be paying into his structured settlement for years to come. I just hope it does not go up in smoke.

As a law enforcement officer I can assure you that only in the suburbs would a bunch of Yahoos attempt this sort of action in search of a couple of glass pipes and personal use quantity of cocaine. No inner city tactical narcotics unit would go in there with flash grenades on a Sunday afternoon. If we went in at all, we'd go between 5:30 and 6:30 am, but certainly not chasing after a couple of glass pipes. Suburban police officers lack real world day to day operational experience to conduct these sorts of raids on a whim. I agree the Feds should look at this, though hold the decision makers accountable, not the poor cop thrown into a bad situation.

Mike!!! Writing more paragraphs to defend your buddy Ron, eh?

Don't you have some statistical genius work to do?

I know you probably also have plans to smoke crack with your buddy Ron since your defending him so.........

Everyone:

Please do not post anymore negative comments about Ron (the Easton home owner)..

You all are interfering with Mike from Stratford's crack smoking when he has to play keyboard cowboy and blog his defense of his hooker lovin', druggin' buddy.

Have a heart!

Are you sure thats all there was, or is that just what the paper is reporting.

The Easton officers are still working on the authorized search to see if there were drugs in Terebesi's house? It's Wednseday evening. The house is reported to be a small ranch! It's not the White House. What's taking so long?

This whole thing is a joke! Although drugs are illegal, they're looking for two small glass smoking pipes and cracj cocaine a tin box. And someone has to die?

I love the Constitution and my Faith (which values life). You need to work for a living like the rest of us. It's hard enough to protect your property and your personal freedoms when its not government officials out to take them away.

I agree with mission impossible. The one who ordered the raid should pay with his job and with his money. Mike does not love crack. Mike has not used an illegal drug since September of 1987 - which is probably more than can be said for yourself of the officers that raided the house. If being an addict was punishable by death than I would guess that your parents would have been dispensed with a long time ago. You comments suggest that you are the product of some drunk, lsd ridden fling in back of a VW van during woodstock. Fetal alcohal syndrome, inbreeding, and their ravages brings out the uglyness in people because the feel sorry for themselves. Grow up. Oh, by the way, You wouldn't happen to have six toes or one leg longer than the other.

OK, I'll try again. Which cities are disbanding their SWAT teams?

WTF was the doughnut brigade doing, apparently, without their tasers? I'd thought the new 'system' was to tase first and avoid lethal measures?

Um, Solomon didn't try to recruit any teenagers (again) for this, did he? With all those trigger-happy piggies 'on the case'?

I think the Police the raid the Easton Home and killed this person need to investigate more about raiding a home. This police killed an addict young person for no reason. Police from small towns need more trainning.

It has nothing to do with training. It has a lot to do with the people wearing the badge and they way they were brought up.

1.Most were brought up by their mom's because the parents were divorced. This would indicate that there was no full time father figure to teach the son to be a man instead of a semi-man.

2. Kids are brought up not knowing how to fight and defend themselves. Kids who fight and/or defend themselves in this age are arrested.

3. FACT! Cops have to work with woman cops who generally cannot do the job and because of their weaknesses other cops get injured or even killed. If you can't kick someones $$S who is bigger than you, then ya shouldn't be wearing a badge.

4. This new breed of wannabe Marine steroid freaks are trigger happy and get their adrenaline rush from beating people half to death instead of getting a bonjovi from their girlfriend.
