Law Enforcement: 77-Year-Old Man Killed in Marijuana Raid After Firing on Officers
May 15, 2009 - Drug War Chronicle
A 77-year-old Foley, Alabama man was shot and killed during a pre-dawn raid by police officers with a search warrant for marijuana. Robert Woods had emerged from a rear bedroom holding a gun and fired once, wounding one police officer. Four other officers returned fire, killing the homeowner.
Arrested in the raid was Woods' son, Michael Woods, 51, who had been the raid's target. Woods had told an undercover investigator he had a large quantity of marijuana, resulting in the search warrant served during the fatal raid. It is not clear how much marijuana was seized. Michael Woods shared the home with his parents.
In the police version of events, officers knocked on the door, then announced they were entering the house, then entered the house yelling "Police! Search warrant!" Then they detained Michael Woods and his mother before a man came out of the bedroom holding a handgun. Officers shouted for Woods to drop the gun, but he fired, striking Officer Randy Stillworth. The other officers then fired back, killing Woods. That version of events has not been corroborated by witnesses.
In the comment section of the article linked to above, a person who identifies herself as Wood's granddaughter had this to say: "He and my grandmother survived being robbed at gunpoint in their home in McCalla, Alabama. He also survived a horrible accident when the golf cart he was driving, working as a security guard, lost control and went up under an eighteen wheeler. He had to have brain surgery to remove a tumor due to that accident. Now, let me set the scene for y'all. For one, he didn't have his hearing aids in. Secondly, he didn't have his glasses on. Thirdly, what the hell would y'all do if you give his history, if all of sudden you where woken by a loud boom?!?!?!? You would grab the nearest object that you have by your bed. And seeing that we all live in Alabama, you either have a baseball bat or a gun. So, he grabs his gun and goes running towards the sound of the boom, all he sees is a figure moving in his home!!! Now, Mike sold to an undercover the night before in the driveway and says he has a large supply in the house. People, it was 4 small bags of pot. My paw-paw lost his life for 4 small bags of pot."
Foley Police have called in the Alabama Bureau of Investigation, as is standard with police shootings. They will be assisted by the Baldwin County District Attorney's Office and the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office, he said. Meanwhile, the officers involved in the shooting are on administrative leave.

Thank you Obama. Another death on your hands for refusing to do anything to end insane prohibition. Ruining lives for doing the same thing you did before you became president. A cowardly bigot we can believe in.

Something has got to be done about these intrusive searches.
They are a danger to not only the dealers, but their families, police officers, and innocent civilians when mistakes are made.
Americans can't feel safe in our own homes because of the forces that should be protecting us.

The fact he lost his life over any quantity of cannabis is simply unacceptable and extremely disgusting.

Yes I am sure Obama wants all the weed-heads in jail. Thats why he chose a cop that is open to reform as the drug czar.

Where did seuss say anything about wanting every "weed-head" in jail?
He said the death was on obama's hands cuz he failed to do anything to end the war on people doing the same damn thing as him. It wouldn't have mattered if marijuana was completely decriminalized- this shit could have still happened. So it has nothing to do with desiring incarceration, it has everything to do with not stopping what he must recognize as wrong (unless he's a stupendously arrogant person).

You expect too much from the president. All presidents are evil, if you look at it that way we have a pretty good one.

The cops from foley are very dirty, well at least the sheriffs from baldwin county, 4 pulled me over and took my ounce of orange kush and pipe and gave me no warning just drove off into lillian and smoked my shit. Im glad i didnt end up in jail but i was pissed as hell that they debo'ed my stash. I dont pray but if i see their family in town ill be sure to show my condolences for our community

ive long realized, even before i was 10, that they just say stuff to pump us up, then we get disappointed, make obscene pictures, and post it on the shroomery forums. I would be surprised if we found a president that went through with what he said, then again..what kind of president would that make him in the eyes of the politicians? not a good one.

RIP.
Man tried to protect his family.
He was a soldier in the war as far as Im concerned and deserves our respect.
Its harmless marijuana.
Americans killing americans over that? We actually think its acceptable to lock humans up in a cage for possessing and smoking a plant? Legalize it. I still wouldnt smoke it anyways but I wont have to read bullshit all the time of people being locked up or shot for it.
Out of control.

Obama or not, this dude shot at a cop, you can expect return fire ALWAYS. Pretty sad but he doesn''t have to spend 20 years in the slammer from from age 77 to death.
