Via the agitator.com comes day seven of Ryan Frederick's trial: http://www.theagitator.com/2009/01/23/the-ryan-frederick-trial-day-three/ 

"Ryan Frederick is the 28-year-old Chesapeake, Virginia man facing murder charges for killing a police officer during a drug raid (see this wiki for more on Frederick’s case). My coverage of the first two days of his trial here.

I should note in these updates that I’m not actually in Chesapeake for the trial. My analysis of what’s happening is contingent on reporting from the trial from the Virginian-Pilot newspaper and from local blogger Don Tabor, who is writing up reports from notes he’s taking in the courtroom (and whom I’ve found to be pretty fair in his prior coverage of the case). "

 And then theres this guy, Lima Charlie, stridently defending the police, the prosecutors, the jail staff, even the mulitple felon having loser snitches who will get something in return for their testimony.  I dont even know here to begin, a sampling below.

   Hey Flack:

   Rest assured that the OIC for the Op very carefully considered the risk associated and reviewed same with the case detectives. No different than a military operation, sometimes risks are taken to get the job done. Sometimes people get injured and killed on what can be considered a moderate risk Op. It’s a projection, not an absoulute. Police actions are most often dictated by suspect behavior. That’s why these lines of work are considered dangerous and not for everyone. You can bet that the safety of all involved was considered to include RF. For the officers to testify that they couldn’t believe the “idiot” was shooting at them tells me that they gave said idiot extra consideration considering his break-in which he never bothered to report. If he was so flippin scared, why didn’t he get the police involved from the beginning?
