Diamonds Ford thought she was shooting at an intruder when Florida cops raided her home without knocking. Then she was charged with attempted murder.

    She unloaded a full mag blindly into the dark, without knowing who or where the intruders were.

    The raid was unjustified, but this woman is exactly the kind of dangerous, careless gun owner who makes others look bad. She doesn’t even know how to reload the gun?!?! She has NO business having one.

      Seems like the state disagrees, she has every right having a gun and doing exactly that.

      The issue was that it was the unannounced police on the receiving side, and they don’t like being shot at.

        Florida isn’t exactly known for being reasonable or logical. I’m talking from a responsible owner’s perspective.

        Yep, they should have announced it. And even before that, they should have verified the fucking info.
