This police state bullshit just keeps happening.

Sounds rather daft and heartless... Surprised the cops involved even agreed to do it!

I'm surprised the cops agree to do most of the shit they do nowadays.

[Mr. Clean]

They didn't have anything else better to do? What a waste of time.

They didn't have anything else better to do? What a waste of time. Waste of time, resources, and an insult to a person who just lost a dear loved one. You'd think they'd wait a day, then maybe contact the man and ask him to turn in the prescriptions. If for some reason he didn't, then I can see them showing up with an officer or 2 and asking him for them. But to be there within minutes of a persons death, and searching the entire house, that's completely out of line.
It shows how police are just enforcers for the state. They aren't protectors of the people anymore. They're shock troops for an authoritarian state. This was a show of force, to let people know who's in control.
