A little terrifying how close to home this is. I guess police corruption knows no limits.

How’s the dog???

It seems anywhere you look nowadays, you have people with authority more and more tending to abuse it. It displays a lack of moral character.

I think the police force’s explanation is BULLSHIT! Too many out-of-control cops out there who need to be put in their place.

[ßuddaßudd]

Sorry? Just like the guy that shot the cops in Pheonix is sorry..
yeah right

“, law enforcement can only enter a home when they’ve been invited, have a search warrant or just witnessed a forcible felony. “

They can also enter an abandoned dwelling. We used to do that when I was in EMS.

..sue their badges off

the next thing I know I have weapons pulled on me, and they say, 'get down on the ground, get down on the ground.'

An American peasant's natural position in front of his Owners' violent sheepdogs...

[kiryandil]

"Again, I apologized, hoping that they would have come out a little sooner and told us what was going on."

Geez. Didn't these peasants know that they IMMEDIATELY have to stop what they're doing, and grovel in front of the .gov gunthugs?

They're lucky they didn't get what that woman who reported someone trying to pass a counterfeit bill at her place of work got...

[bigbob]

Maybe they’ll send the dog an email too

"Police protocol, we can't just walk away," he [the gundog] said.

CONFRONTATION Uber Alles!!!

I am sure there are many good cops and that is my experience with them, mostly positive. But more and more I hear stories of people on stuff as innocuous as a traffic stop with a cop with a real attitude. With the buzzcut, the leather gloves, the gortex military style holster and a huge canon in it. The cops that have a hair trigger tempers and just want to provoke a physical confrontation to show how tough they are. I had one state trooper outside Orlando who pulled my daughter and I over for speeding. After the normal “license and registration” I was waiting in the car talking with my daughter. The tropper pokes his head in the car abruptly..”What the F*** did you say, get out of the car Sir....”. My daughter got upset and I was being calm and asked the trooper...”Sorry sir what did I say?... Long story short, I got out of the car and he got in my face and then on a dime calmed down, gave me my ticket and left. I was like “WTF was that!”

I do Grav Maga and a few guys in my class, cops who should NOT be learning Grav. They are like the HS bully with a badge

In before the “in before” people get here.

[Altariel]

“Wolves” is more accurate.

“Sheepdogs” is more apt for those of us who speak out against them, IMHO.

Who officially said it was an abandoned dwelling?

[kiryandil]

Who officially said it was an abandoned dwelling?

The voices in their heads.

If they had had a K-9 unit with them, it could have given them a warrant...

[Gaffer]

There is another finer point here. VACANT does not officially mean abandoned.

No one. I was just clarifying.

[Gaffer]

Okay...no problem. We have entirely too large a percentage of police in this country who seem to think because they have a badge can do whatever the hell they want and then cite procedure or some other specious bullsh!t. Couple that attitude with an entirely too seeming willingness to hide the facts, evidence and anything else exculpatory for a victim and you have a Jackbooted tyranny. Just way too much of it in my opinion.
