Enough of this kind of behavior has happened I think the police are losing their credibility.

Anyone can bust down a door at 2 or 3am and shout police. They’re all dressed in black ... anyone can buy security looking gear - of course there’s never been any case where a police officer was impersonated . Nope, never happened. Right? Right?

Need more of this.

The enforcers of the elites need to be taught to respect citizens.

I say, ‘Hooahh!’.

This is great news. Hopefully it will happen more often.

Ummm. No. He did NOT shoot a police officer.

He tried. He came close. But he missed.

The backstory from 2010....

Man opens fire on officers, police sayPolice said Adrian Perryman, 48, fired several shots at the officersat a house in 1200 block of Magnolia around 2:30 a.m.

Police officers serving a warrant at a near North Side home dodged a bullet Tuesday morning - several, actually.

Police said Adrian Remedios Perryman, 48, fired multiple shots at officers after they entered his residence in the 1200 block of Magnolia around 2:30 a.m. with a narcotics search warrant in hand.

Officers in full uniform and detectives wearing raid gear with the word “police” on it yelled, “Police, search warrant!” as they entered the home, leaving no doubt about their identity, police said.

Nobody was injured. One bullet narrowly missed a detective’s left leg, piercing a pocket on his shorts, according to a police incident report. Perryman was apprehended seconds later, and has been charged with attempted capital murder of a police officer and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, the report states.

Police found methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and firearms - and two surveillance cameras outside the residence that had given warning of officers’ arrival in real time, the report states.

Perryman was in Bexar County Jail on bonds totaling $280,000, authorities said.

Thought experiment: If all that's required for it to be illegal to shoot at an intruder is for the intruder to yell "Police! Police! Police! We have a warrant!" as they break down the door, how can a law abiding homeowner defend his home when the criminals figure this out?

If it’s law enforcement of any kind and its wearing a helmet, if it’s not on a motorcycle, you are Not Guilty.

i’ve considered automated barrier systems that would stop any intruder if they got passed the doors.

of course, ‘they’ wouldn’t like it as it would serve as protection for the occupants

it also wouldn’t be overly attractive, depending on the layout. one design was a 2-3 floor home with the bottom level being circular and mainly serve as the garage and basement. once the home is ‘secured’, an inner wall would move into place. kind of like a can inside a can... whose openings match until you rotate the inner can.

might be a bit nutty, but it would definitely be more secure

Prosecutor Steve Spier argued it’s implausible that trained police officers would risk their lives and “have no regard for themselves” by failing to loudly proclaim who they are.

So what?? What's inconceivable is that you're so stupid that you think home invaders can't enunciate the word. And further, what's also inconceivable is that being that stupid, you STILL think we should care what you think about anything.

B...b...but did all the cops get home safe? That’s the important question.

Dear poh-lice,

The justice system worked, whether you liked it or not.

12 jurors have spoken, that you, the poh-lice, ain’t all that!

Why not arrest him in the day time when he is walking out of 7-Eleven with a slurpee? Or around noon when he wakes up and goes outside?

What is this fascination that cops have of late-night, break down the door, throw the flash-bang, shoot the dog raids??

Some actual police work before any “raid” to collect some actual evidence of the persons guilt would be nice, and some actual police work to confirm WHO is in the house, and making sure it is the right house would also be pretty nice.

I don’t think my standards are too high.

If he did shoot the sheriff, did he also shoot the deputy? - E.C.

police at the time reported finding methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and firearms in the home

Yeah, sure. They'd say the same thing if they accidentally Swatted a convent.

No know raids should be illegal in all but the most dire cases (ie murder in progress)
