swatters gone apecrap
The only way to stop this is to retaliate against all involved every time it happens. The law no longer protects us.
Life in prison without Parole for the whole Bunch of them, including ALL Persons responsible for ordering this raid. Welcome to the Police State. Sad thing is, I dont expect this sort of thing here in AZ, when I am in Ca, it is expected but not here.
So they do a dynamic entry and shoot the guy who thinks someones breaking in?
Hmmm, lots more to this story. If he was involved in dealing then the cops were in the right. If it was the wrong house, yet again, then they have some serious questions to be answered.
As for him not getting medical care, it’s standard proceedure that the site must be cleared out and declared safe before paramedics are allowed inside.
Unless there is more to this story than is being told, I gotta say “If you point an AR-15 at me, I’m taking you down.” We can’t have ROE here like we do with our military. That’s how our guys die in the Middle East.
Sounds like they were looking for some sort of 'ring' whether it be a drug ring or some other type, I'm not sure.
Who signed off on this warrant? What was the evidence?
And let's remember, folks, that there are a lot of bad people in the military. Especially once they get out. There are bad cops, as well, to be sure but they didn't go looking to kill this guy.
This has ruined my day and this poor widow and childrens lives.
Somebody needs to pay for this awful mistake. The no knock warrants and SWAT teams have got to go. I don't care if they flush the evidence, we have to have our rights back.
America needs to get fed up with militaristic police forces. Our tolerance of tyranny is breathtaking.
Something stinks here...that’s for sure....
Did they get the dog?
The next time a cop points a gun at someone everyone else should mow the bastard down. It is what cops do.
Everytime I hear something like this, I wonder how people would react if it was portrayed honestly in an old Western movie. The Sheriff shows up with a posse of 12 men, armed and with scarves over their faces. They knock once on the door, then kick it in. The "bad guy" is crouched behind the bed, his girlfriend and her children are hiding in a nearby closet. The Sheriffs posse begins shooting as soon as they see the man, knowing that he will be armed because well, who isn't armed in their own house, with the possibility of Indians, or thieves (read Indians or bank robbers). They then drag the girlfriend from the scene with her arms severely twisted behind her back, tearing a rotator cuff (most common injury), and watch as the "bad guy" dies. They laugh and brag that their shot was the deadly one. Sheriff, instead of looking at the men with a sad look as in the old Western, reassures them that they did the right thing. The judge helps with the coverup, as well as the local newspaper editor. After all, this guy was "BAD".
71 shots fired?
One suspect?
IDIOTS.
Probally lucky that they did not shoot one of their own.
Somebody is damned sure lying.
My bet is it’s the cops.
Their story just doesn’t sound right.
They claim to have shouted “Police” and responded with lights and sirens. When did any police force ever do that when they serve these warrants. Other warrants were served round the neighborhood with the same noise and these people didn’t hear it.
They expected the small kid and the mother to be gone when they got there? BS.
The story just isn’t right.
When your only tool is a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail.
Swat teams are trained for “action” when facing an enemy weapon firing or not. Get off the backs of law-enforcement and the military they are not trained to put a hand up and shout.....are you going to fire?
Justice is blind.. and so, apparently is the legal system in this country as well..
another victim of WoD? or just a poor soul caught up in the middle of law enforcement making another community safer for all of us.. except those who own weapons and seek to protect their families against all comers.
RIP Marine
They fired 71 shots and guy was still alive when they were done. A little more target practice and they won't miss the kid next time either.
Not that you should go around pointing guns at cops, or not drop them when directed. But 71 round to zero? You can get spend less rounds in a short firefight in Afghanistan.
