Already happening in Tucson.
Stinking fiends
Our “protect and defenders” need to immediately implement a policy that there will be no more forced night entry unless it involves life and death apprehension of a known murderer or kidnapper.
Going after American citizens based upon false information provided by druggy stooges is an outrage. It contradicts everything that we base our society upon from “protect and serve” to the castle doctrine. In the dead of night most of us law abiding armed citizens don’t expect to be attacked or broken into, and will if our doors or windows are breached will shoot first and ask questions later. There is no act of law enforcement worth putting innocent Americans at risk.
As a law abiding citizen without even traffic points, if my home is broken into in the dead of night I’m going to use any means at my disposal to take down those that have entered. They will take heavy fire and I will depend upon my friends and relatives to defend my reputation afterwards.
If you pay attention to the daily news you almost have to conclude that these are NOT "rogue cops." It is SOP now.
That's what they already do in Atlanta. Cost the city a few dollars, but the elderly lady is still dead.
Civil forfeiture was about many things, but part of it really was also INCENTIVIZATION —if the cops could benefit in some material way from a bust, they’d be energized.
Let’s accept that for just a second:
Why do we NOT incentivize things on the NEGATIVE side?
After they terrorize taxpayers, the people who pay for those errors are.....OTHER taxpayers (who pay for the suit).
Why should incentives work just ONE way? If the cops know OTHER people pay for their error, what incentive do they really have to avoid such errors?
This has been going on for years. They need to be bonded, or put personal assets up as collateral, or consent to have their wives beat up in public, nude —SOMETHING.
There are plenty of good cops but bad cops are now having to pay NOTHING for eggregiously bad behavior.
If a person punches a police horse or dog, then legally it’s the same as punching a policeMAN.
Why, then, are “civvy dogs” then treated as LAB RATS?
Union brown shirts.
Looks to me as if you are straining to find an excuse for the out-of-control doughnut eaters. Nothing involved in this situation justifies, excuses, or mitigates what they did. For all you know, this was a hit on the wrong address. But even if they found a house with a stolen x-box, it certainly would not excuse or justify this level of violence.
Yep, and this is why a good team does surveillance independent of the source’s information as well as all the other database checks.
End the WOD and alot less grannies get slammed and dogs get shot.
I still have the book “1984” that I once read many years go, but 1984 is here and gone and I suspect it will get worse unless we change it regardless of the politics.
The tree of liberty is not just a phrase. We’re losing our liberties every day while Americans are bending over in gratitude and politicians are sticking it to us telling us we as a society are doing better. Wrong. They are doing better, not society.
I despise what has happened to the country in the last 10 years. Many Americans have worn a uniform to defend and protect our liberties. We need to continue. See the Oathkeepers.
The two warrants is a bit of a give away. You can not behave that way looking for an X-box, it can not be flushed. But drugs can be so they lied about drugs to justify their behavior. [This is why the courts were wrong to allow no knock warrants and other violations of the Constitution.
My only question is whether the second drug warrant was actually made up after the fact to justify their behavior.
They are becoming regular dog murderers.
This “civil incentive” is what should bother us all. It doesn’t end with drug busts.
With private prisons and corporations running law enforcement and photo cameras they will go after the $$$$$ at the expense of justice. Towns like Chevy Chase Village MD pay their fat cat police with super nice facilities and compensation at the expense of the out of town public who regularly gets robbed by their corporate owned 30mph speed cameras in zones with open 4 lane highways, with broad media strips that should be 45mph.
When the profit incentive enters law enforcement we the taxpayers are screwed. Judges in PA were taking kickbacks from private prisons owners to sentence and convict young people for their profit. They got sent to jail but most are not. Google: PA judges private prison.
It was an odd bit of reporting to say that the police were looking for legal and illegal drugs. In any event, I think you are right.
there was a time when strong entry was reserved for known armed felons, not anymore... whats next too many parking tickets???
There’s something about police officers that I just don’t like—and my only encounters have been with traffic tickets. They’re essentially bullies who love to flout their authority and push people around.
I would bet that police departments hire them for that very reason.
By obamao's 3rd term this will be a commonplace event for things ranging from overdue parking tickets to discovery that you were formerly a registered republican...
By his 4th term all will be quiet...
POST OF THE DAY!!!
Especially love this line: “They need to be bonded, or put personal assets up as collateral, or consent to have their wives beat up in public, nude —SOMETHING.”
Damn right!!!
Every cop involved, every prosecutor involved, every judge involved, should be publicly identified. With full addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc.
