"I am in pain and moderate shock from what just happened which I am trying to write about. It is 4 am and I am still not calmed down enough to sleep! Tonight 6-10+ male Law enforcement Officers in heavy body armor broke into my home and did much destruction. I am injured, but do not know how bad."

That is the beginning of a Facebook post that I received late Wednesday / early Thursday morning. The post came from Tim Manning a 62-year-old pastor who resides in Kernersville, NC. Manning states that he was on the phone with his mother when:

"They busted-in my front door of this $300,000+ home and busted-in a set of rear French doors. Then they set a diversionary explosive grenade in...."

Very interesting article NOT making the news. According to his Facebook page, this preacher man is Founder of The Southern Partisan Reader and Founder/Exec.Dir of North Carolina Heritage Foundation. Interesting indeed.

Real Terrorism is a government policy of random raids and disappearances mixed with hits on perceived “enemies of the State” designed to keep the population off guard and cowed. The ever escalating number of SWAT raids on “wrong addresses” and for unpaid bills and the like appear to be that sort of thing in utero.

The article pretty clearly says they were after his son, not him. The son lived at the house. Better wait for the full story before firing up the conspiracy theories.

Man, he is whiny. And his son, who lives with him, was pretending to be a cop which is why the house was raided.

The only information from the media that I was able to obtain about this incident was a story published in the Winston-Salem Journal on May 2′d:

A Forsyth County bondsman was arrested Wednesday on a charge of impersonating a state insurance officer, authorities said Thursday.

Christopher David Manning, 24, of 160 Longbridge Drive in Kernersville, was charged with impersonating a law-enforcement officer, a misdemeanor, the N.C. Department of Insurance said in a statement.

Investigators with the Insurance Department accused Manning, a licensed bail bondsman, of attempting to enter the Forsyth County Hall of Justice on April 18 and conduct business while impersonating an insurance officer, the Insurance Department said. Authorities arrested Manning in Greensboro on Wednesday, the Insurance Department stated. Manning was released from custody on a written promise to appear court.

For the record, Christopher Manning is Tim Manning’s son and lives at his father’s residence in Kernersville, NC. I was able to contact Tim Manning and get a few questions answered:

Sheriff’s official response:

“I’m not allowed to give out any information about that”.

“THAT” means there is a specific incident she is prohibited from commenting on.

THAT means it happened.

[expat2]

That’s possible, but I think it is more likely that the SWAT teams are itching to use their new military equipment that they now have in escess. To a man with a hammer in his hand, everything looks like a nail-head......

[tioga]

Why was Homeland Security involved?

[Politicalmom]

A SWAT team for a MISDEMEANOR.

We’re doomed.

[RWGinger]

I think I will will for my verifiable information.
It could be true or there could be important facts left out of this report.

one comes to mind
so he is a pastor and head of something but is unemployed?

Facts will come out and if it is as he related people will help him

I am in pain and moderate shock from what just happened

So hire a lawyer and sue in Federal Court for $5-$10 million for violating your civil rights. If you are right, you will no doubt collect at least something. What the hell, that's what everybody else does, why not you?

I was once a subscriber. Have not thought about it in years.

Please tell me you are being ironic.

PLEASE.

Even if you were serious, LIE TO ME.

I do not want to think that people who purport to revere the Constitution would describe someone who was absolutely violated as 'whiney'.

“pretending to be a cop”

You might want to read the entire article.

“My son is a Security Bondman AND a NC State Fugitive Recovery Agent”
They took Christopher’s badge from his room and had sworn to the judge signing the Federal Search Warrant that “Christopher does not work for the State of North Carolina.” Man are they in for a rude awakening. The Federal Search Warrant was obtained through giving false information to a Federal judge by the Deputy.

They busted-in my front door of this $300,000+ home and busted-in a set of rear French doors. Then they set a diversionary explosive grenade in....

Is that all necessary in order to serve a warrant to arrest someone for impersonating an LEO???

[driftdiver]

So his son broke the law which means the cops can put the lives of numerous others at risk?

[don-o]

You go Laz! This one absolutely passes the smell test.

He doesn’t have a “badge”. That’s one of those fake badges carried by bail bondsmen. He doesn’t work for the state. He’s like Dog The Bounty Hunter. He was arrested for pretending to be a real cop.
