Slaton police came to this woman's house, who wishes to remain anonymous, to arrest her son. But by asking one simple question, she found herself behind bars instead.
"I told him, 'I will release my son to you upon viewing those orders.' Those were exactly my words," The complainant said. "He said, 'This is how you want to play?' He took two steps back, turned around to the officer and said, 'Take her.' They turned me around, handcuffed me, and took me in."
The complainant said she was aware police would be coming to apprehend her 11-year-old son based on a criminal complaint, and that she just wanted to see the warrant. As it turns out, that warrant didn't exist. She spent the night in jail while her son was left at home.
"He told me it was their duty to come pick up my son," She said. "Yet, I had someone stay the night at my house. They never came back that evening, they never came to pick up my son, or do what they told me they were there to do in the beginning."

She can consider herself very, very fortunate that they did not shoot her or at least beat the hell out of her.
The trouble is they are being trained to be aggressive. Also they are take the lower IQ score tests.
This is a very gentle version of what Terrorism actually is. It is not the attacks of an enemy no matter how heinous and horrendous. It is not political opposition, no matter how violent. Terrorism or The Terror is state sponsored random violence against the people, random taking of citizens for no sensible reason or for reason that they are some sort of “enemies of the State.” It is random execution of citizens or sending of citizens off to forced labor institutions as slaves for no sensible reason. Terror is violence directed by a government against its own subjects/citizens for the purpose of making trust impossible so that opposition to the government cannot form. No one knows why people are taken or killed thus they must suspect that anyone can be informing to the “organs.”
You bring up an interesting point. When I met my wife she lived in a small midwestern town. A lot of the local teen and pre-teen males were having ridiculous run-in’s with the local sheriff’s deputies over nit issues. I mean police brutality stuff.
But my wife sais, that it is what you expect when you have guys in their early 20’s with almost no training making minimum wage, and then hand them a Glock and a badge.
You avoided the police there if at all possible.
She should sue the bejesus out of them.
Was there a warrant or not, and if there was one, did they or did they not produce it?
CASE CLOSED. Sue the city and the cops involved should be terminated immediately.
Good to see people thinking for themselves and resisting LE when they have no authority.
Also, minorities (esp) don't want to get tangled with law enforcement, even though some wrongs were done to them.
End result is the police becoming more and more tyrannical, and we live in a more or less police state. Constitution and our rights be damned.
This is hyperbole but just slightly.
The police are the best dressed street gang there is.
Thank you sir for defending the brave police officers in this case. the woman shoud have been shot on the spot for daring to question her masters. This pesky fact, that at thepoint in time they were there to take the child in custody as authorized by a warrant, no warrant existed is beside the point. These were brave officers of the law and she had better respect their authority. Another reason they should have shot her on the spot. And all they did was take her to jail. And yet she has the gall to complain. Talk about ungratefulness! She is a textbook study about it. Who does this woman think she is? An American citizen? Again, thank you for defending the police. In previous threads of this nature, the cops-can-do-no wrong crowd, a/k/a jackboot lickers have been lax, but you have atoned for their slackness.
Right now on Drudge you can read the story of an 11year-old facing a year in jail for wearing an NRA T-shirt to school and refusing to remove it.
It’s not that hard to be a criminal in a police state.
She does not know how easy she got off for sure. I would get the hell out of their before they changed their mind and came back and/or I had an “accident”.

I have a close relative that works for a Sheriff’s Department. They are also well paid, He/she has told us, (the Family), that the Deputies and the detectives are a bunch of “bullies”. Mind you it’s one person’s opinion. But it does make you wonder, a lot. Especially since my relative has been working there for over twenty years.
You are right. It is human nature that we learn best from the most painful and or expensive lessons. Law enforcement will only learn to take our rights seriously if cases where they don’t cost them significant pain. Sue the department for enough to make them feel it, and terminate the officers involved. This goes beyond the usual screw up that would just mean an administrative punishment. Need to set an example for remaining officers. The lady should think about a civil suit against the guys too.
The individuals involved should lose whatever total net worth they own.
Here’s one of those sheriff’s departments:

They should be charged with kidnapping.
I feel that the night in the slammer must have produced some type of long term duress and or mental disorder requiring BIG $$$$ to correct.
Go big or go home these types of incidents need big time attnys requesting obscene settlements which will in turn screw up these small towns bottom line.
You forgot the set of Barbells and steroids.
