It's a lot worse now. The punks calling cops "pigs" back then were angry that cops prevented them from committing the mayhem they wanted to do. Cops today (I refuse to call them "pigs") are unionized thugs who's entire life revolves around the concept of "getting home safe after work." This means they'll go out of their way to shake down relatively peaceful people, while making every effort to not see violent thugs beating and killing people, so as to avoid danger to themselves.
They have become "risk-averse." When in doubt, shoot the dog.
Add to that the abuse of steroids and excessive hardware like MRAPs, and you have a very dangerous gang, all with the approval of the State.
The reason for the raid was the suspects were ID’d for using one stolen credit card.
Yeah, credit card, like when the cops aren’t interested when YOUR credit card is stolen, but as it turns out, this credit card was stolen from a POLICE TRAINER, so it was a fun time to use all that DHS military equipment for the first time. Not likely to get much other practice in the upscale neighborhoods that are Ankeny, Iowa.
