Mac daddy just found out about this from the news paper and is mad as he**.
After the VA reviews this problem and issues its report mac daddy will make a decision.
Relax, what could go wrong and would mac daddy lie?
Oh wait, never mind.
Its taken 3 years for this story to see the light of day. It sure appears that the VA did in fact get away with it. Only one willing witness, and memories fade. It’s pretty doubtful that there’s any physical evidence left, and I’ll bet the surveillance video has long ago been erased or recorded over.
Surveillance video from 3 years ago? -doubtful. Probably was destroyed or erased a long time ago.
Have you ever heard of Fort Detrick?
The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal and refused to hear the case of a man in Texas who was SWAT teamed by police in a ‘no-knock’ raid, under the justification that he was a registered gun owner.
A lower court had originally ruled that police acted within the law when they entered John Quinn’s house unannounced on the suspicion that he had legally-owned firearms in his possession.
By refusing to grant a petition for certiorari on the ruling, the Supreme Court has essentially sanctioned the notion that police need not abide by the Fourth Amendment if they suspect there are firearms in a person’s home. The refusal to hear the case also upholds significant intrusions on Second Amendment rights.
This is indeed chilling, depending on circumstances.
If they entered via a no-knock warrant on the suspicion the individual was involved with a violent crime and had firearms, the decision makes sense.
If not, it does not.
It also creates the interesting situation if police use a no-knock warrant and the resident blows their butts away as they are entering. Again, the court decision in such a case would probably depend on the nature of the individual’s criminal or non-criminal status and the reason for the no-knock entry.
It would seem that any entrance under a no-knock warrant presents significant threats for the officers involved.
NatC is how they say NAZI in my neck of the woods.
They seem to be acting like the O.G.s (Original Gruppen), the einsatzgruppen.
Well, isn’t that a coinky-dink!
Yeah you are right ... ignorant question.
