Federal judge: Drinking tea, shopping at a gardening store is probable cause
Washington Post ^ | December 28, 2015 | Radley Balko

Posted on 12/29/2015 6:06:30 PM PST by Twotone

In April 2012, a Kansas SWAT team raided the home of Robert and Addie Harte, their 7-year-old daughter and their 13-year-old son. The couple, both former CIA analysts, awoke to pounding at the door. When Robert Harte answered, SWAT agents flooded the home. He was told to lie on the floor. When Addie Harte came out to see what was going on, she saw her husband on his stomach as SWAT cop stood over him with a gun.

If you are so anti-police that you don't want to know about Balko's paid far-left per-disposition to make America look as bad as he can

Pay attention - EVERY story about this raid makes the police look bad.

The more you engage in off-topic rants about Radley on this thread, the dumber you look. Feel free to continue.

The author, Radley Balko, is a far-leftist radical paid pro-all drug legalization "writer" who has had materiel pulled from the TV networks due to lies.

What work I've read of his is meticulously documented and sourced. My take is that the process of research jaded him so much to the drug war that such is how his opinion now appears.

I went above and beyond by trying at all - in the forum of reasoned debate, the burden of proof lies with the one making the claim (lest debate degenerate into an exchange of unsupported claims and counterclaims).

Time for you to put up or shut up - or be known for a fool.

Maybe some Thorazine rather than the decaf.....

And it doesn’t bother you that *he* is more concerned about a government seizing government control and authority via the “war on drugs” than you, who presumably self identify as conservative?

So tell me, would you defend the police even if they released a police dog on a seventeen month old girl?

Had you read my posts, you would realize they were never about the drug raid or it’s foolishness.

My posts were about Balko.

Please reread.

You made unsubstantiated accusations about him and failed to back them up while dodging direct questions.

If you have been following Balko for years, you would know about him. Do your own homework. I’m not going to do it for you, and most importantly, stop believing every wolf in sheep’s clothing who calls himself a conservative.

How many drugs that would have killed people were taken off the street.

Better a hundred innocent people have their homes raided and their dogs shot than a junkie die from an OD.

That is where I find this confusing. They can dig through the trash, but in most cases wouldn’t that mean they’d have to trespass onto your property?

Once that trash can gets to the curb on pick-up day, totally different matter.

The person who makes the claim is responsible for sourcing the claim.

You merely wish to claim anything you like without taking personal and intellectual responsibility for it.
