"If someone "bursts" in my door at this time of day I am wide awake, preparing to leave for work and armed. Cops would have been GD surprised. " ,/b>

Time to post...AS PUBLIC INFORMATION...the Pics and Vitals of the COPS Family Members.

I am NOT advocating VIOLENCE!!!

Just that 'community awareness' be promoted...AND, WHO KNOWS...

perhaps, just perhaps...

Some of these 'COPS are DIRTY!!!

Actually, after 5 years on the job...

I saw that too. Amazing isn't it. I mean, how friggin hard is it to pick the right house???? Dominoes delivery guys do it right all the damn time why not the cops?

Dominos guys get punished if they deliver to the wrong house...

My problem is, today it's OK to do it for all drug busts, tomorrow it may be for parking tickets or failure to appear. After all, it is always easiest (and safest) to assume there is armed menace lurking just inside every door.

The Drug War has already eaten out the core of justice and law enforcement in the U.S.

Snitches, plea bargains, no-knock raids, and overstuffed prisons are all a product of the Drug War. And it all means that the rest of crime gets lower priority and is handled sloppily. This is why leftists are having a field day with the Innocence Project - when cops and prosecutors are this sloppy and operate a system this compromised, of course it will produce injustice.

You don't have to be a "fan" of drug dealers (although the jackboot lickers will accuse you of it) to want a well-running criminal justice system that costs less.

So here we are on FR, the very archetype of the Republican demographic, and the Drug War takes another lickin' from people who, in Nixon's day, were voting for "law 'n order." If I were a cop, I'd be asking "Do I want to lose that constituency?"

Pathetic that it was pointed out or that it happened?

(my kid would probably know more about the "gun" than the cop anyway)

My kid would have shown them a disarm move to test their weapons retention skills.

Sounds like NYPD is going Looney-Tune!

Time for a State/Federal probe.

It won't take violence.

All it takes is letting cops, and their families, know what society thinks of no-knock raids, confisctions, etc. Cops should be fully exposed to community input.

I think cell phone cameras (instant pics, no film, and th epics can be sent to a Web site immediately) are going to make lots of JBTs famous.

Great. Statements like that, advocating revenge against family members, are another reason I can not support the anti WOD people here.

[headsonpikes]

I was being sarcastic.

Thank you for jumping down my throat. ;^)

What bothers me is that the laughably authoritarian perspective I displayed is seen as such a legitimate political view by so many that you took me seriously.

[headsonpikes]

"Heh."

I don't blame them for not showing up to once more defend the indefensible.

Would you?

[adam_az]

It all makes sense now!

You forgot your < sarcasm > tags ;)

No, you are fishing for reasons not to, waiting for one retard to make a comment you can disagree with to put off having to re-evaluate the cognitive dissonance between conservative principles and unconstitutional restriction of individuals.

[GirlShortstop]

Thank you for jumping down my throat. ;^)

I'm sorry that your gullet is now probably completely stretched out of shape.   ;^)

"From our armory and thru your door in 30 minutes or less, or your property back*!"

(Psst *We don't really give your property back, but it makes for a damn good slogan, doesn't it?)

[Hacksaw]

No, you are fishing for reasons not to, waiting for one retard to make a comment you can disagree with to put off having to re-evaluate the cognitive dissonance between conservative principles and unconstitutional restriction of individuals.

If I am indeed fishing, it is quite an easy catch.

"An NYPD spokesperson said that cops stand by their decision to raid the building, and noted that two simultaneous raids in the same neighborhood both uncovered drug dealing and led to seven arrests."

Translation: The ends justify the means.

Welcome to your police state, Amerika.

They do it so that the other guy doesn't have the chance to even think about firing back, making it safer for all concerned, both them and the suspects.

Must be why they used the grenade on the heart attack victim.

[American in Israel]

Dominos guys get punished if they deliver to the wrong house...

LOL!

I hate drugs. But it does seem that the in the drug war, the drugs won.

[LibKill]

This happens all the time and it stinks.

"Sorry, wrong address."

Pizza delivery drivers don’t usually watch a lot of “reality” cop shows.
Even though it’s far more dangerous to deliver pizza than a warrant, how often do we see delivery drivers armed to teeth wearing paramilitary uniforms?
