This country is a police state. Just because you or I have not been attacked in our own homes doesn’t change that, we could be any day.
It’s a shame that the cop died, but no more so than the number of innocent people who are being killed in these raids. And even if some of these people have criminal records are they capital offenses? Because when they’re killed they are dead.
How many of these thousands of no-knock raids by SWAT teams every year are targeting people who are suspected of offenses that are capital offenses? I have yet to read of one. Most of the ones I read seem to be scummy informants getting paid to target people. Raids like this, based on the word of a single paid druggie informant are plain and simple criminal.
The small town next to mine in northern VT filed a formal complaint with the State over the heavy-handed tactics being employed by the State Police. They include many examples of abuse of authority, harassment and intimidation. You’re right, the country is becoming a police state.
