So, who was the SWAT Team leader and who are the rest of the chain of command?
I would not be surprised if it goes all the way back to Dupnik
I don’t care about who the SWAT team leader was, or the chain of command. That question pretends that these raids don’t go on all across the fruited plain. No knock warrants by militarized Police.
I blame silly voters for giving up liberty for safety.
I blame feckless voters for providing virtually unlimited funding to Police.
I blame foolish voters who reward federal level politicians for funneling federal dollars into local P.D.’s.
I blame judges who extend more and more special protections to LE.
I blame judges who ignore the 4th amendment, and hate the 2nd.
I blame judges who’s only standard for writing a search warrant is: Just ASK!
I blame individual cops, many of them ex military who took an oath to “protect and defend the constitution” who spend their days and nights training to trick people into abrogating their 4th and 5th amendment rights. I blame individual cops who took the oath who crash down doors in the middle of the night because a snitch who is rewarded for snitching, snitches. I blame officer friendly for participating in clearly unconstitutional no knock raids. Unless these people are stupid, they KNOW what they are doing is wrong it makes no difference what the courts say.
I hold individuals responsible for their actions. That’s right. Officer friendly, when you enforce seat belt ordinances in localities you are perpetuating Federalism run a muck, and yes I hold you personally responsible.
How?
I will vote to de-fund you at every opportunity. That means sales tax increases and extensions. That means property tax milliages. I will do everything I can at every opportunity to convince others of the brutish, stupid, authoritarian nature of Police and LE in this country.
I will vote for any politician that wants to weaken your institution.
If I see officer friendly getting his clock cleaned on the side of the road, I keep on driving. Sucks to be you.
