Family ripped from their home at gunpoint; Police storm the property looking for terrorists
Live Leak ^ | April 20, 2013 | Staff

Posted on 04/22/2013 5:56:56 PM PDT by LucyT

Friday, April 19, 2013, during a manhunt for a bombing suspect, police and federal agents spent the day storming people's homes and performing illegal searches. While it was unclear initially if the home searches were voluntary, it is now crystal clear that they were absolutely NOT voluntary. Police were filmed ripping people from their homes at gunpoint, marching the residents out with their hands raised in submission, and then storming the homes to perform their illegal searches.

This was part of a larger operation that involved total lockdown of the suburban neighbor to Boston. Roads were barricaded and vehicle traffic was prohibited. A No-Fly Zone was declared over the town. People were "ordered" to stay indoors. Businesses were told not to open. National Guard soldiers helped with the lockdown, and were photographed checking IDs of pedestrians on the streets. All the while, police were performing these disgusting house-to-house searches.

What do you believe should have happened to a home/citizen who did not voluntarily comply? Can you prove all were voluntary? What do you believe is acceptable action by the police if someone did not comply?

Legitimate concerns. If folks don’t like our public policies they need to change them. But let’s make these judgments based on reality, not on knee-jerk government-hating nonsense and ignorance of the law.

Existent circumstances amount to there being no question a judge would sign a warrant for the search, but circumstances preclude actually taking the time to get one. The application for a warrant can be made later if demanded, and S will HTF if a judge decides against approval thereof.

Declaring “he’s here somewhere in this city” doesn’t cut it, especially when he’s discovered outside the vast search area.

Well, it isn’t a matter of what I want. It’s a matter of what the law is and what therefore had to guide law enforcement.

Some individuals were in fear because they couldn't or wouldn't defend themselves.

****** “I am anti government doing what it ought not. But I am pro government doing what it ought. That’s why I stand with the people of Watertown, Massachusetts in applauding law enforcement for successfully defending innocent human life and restoring the security they need to live peacefully in their community.” *****

Do you write Speeches for Obama?

I tell my clients never open the door to the police and exigent circs won’t do it. Get a warrant based on information

You avoided answering my question - I want to understand what your opinion is.

I don’t think so. I think the criteria is whether or not there is an immediate threat that must be dealt with. Course I’m not a lawyer.

But, you can be sure that plenty of lawyers were in on the setting of the policies that dictated the actions of law enforcement in Watertown.

Sounds like a Red Coat comment made a few years back.

Diversion and evasion are tools of deceit Mr. EV.

No. They were applauding because they knew the thugs were either dead or in custody.

I’ll unlike your fancy pages and encourage my friends to do the same.

Aw shucks, EV. I can do better than that.

I'll drop you from my ping list.
