If true the police officers should be fired. But who knows if this even happened.
This is why police need to be recorded on tape even more so than citizens. The should identify themselves immediately if the knock without any warrant.
That seems to be the current cop paradigm of late.
Dad was NYPD and retired in the late 60s. A few months before his retirement he went to protect a lady operating a hot dog cart from a normally tied up German Shepherd who broke the rope and was hungry for hot dogs. He put himself between the woman and the dog. the dog, A big one jumped up paws on dad’s chest, dad lost balance, fell backward put his hand out to stop his fall and broke his wrist bones in 11 places. The dog never bit him. The dog was corralled by the owner and was never destroyed. It never bit any one. He would only have drawn his gun if it appeared the dog was vicious. He said many times he wouldn’t have shot the dog. Might have used different strategy but not shot the dog.
Yeah, it’s hard to know who to believe when it’s the word of a lawyer versus the cops. Sad to say, I’m beginning to lean towards the lawyers.
Why aren’t the threats illegal? Shouldn’t they be?
When it involves shooting dogs, I’m with the lawyers every time.
Imho, yes.
What happened to the hot dogs?
What happened to Officer Friendly?
Ask yourself who has more motivation to lie.
And ask yourself why it is not illegal for government employees to threaten a private citizen in such a way in Missouri. That should concern you.
Officer Safety was assured (TM).
One law for thee, another for he.
For you, threatening government employees in such a manner is illegal.
For the Knights of the Realm of Missouri....
I hate to say it, but given how aggressive and militarized police departments have become in recent years, I believe the guy over the cop.
I agree that he ought to have recorded the encounter, but since he was expecting that criminals were about to raid his home, he can be forgiven for reaching for a crowbar before a cell phone or other recording device.
Nothing else matters.
“Why aren’t the threats illegal? Shouldn’t they be?”
I feel the same. Seems like a terroristic threat to me...

And, his house has a major target on it now.
They morphed into dachshunds.
