Too bad the thugs weren’t killed. The thugs being the no knock Gestapo home invaders that would rather believe one of their own kind, that is a common criminal.
I’m tired of hearing these “innocent mistake” stories. This no-knock SWAT abuse needs to stop.
Yikes!
Just wow.
No wonder home invaders yell “Police” to confuse the residents. If our Constitution had any influence, that wouldn’t work, because the police would rarely execute no-knock, SWAT type raids. Criminals yell “Police” because who can tell the difference anymore?
Militarized, violent dumbass cops strike again. Sadly, this man is dead and the lesson is clear: Own a high powered rifle, shoot first and keep your mouth shut. The police were as wrong as they could be, but the outcome is that they are alive and this poor man is dead. Better to be alive and in prison with a hope of being set free in the future.
A FOURTY FOUR HOUR HOME SEARCH FOR METH????? Why? was the quantity so high and potent, or were there 38 otherwise unoccupied officers out trying to impress the Chief? I don’t understand why so many officers were put onto this. Of course something like the IRS ‘lost’ emails don’t warrant this level of response ever.
It’s time to start firing cops and their supervisors and their supervisors supervisors and revoking all their pension rights. Maybe this kind of police misappropriation of public power and public trust will someday be diminished.
But I strongly believe that the key is to disconnect the evil doers and their incompetent supervisors and their incompetent supervisors supervisors from the gravy train of public largess. Nothing will get their attention like the mass revocation of pension plan status.
“Police searched the home for 44 hours and found no drugs.”
Like the guy anal probed over clenched butt cheeks, these pigs were desperate to justify their stupidity and excessive aggression.
Only a cop would take the word of a criminal, especially if it allowed them to strap on the battle rattle and play soldier. Thanks piglets, for showing more people how worthless your ‘profession’ is.
"We were sure you had meth, but you didn't! Here's your check for $200,000. Boy, my retirement fund took a real hit today. I guess I'll be more careful next time!"
It’s believable.
It’ll be even more believable later, because there will be zero consequences for the morons in law enforcement and the judicial system who did this.
If the cop who led this raid and the paper pusher who signed off on it get bankrupted and/or go to jail then it’s one thing, but dollars to donuts the taxpayers will pay and the neanderthals who authorised and executed this crime will skate.
Good cops are heroes. Bad cops need punished all the more severely because of it.
Oh well, he lived a good life and maybe his family will have a memorable funeral for him.
The main thing is the cops got enough meth to fill up a little match box, off the streets....
We are now all much safer.
Maybe he looked like a dog in the dark.
All part of Barack the Kenyan’s “fundamentally transformed” America. America isn’t a very friendly place anymore now that the Nazis and commies are running it.
I am not familiar with the case except for the details contained within this anti police article.
It looks like there was a warrant for the search. Also, the constitution does not mandate a knock on the door to accompany the warrant, so I don’t know why a no knock entry complaint was relevant.
Moral of the story: when cops have warrant for your house search, you cannot brandish weapons. Well, you can, but that would be suicide by cops.
JBTs in action.
The taxpayers should not pay for murder. It should be paid out of the police union accounts.
Hooks owns a construction company that does work on military bases and has passed background checks by state and federal authorities.
This is not a person who needs to be involved in criminal activity for financial gain. He did very well financially, Shook said.
These cops kill an upstanding citizen on a tip from a druggy car thief?
The judge who signed off on this unwarranted warrant should be impeached and removed from the bench for incompetence.
I don’t know why Georgians tolerate this kind of thing so much, but they do. From the Kathryn Johnston case (elderly woman murdered by officers during a “botched” and pointless drug raid) to the teen shot for holding a Wii controller in his own house to the flash-bang grenade thrown on top of a baby, Georgia seems to have many of the nation’s worse cases of police abuse.
