Maybe congress and the senate?
Bass turds!
No one can condone what the SWAT team did you to and your family. However, I do not understand what that has to do with the apparel that the police use in a riot control situation.
Yes and those dreaded “assault weapons” they are carrying.
This situation has really brought out the Stormfront kooks.
give every law-abiding man in America an AR-15 and 100 rounds, and bring back the Bobbies....
And which party controlled Congress and the Presidency during much of the early-mid 2000s?
Sorry, but I have never seen police in military combat gear in the general public, nor have I seen police routinely driving military-style vehicles around town - they are usually driving Crown Vic’s and other very pedestrian models.
Of course,you could be thinking about SWAT teams, which most medium to large departments have. But those are very small, specialized units rarely deployed, but have been around for many decades.
Where have YOU been?
The RINO branch of The Big Government Party
Then the Batshit Crazy Lunatic Left branch of The Big Government Party booted them out and took over.

Where have you been? SWAT raids are at 80k a year now, over some of the most minor stuff. You might want to start watching that activity.
You said this was dial an argument.
No I did not.
You did...
I'm telling you, I did not!
You did too..
Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
Ah, just the five minutes.
Just the five minutes. Thank you.
Anyway, I did.
You most certainly did not!

I couldn’t agree MORE!
The most INSANE thing in what is supposed to be a free country is “no knock” warrants with militarized SWAT teams.
“No knock” is ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL! (4th Amendment)
The ability of social workers to take action without a court finding is ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL.
The police who dress up in combat gear do so to intimidate citizens. They also do it because they get a thrill out of putting on a costume that gives them license to do things they’d never do in a regular uniform. Not at all unlike the anarchists who put on black masks and then do things they’d never do if people could see their faces.
But do you advocate on the behalf of police state? Either way call the moderator!
Hey butt kisser, show them this http://www.infowars.com/swat-team-claims-they-were-helping-in-tear-gassing-of-journalists/
Can’t stand Cop Suckers.
While I generally support the LEO community, I do not support their desire to make decisions as to who and who should or “may” have a weapon.
None of their business generally.
They are constantly looking to undermine my BoR’s, Looking for new opportunities to make contact with citizens, lobbying for laws that really are already on the books and bar criminals from certain activities.
Wearing a seat belt is a good idea but, it should not be actionable and when they started they said it wouldn’t be used as a primary for contacting. Further, I don’t believe there should be a law demanding a citizen comply for something that really, really doesn’t affect another person from personal responsibility perspective.
Same with cell phones. If you can’t drive and focus on your primary responsibility - safety 1st, then maybe you shouldn’t be driving.
My parents drove with 6 of us in the car and they never got into an accidentally.
Probably, because if my Dad had to pull over because we weren’t being quiet and not listening to his voice well, it usually wasn’t a good thing...
Cops shouldn’t have exclusivity for weapons and armament, much less how many rounds you can store or the number of rounds you can fit in to a magazine.
One picture on this thread shows a DEA agent with his buddies.
He has a 30 round mag taped to another 30 round mag, so he can easily and quickly reload by simply moving the attached magazine over.
Finally, sovereign immunity and limited immunity need to be changed to force a change in behavior from LEO community.
If they can’t objectively be held to the same standard as any Joe Citizen, then they are no longer servants, so much as they are caretakers, who can exercise restraint or not depending on how their day is going.
You are proof of that.
Sticks and stones...
This is not a racial problem.
It is in Ferguson! Whiter people don’t act like savages bent on lawlessness.
