Bottom line is that the cops will do anything to protect one of their own.
If you think 1% bikers will ‘close ranks for a brother’, you ain’t seen nothin’.
I’m finally proud to live in The Freak State.
Now I can quote legal precedence.
This is so unnecessary. Why is this happening? Why is it OK?
I find it disturbing and disgusting. I have 4 dogs which act aggressive when a stranger comes in the house or our yard. I am sure they would be kill bait for a trigger happy policeman.
Every one of my dogs are gentle with no bite history. This scares me to no end.
Shoot a police dog? How about the tin stars and their pea brains leaving the police dogs to die inside the cop cars? Then the dead dogs are just written off as disposable taxpayer property.
“they would lead the charge to prosecute the offenders within their ranks “
If they did that and took steps to stop the trigger happy serial killer wannabees in their ranks I’d have no problem with them, but they hide behind that “Blue Line” Us-Against-Them nonsense.
***** “For a cop to take this much initiative over a ladder, that’s either a flimsy cover story, or the ladder belonged to a friend of the cop.” *****
Ding Ding Ding ... We have a Winner!

How far off are we?

I agree. Pre-1973, this couldn't happen in America. I read somewhere that, in WWII, half the soldiers IN COMBAT just fired over the enemies' heads. They couldn't bring themselves to kill a man. Now, we have these "officer safety" thug stories all over the country.
Again!? These guys are out of control! Brown shirt nation!
When I was in the military the training routine was if you flunked out they made you a cook or a cop.
“WHY ARE THE POLICE SO OFTEN GOING TO THE WRONG ADDRESS.”
When I was 17-18 I had a job delivering pizzas. Never went to the wrong address.
Later I had a job delivering flowers. Never went to the wrong address.
This was well before GPS. I had a map. That was it.
Recently our little community passed a new ordinance requiring bigger streeet numbers be affixed to the house, so emergency response could more easily find an address.
I have not seen anyone comply. I think it is just cover for incompetence. They can come back and say “we told you to put bigger numbers in front.”
Perhaps not... I am astute and patient enough to only strike when I have an opening, however long it might take to get a clear one. And I will only need one chance...
“I am astute and patient enough to only strike when I have an opening, however long it might take to get a clear one. And I will only need one chance...”
Or, as I like to say, “You’ll be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your short life.”
Your willing assistance to get the officers around Constitutional protections speaks of your own lack of regard for the document.
This is why you are desperately trying to divert the subject.
Look, thinking its better for innocent people to be shot by the police raiding the wrong house than for someone to provide them the correct address is SICK!
Yes. It gives them time to contemplate the consequences of their poorly thought-out actions...
It’s happening far too often to be explained away by incompetence.
The police officers who go to the “wrong houses” are doing so because they expect they will receive no backlash for doing so.
And don’t worry, *next* time they’ll get the right address.
Besides, the ladder thief might have (gasp) shot AT our blue uniformed ‘hero’. A law-abiding citizen minding his own business and not on the alert for a trigger happy officer?
Easy prey.

“Easy prey.”
I once had a nice long conversation at my front door with a cop who had the wrong address. He never suspected that the hand he couldn’t see had a .44 magnum in it.
Where did you ever get such an insane idea? I don't know who is dumber. You for posting this nonsense, or the dog worshiping Altariel who apparently believes it.
