Much easier to CYA and obfuscate things AFTER the fact.
We need to stand up against this, NOW. Of all the other slippery slopes we've gone down, this one is a bad one.
I suppose you think the cops should not respond to 911 calls?
The “Why” is there, and the Need is there (The need to stand up against it).. but I can’t figure out the “How”.
Like I said, even today in areas where the 4th amendment is protected - -How- does one wield this right ? How do we practice it ?
If the police were to show up at my door now, it’s important (For many reasons) to maintain a semblance of respect (Don’t give them a reason to get angry, just like being invaded by criminals) and to remain calm. It’s also a good idea to express your unwillingness to comply, and your knowledge of law to continue to press them to keep up their end of the bargain (Do you have a warrant?)
But certain scenarios demand the police to come in, guns pointed. Even if it’s not “fair” or “Legal”, there is a chance that police could bust down my door (I live on a street with drug-dealing houses and gang-inhabited houses). My neighbor is even a shady guy with his hands in both narcotics and tail-end human trafficking. If this happens, do I pull my gun ?
You know what’ll happen if I pull my gun ? I MAY take a few out, but they WILL immediately fire on me. If I speak sternly ? I’ll be ignored. Myself, my family, and even my cats may be tasered. We may be roughed up. Anything we do or say won’t work - because we can’t just announce “I didn’t do nothin’ wrong!” They won’t stop. I will go away in cuffs.
It’s not a good idea to resist ANY form of the law coming into my home un-announced or otherwise asked to leave. There is no viable option here.
If these raids occur at night, god help them - because I don’t turn on lights before squeezing a trigger. I don’t have to. There should be, under no circumstances, a group of people in my home raiding it. My area has had several criminal home invasions this year. I’m not stopping at a threat.
When it comes to questioning the 2nd amendment, I know the “How”. I know what it takes to protect the 2nd amendment. But this ? I have no idea how to defend it.
