A former student was involved in something like this. He and couple of friends found a lost police officer’s badge. They then used it to “raid” a local dope dealer hoping to find money & drugs. Ended up killing their target, his mother, & his brother. Triple murder. Leader of the group got the needle, the two younger ones got 45 years. He’ll be getting out in 10 or 15 years. He was 20 when sentenced and will be 65 when released.

Black on black. This will not be widely reported. Not news-worthy.

And he does not really discuss how actual police discovered they were not DEA.

It’s not a real news article though. Closer to a blog.

This is the same guy (Weingarten) who posted that “2A empathy” crap article the other day, missing that that author’s whole point was to manipulate the public against 2A supporters.

Not very impressed with Weingarten...

““Police officers have been killed when they have attempted to serve warrants without sufficient notice-——”

-

Just curious,I know nothing about serving warrants-——what would be considered sufficient notice?

A call?

Again,I have no agenda here I just wasn’t aware that notice had to be given in advance.

This illustrates a growing problem of criminals impersonating law enforcement officers to gain an advantage over their victims.

How is this behavior any different from what the BLM did at Bunkerville? Or what ATF and the FBI did at Ruby Ridge, Waco, or Oregon?

How is this behavior any different from that of the agents who took Elian Gonzalez?

Our federal "law enforcement" agencies act like this anyway. It's perfect cover for criminals who see the "real" agents getting away with it and want in on the action.

Not a lawyer but I think they can get no-knock entry authority under certain circumstances...that’s where the problems usually occur. But normally they should knock, announce their office and present the warrant. Y

Thank you——I was unaware of the “no knock” warrant.

Sufficient notice is a knock on the door and sufficient time for a person to respond.

The courts have not defined what sufficent time would be.

Very common here in SW PA especially if someone has dogs.

That said, Aliquippa has gone downhill since Joe Namath left.

It strikes me as being kind of odd that the house and yard are fenced in.

You own dogs? SMall children? Neighbor’s dogs are a nuisance? Aggressive other children? I have fenced my house and yard in under those circumstances.

Nosy neighbors and dogs who don’t mind their owners letting them do their business on anyone’s lawn but their own.
