In light of recent SWAT events in Arizona... posted to show a few here these types of “tragedies” have been occurring all over this country for years now... they do not happen in a vacuum as some want us to believe...
Hey, Berlin...
I can’t tell if these folks were black or white but I thought you might want to see this since you are keeping score.
This wasn’t a drug raid. The police went in looking for a murderer, who had bragged that he murdered a child. He was being harbored by a family that lived in both halves of the duplex. They found the murderer there. It’s a tragedy that an innocent girl died, but there is more to this than what the family is telling.
I read the Balko site often because I think he is right on with these unnecessary SWAT raids, and I think he has good points on the war on drugs. But, he bangs the anti-Palin, anti-Cheney drum as well as any brat over at the DailyCos. He writes for HUFFPOST now which is a good fit because he really is a liberal. He also is soft on Israel, and went from being a Ron Paul supporter to a big Obama supporter. A lot of those Reason guys got behind Obama because they were hoping for legalized reefer. They got burned, or should I say smoked!
Flashback ping.
Why do you hate the cops so much? I never see a post from you on a thread where the cops have done a good job.
I dunno about this swat team stuff. Just seems too much like a police state if you ask me. Since this country’s inception the bad guys were surrounded, made an offer to surrender, and then waited out until they got antsy and made a move. Especially in the face of family or children in the house. Was this neighborhood as bad as a war zone?
This ram in the door and cruise in firing 71 rounds of ammo with a potential to kill anything in sight in one flash bang in our neighborhoods just feels creepy to me, no matter how good the intentions of the cops are to protect and defend. And what’s with these flash ban grenades krap?
