I guess they did not have a dog to shoot. This was a pervert raid.

If this was a raid at the wrong address, every agent involved should be jailed for a couple of years. This is unbelievable.

Was there ever a reason given for the raid? The article doesn’t mention anything in this regard.

When agents discovered that they were being recorded by home surveillance cameras, they forcefully twisted the cameras, saying that they “can’t be recorded.”

Thus the need for obvious cameras for them to destroy and hidden cameras to record their actual activities.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Obama’s “civilian defense force just as powerful as the military” in action. The DOJ and DHS, along with all law enforcement agencies, are under command of the _resident. The pentagon may not go along with the _resident, but all of those military bases and assets are in the middle of the _resident’s territory. Get the idea? The _ resident doesn't have to go after the military, he'll go after all of their family, friends, and loved ones in their own backyard. This is what bloodthirsty tyrants do, and he is getting away with it!.

I don’t know exactly why, but “flashed banged the cat” made me laugh out loud. I can picture these government stooges lined up for their turn with the kitty. Oh, it was pyrotechnics? Well, that’s funny too. Surprized cat can do 50 feet in a single bound.

If you aren’t guilty of anything why would you ever ask things like “what am I being accused of?” and “where’s your warrant?” and “who are you guys, anyway?”. It isn’t good to ask too many questions, citizen. There’s a List of people who ask too many questions. A police state is a safe state.

Hire a lawyer, call the Police (yea I know, do it anyway so there is a record), call your congressman, SUE!
Every network should report every event like this.
This has to stop.

I've been thinking that a way to put the fear of God in jackboots in a situation like this is to, at an appropriate moment, look into the eyes of one them and very calmly and deliberately say "Smile, you're on candid camera."

Say it once, and don't say another word.

agents tossed concussion grenades

That is SOP these days for police but I read an article the other day by someone in the military who said that simply tossing concussion grenades to clear an area is not the right procedure and is reckless. He said its fairly easy to get a line of sight to see what you are tossing the grenades into, and if the room is empty, you don't toss them simply to "clear the area." It sounds like our militarized police are acting recklessly with the military toys they've been getting over the past decade.

:: they forcefully twisted the cameras, saying that they “can’t be recorded.” ::

But, they had a warant signed by a judge to do this...everything was being done according to the 4th Amendment.
Why would the SWAT-team think that recording their perfectly legal acitvities...so as to prove their activities were perfectly legal...would be a difficulty?
You would surmise that the SWAT-team would welcome such an “unbiased” view of their activities in serving a warrant...yes?

I am of the opinion that the execution of any search warrant should be accompanied by a surety bond or insurance, where the searched will have means of recovering the cost of damages.
