“objectively reasonable” force. Couldn’t they have knocked on the friggin’ door and served a warrant?

[ConservingFreedom]

JBT ping.

[Uncle Miltie]

I hate the jack booted thugs.

Does that earn me flash-bangs?

[Graewoulf]

The CURSE OF OBAMANATION is taking hold in America.

[Uncle Miltie]

the force used to execute the search warrant, was “objectively reasonable”

Say something nasty about the police, and it is reasonable for them to throw grenades at you.

“Threatening posts” do not in a sensible world justify a SWAT raid. If they had politely served their warrant, searched, and found nothing, that would not have been a problem with the foolishly unsecured network. The route they took clearly justifies a lawsuit.

[NonValueAdded]

We have the JBT category for the jack-booted thugs but let’s not forget the judge who rubber-stamps the warrants. If enough pressure can be put on a judge, perhaps s/he’d be interested in filing a bench warrant or two for filing a false application in some of these cases.

But that is a generic comment. What we can glean from the article is that the messages did originate with the victim’s IP address and that the threats were made by a gang leader so the threats were likely just a little bit stronger than usual. That’s probably enough to shield the PD from liability even if the sovereign immunity veil was pierced.

[El Cid]

City attorneys contend that the force used to execute the search warrant, was “objectively reasonable” and that officials are immune from liability.

For calling the Police Chief names on the Internet??
I understand that this lady did not do anything, and that it was someone else who used her unsecured Wi-Fi -- but even if she did - did that warrant a SWAT attack? This is absurd. We have become a Police State.

[Logical me]

Here is my G damn problem. They are nothing but ars hats right out of as Rambo movie. BUT! If the result of the lawsuit is awarded to the victims, it payment comes right out of the tax payers pockets. IT SHOULD COME OUT OF EVERY ARS HATS PAYCHECK.

"City attorneys contend that the force used to execute the search warrant, was “objectively reasonable” and that officials are immune from liability."

I do not know whether to laugh or cry.

[Twotone]

Citizens need to start marching down to their local police departments & demand that all SWAT teams be disbanded. This kind of response is beyond outrageous!

[chiefqc]

Some morons NEVER learn. They were lucky that there was not another baby laying on the floor to be burned by their rah, rah we are the swat thugs and do not answer to anyone for hurting innocent people.

[Slyfox]

When I am on the phone with my daughter I will occasionally, in the middle of our conversation say “Obama bombing” and she will immediately begin telling me the condition of youngest baby’s diaper. We think it’s funny because whoever is listening to us will get an earful of crap.

[NormsRevenge]

Immune from liability?

so were many Nazi death camp guards.. or so they claimed.

Taking the police state to new levels of incredulity.

[Joe Boucher]

“and that officials are immune from liability.”?
Tell me this isn’t some kind of horse crap?
All officials ought be responsible for all the B.S. they cause.

[I want the USA back]

Some people join the force because they like to get dressed in real tough looking gear. Others, because they like throwing those flashy grenades. Others, because they think people are a$$holes and like to shoot them up.

As the country falls deeper into fascism, this will happen more and more.

The person who is falsely targeted HAS NO (fornicating) RECOURSE. Doesn’t even get an apology. Forget trying to get money for the damage. Forget criminal prosecutions for shooting up innocent people reaching for the TV remote to turn the sound down.

[CaptainK]

Outrageous. Is this going on all over the country or only in certain regions?

[yuleeyahoo]

At least no LEO’s were harmed in the raid. /s
