ODESSA, Texas — A SWAT team raided an open business, Big Daddy Zanes, in West Odessa on Monday.

The business was open but also there were armed men carrying on a peaceful protest near the bar.

Owner, Gabrielle Ellison, said she spoke with the Ector County Sheriff’s Office prior to the protest. According to Ellison, she was told everything would be fine as long as men with guns are not seen on the property. Out of respect for law enforcement, she said she confined the men to an area in the back, which is her private property.

This act of protest won’t be celebrated by the media the way the Stonewall speakeasy riots were.

Isn’t there some rule or law against the over-use of force, which is what this is? A scare tactic, “You must submit to the state, comrade!!”...

“Let them hate us, as long as they fear us!”

New motto for our SWATified enforcers in blue.

We need to have a serious conversation in this country about how many cops we need. They are a terrible drain on our taxes. If they have this much free time and resources for this kind of foolishness, then I say we have funded too many of them.

Gotta show off their jackboots and Military grade weaponry dontcha know.

I remember a time when a single cop would walk in a joint and simply tell rowdy customers to pipe down or leave. Now it’s balls to the wall. Pathetic really.
