A mistake, a raid, a couple terrified

The man leveled his gun at Nicole Thompson's face.

Moments later, he had the mother of four on the ground with the barrel to the back of her head. According to her and her husband, the man screamed, "If you move, I'll shoot you in the f-- head!"

Police reports are littered with references of "exigent circumstances,"

In other words, they lied.

"The police, they're going back to their homes, and they're feeling remorse: 'Oh, my God, we could have hurt someone today.' "


Believe this and I got some stock in a bridge in New York I want to sell you.

Truth is they all went to the bar later and laughed all night about "did you see the way she sh!t when I....."
all the while grabbing their crotch in their best Philly accent "I gotchur f***ing civil rights right here! right effin here!!.....

These armed idiots need to be shut down, now.

It is a well-written article. Kudos to the Pioneer Press and the reporter, Dave Orrick, and editors.

Isn't there any way of these cops having a mug of the guy they're after? I mean really, the drug dealer doesn't have a record and picture on the police file?

The guys lucky he didn't greet anyone with a gun or there'd be 4 orphans right now.

I'd hesitate about the lawsuit EXCEPT for the inconvenient little fact that the lead cop allegedly picked the house at random. And the wife is right; if you sue the cops, who are you going to call next time you need help?

This get the drug dealers at all costs cr@p has got to stop. It's not worth what it's doing to innocent citizens.

Posting this without explanation as above did a dis-service to your readers. May I inquire as to why you posted it all?

"This get the drug dealers at all costs cr@p has got to stop. It's not worth what it's doing to innocent citizens."

That'll never happen. It keeps the police, media and the courts busy and blows smoke and mirrors in order to distract the cops and the public.

Just watch shows like Most Wanted, COPS, Most Shocking if you don't think the media loves this stuff...it sells on TV.

Way too many crooked politicians and crooked businesses (lying corporations about their profits that need attention....real attention. The socialist agenda of many in all levels of government who slowly and surely remove almost all rights to the pursuit of life liberty and justice for all Americans.

And Mena, Arkansas is back in business these days too.

I just wish the cops and the government would get a s equally excited about detaining and deporting illegals...especially those that have already been deported and continue to commit other crimes.

What sort of explanation does your average news article require, in your humble opinion?

Near Lake Wobegon?.........

Exactly. I used to live in the area as well - Anoka, Fridley, Columbia Heights. I guess the neighborhood has really gone down hill since the early 60's...

The Thompsons should file a lawsuit for home invasion, abuse of authority uunder official color, illegal arrest and unlawful imprisonment. Its not about the money - for something good to come from their ordeal, the financial punishment must be so heavy, the cops will think twice about terrorizing innocent people in the future.
