Why do the police need SWAT units, tasers, and all this other crap they have? Also why don’t they have an obligation to clean up after themselves.
This past year 114 people have died while being tasered by police. God knows how many innocent people have been terrorized and their homes and belongings destroyed.
Fourteen years ago, my home got broke into and I scuffled with the intruder and got stabbed in the arm (6 stitches).
The local police investigating covered my entire kitchen in graphite, removed framing from around my back door, and took a half dozen floor tiles (with my blood on them), all evidence. They never caught the guy and I had to have a new floor installed, a new door installed, and all the walls in my kitchen painted to cover the graphite from the fingerprint team. The intruder actually did no damage to my home, the police did a few thousand in damage. Not to mention time and inconvenience.
bump for later.
Oh there's little doubt about that. Spec-Ops wannabes.
“An assistant chief and another officer were at the Village Apartments talking to Irwin within 30 minutes of Target 5 asking them about the incident, telling her that they would try to get some money so she could clean her clothes and furnishing on her own.”
“Try?” Why don’t the police ever seem to be held responsible for their actions? OK, mistakes will happen - maybe a little too often, it seems, but even in a perfect world they will happen. When the police make a mistake and bad things happen, though, why don’t they step up and take responsibility for what they’ve done? Oh, that’s right - we’re talking about police here, who apparently believe that the rest of exist to pay taxes and bow down in deference to them.
Did it ever occur to the occupant of the apartment during the hours that the police spent outside calling for the surrender of the fugitive they were looking for that she could have said something or picked up the phone and dialed 911?
Police state is as police state does.
It sounds like they have resurrected the “Keystone Kops”. Now, it would seem appropriate, if they were issued rubber guns.
In criminal justice - taking responsibility for your actions and making restitution is for the other guy.
Ever notice when they show these SWAT guys from 1 horse towns in the news that they rarely are in good physical shape?
Can’t she sue the city?
