in this instance, the address was correct and the cops knew exactly what they were looking for and found it. and no one was hurt.
btw, personal insults make you look silly and small.
“btw, personal insults make you look silly and small.”
Yeah. I know. I’m sorry. I regretted it a half second after I pushed the button.
In all seriousness though, when you are on a forum filled with (mostly) like minded folks who seem to overwhelmingly disapprove of these kinds of tactics, how do you continue to justify these raids to yourself?
I understand loyalty to your brothers in blue, but why try to defend the indefensible? There are way too many ‘roided up Rambos out there, and frankly, I’m a lot more scared of them than I am a stadium full of potheads.
There are times and circumstances that DO dictate this type of action. But more and more we see them being used in situations where they are plainly NOT called for.
This is BAD public relations policy for cops. I have to tell you that I use to work side by side with a lot of cops as an EMT, and I respected them greatly. It’s a tough job.
But I’ve lost much of that respect for the police because of this type of behavior. It seems like a whole new generation of cops with a totally different concept of “Protect and Serve”.
Again, sorry for the stupid remark I made. It was uncalled for.
It was a good bust, and I think they’ll find enough evidence to connect SOMEONE in the mayor’s house to a drug gang.
I feel bad about the dogs.
