It occurs to me that one of these days these goons are going to run into an otherwise law-abiding citizen and his family who's first reaction is going to be to grab rifles and shoot the dark clad, mask wearing, gun waving thugs who are breaking his door down.

It'll be happening in the dark, at about 4:00 am, badges will be obscured or not there at all, and it will occur in one of those neighborhoods where home invasions have happened in the recent past.

As our imaginary citizen and his family reload their weapons they'll be thinking that they waxed some criminal gang.

Chances are the 'cops' won't even be in actual possession of anything so trivial as a copy of the Warrant (that was the case here) so they'll assume, correctly in my view, that they were completely justified in their actions.

It'll only be when they're surrounded by uniformed officers in marked police cars that they realize they're in some really, really deep sh**.

Personally, and I know I shouldn't say this, I won't be one single bit sorry when, not if, that happens.

Interesting thing on these threads is that some of the same supporters of the unconstitutional children grab in Texas are supporting this action too.

Several years back a couple of cops went to the wrong house in Indianapolis, shot the guys dogs, he came out waving a gun, they ran in the house, he shot them dead.

They did not have a warrant to raid his house.

He walked.

See, it already happened.
