What I don’t understand is why there is never professional or criminal repercussions for the officers involved in the illegal raid, personal/property damage?
Why must the tax payer always be on the hook for the civil lawsuit?
If you or I broke into someone’s home early in the morning and did the same thing, we would be in jail. That, is essentially what the police did in this case without any lawful justification. Plus, throw in the post-incident harassment alleged, makes you wonder.
If you or I were to shoot someone's dog because we felt "threatened" we would be in jail.
If you or I were to mistakenly kill someone's mother, son, father, brother because of negligence, we would be in jail.
If you or I were to carry a Glock on our hip we would be in jail.
Etc., etc., etc.
The list is long, but yeah, it seems the law seems to have been warped to put these particular government employees' lives, health and well being above the rest of us.
