>> If the police where professionals
These paramilitary exercises are out of control. We deserve smarter, more agile, Constitutionally driven LEOs.
There are too many dolts dangerously empowered. Only the best should be granted the responsibility to suppress, arrest, dispatch. There should be no benefits other the direct pay given for the dangerous work of enforcing the law. There should be no benefits for “putting in the time”: no pensions, no unions, no immunity, but triple the pay. $250k/year is a good starting number for an individual granted the special Constitutional powers.

The cops spintered my front door, cuffed me, and might have shot me
1) There is a full length window on the house. They could see I was wearing shorts, and no shirt. I was walking slowly to the front door to open it, but it was more fun to do 2500 bucks damage by shattering it, and all that held it together.
2) They were looking for a guy that had long since moved out
I had forclosed on the place.
3) The one female cop said to me “They could see you were unarmed, so I don’t know why they broke the door down”
Sheesh!! I could have sued the crap out of them!
