Police raid felt like home invasion

Money in the form of OT is why so many show up. Just like OT is allocated around the holiday road blocks, it’s sort of a perk that allows LEOs a little bonus money while conducting DUI road blocks.

“But when the people in Goldsberry’s apartment didn’t open up, that told Wiggins he had probably found the right door. No one at other units had reacted that way, he said.”

Exercising your rights is now evidence of criminality.

No warrant, just a “tip”.

I wonder why federal marshals had jurisdiction for a “child rapist”, not normally a federal crime. Perhaps they were just “assisting” the local LEOs at the scene?

Here is another for you to do what you do best.

She and he were very fortunate that they were not shot full of holes and killed. When they were on the air, America’s Most Wanted did a segment on a guy his survivors suspect was murdered by killers wearing law enforcement uniforms to gain admittance on his boat [the incident occurred on the Atlantic Ocean] but that aside, there have been many instances where criminals wore law enforcement uniforms to gain entrance to the scene of what later became a murder site.

Isn’t that why you are on that side of the thin blue line?

Nope. No longer, My FRiend. Today, the police exist to protect politicians and supervise the slaves. The slaves being the ones that work to pay the taxes that support the police, the politicians, and the parasite class. Anyone who thinks that either political party is going to kiss the money the slaves bring in without a fight is only fooling themselves.

The Zimmerman case is a good example of this. The orders for the rental mobs to go out and do their thing all originate at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. George Zimmerman's crime? He stopped a member of the protected class from taking his life. the slaves must be kept in their place. That is now the job of the law enforcement agencies.

I have already pinged our resident jack boot licker. ken 5050 if you feel so inclined.

[sport]

Yep. For some time, I have feared a contact or run in with the police more that I fear contact or run in with a criminal. I can defend myself from the criminal.

[sport]

It used to be that way. The operative word is “used”. That was then, this is now. At one time the verdict of a jury was, whether one agreed with said verdict or did not agree, respected. No more.

[jocon307]

Yes, I was going to quote that same part.

Very arrogant guy.

We used to call this FELONY KIDNAPPING, See OJ in Vegas. The jack booted thug belongs in PRISON.

Mat Wiggens: “I went above and beyond,” Wiggins said. “I have to go home at night.”


“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn


Maybe Mat won't go home one day. He personifies the arrogance that I've always associated with the Gestapo, KGB, and Stasi.

“I feel bad for her,” Wiggins conceded, finally. “But at the same time, I had to reasonably believe the bad guy was in her house based on what they were doing.”

Goldsberry wasn't arrested or shot despite pointing a gun at a cop, so Wiggins said, “She sure shouldn't be going to the press.”

The woman looks out her kitchen window, and sees someone in military garb lasering her with his weapon. Her reaction is to scream and seek self-protection.

The officer takes offense that she would have the audacity to point a gun at him, but he has had one on her from the start.

There was no warrant for this specific home. The suspect was thought to be in the apartment complex. Pardon me, but who in their right mind makes a charge that broad, and what police agency in their right mind takes action based on that broad statement.

Here was a situation where the officer could have killed the armed woman perfectly within her legal right to self-preservation.

Nowhere does this police miscreant express the realization that what he had done, had caused this unacceptable threat to decent law-abiding citizens.

She's lucky I didn't shoot her? This dude is one seriously f--ked up asshole. He knows what he has a right to do, and hasn't a clue what he should do with that right.

Some of those officers were pulled in as backup. They didn't even know the whole story. Those that did, should be summarily dismissed.

I'm all for capturing people who harm children. I'm all for firing people who come within moments of killing innocent citizens too.

This sort of thing is inexcusable.

[Georgia Girl 2]

It was a home invasion. No warrant.

Thanks, it’s been years since I read “A Day in The Life...” but the words immediately came back. I remember back when I read it how I contemplated how could a society ever become so f’d up.

Now I know. I don’t even recognize the country I grew up in.

[rockrr]

I like how your bullet points spell out the various fascist agencies. Nice touch ;-)

[x1stcav]

You’re not alone in not recognizing this country anymore.

I guess the question will become, ‘How much DO we love freedom?’.

[Hojczyk]

Did it take the swat team to arrest the guy?. most rapist are cowards

[OneWingedShark]

I like how your bullet points spell out the various fascist agencies. Nice touch ;-)

Thank you very much! (I'm pleased that the idea occurred, I think it's a nice touch too.)

Here is the fellow they were looking for. It is a rape/incest case that was accused of occurring over several years and also involved what appears to be a younger brother.

The accused has been convicted of a number of crimes of receiving stolen property.

Sarasotan, 24, sought on sexual battery charges

**“voluntary” and “consent” apparently don’t mean what I think they do.** warrant? What warrant?

Tyranny, pure and simple. Our Founding Father are flipping in their graves.Who will be the first martyr standing their ground?
