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

No mat - it's more important that I go home tonight. Get the hell off my lawn!

Holy cow...

“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.”

What were they doing?

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.

I’m sure he didn’t want her going to the press and letting everyone know how Police and Federal Marshals abuse law abiding citizens in their own homes.

Cops are getting so screwed-up, it’s hard to believe some of the crap that is going on. For one thing, why does a federal officer doing a supposed felony raid have to scream F-words at people? Is that supposed to scare bad guys or someting? I’m sure they never heard those words otherwise! But what it does do is sound unprofessional and amateurish, like some gangsta movie, and confuses ordinary citizens like this woman.

Come cops. Do your job but stay calm and be professional. Isn’t that why you are on that side of the thin blue line?

But Wiggins didn't think that was much excuse for the woman's behavior. He said he acted with restraint and didn't like having that gun aimed at him.

The irony of this statement by this thugcop is stunning, but I'm sure the jackbootlickers will be here soon to defend this may as well be Stasi agent.

Corrupt cops like this one make the other 10% look bad.

I have a question for Mr. Wiggins - has he ever used steroids?

Police raid felt like home invasion

Because that's exactly what it was!

By the way, congratulations porkchops. Another citizen learns who cops really are and how little respect you have for us. Keep up the good work. Who needs cop haters, when the cops do such a great job destroying themselves?

Maybe the officer should have been a little more covert in his actions while peering into the windows of easily frightened woman who possess concealed weapons permits for just such situations.

They're lucky they don't have a dog!

That is something I have worried about. How would someone handle something like what happened to this lady, if they had dogs?

Locking them in a room probably isn't an option, because if the police go in the room *blam* *blam*.

Also, the police may break the door in whilst you're trying to get your dogs safe, then what? That would surely freak a dog out and get them in a tizzy.

I don't think leashing them is fool-proof either, I've read a few where leashed dogs were shot. Would muzzles work to keep the dogs safe?

Also, did this cop have a warrant to be going in all these apartments? How does that work?

I am starting to wonder what is the big difference from what we have and a police state? We're at the very least on the fast track, no?

If the imbecile pigs ever come to my house and try to do a SWAT-style entry without making it REAL clear that they are Law Officers executing a warrent, they'll be cut to shreds by a .50 caliber belt-fed lead-storm. Too many "Amish" have learned that a successful home invasion where they don't even get shot at only requires yelling "POLICE, OPEN UP!!!" before kicking the door in.

I would much rather go to jail for shredding a bunch of dog-killing, pack-animal cowboys with badges than risk being duct-taped to a chair and being made to watch thugs who yelled "POLICE!" gang-rape my wife.

Too bad for the LE rumpswabs, but that's just the way it is.

They most likely could never find my house anyway. My mailing address has no relation to my home, and my driveway is all but impossible to detect from the road. Remember, the correct question is no longer, "Are you paranoid?"

It's, "Are you paranoid enough?" LMAO!!!

“I asked him what happened. He said they had a tip that a child-rape suspect was at the complex.

That suspect, Kyle Riley, was arrested several hours later in another part of Sarasota.

The tip was never about Goldsberry’s apartment, specifically, Wiggins acknowledged. It was about the complex.”

And this gets to the point about the 4th Amendment.

It is precise and clear as to what the government must meet as a minimum for search and seizure:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized”

It’s very specific as to the person, place and things.

Yet, here we have an LEO telling us they are going to search an entire complex for someone, who supposedly lives there.

But, Where is there? It has to be an apartment right?

What precluded them from surveilling the place, to ascertain if he even enters the complex, much less if bunks in one of the abodes and more importantly, which one.

Wiggins or Wiggums? Not much difference it would seem. ’roid rage? Despite his assertion to the contrary, what can he cite as probable cause that would pass judicial muster?

Maybe it is time to revisit exactly what "arms" in the 2nd Amendment means. Surely it would include sufficient fire power to confront an out-of-control State. "Say hello to my little friend" comes to mind.

I'm sure he'd be fine with it if it happened to his family.

If this happened at my house, several people - probably including me - would have died.

This kinda police-state $hit MUST stop!

Matt Wiggins was the man at the door.

He's with the U.S. Marshal's fugitive division.

I asked him what happened. He said they had a tip that a child-rape suspect was at the complex.

That suspect, Kyle Riley, was arrested several hours later in another part of Sarasota.

The tip was never about Goldsberry's apartment, specifically, Wiggins acknowledged. It was about the complex.

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.

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

“We were clearly the police,” Wiggins insisted. “She can't say she didn't know.”

“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.”

Matt Wiggins is an incompetent, power-crazed hack who is not fit to be a U.S. Marshal, much less dog catcher.
