Many LEO’s have become “gym rats” pumping iron to bulk up.
It is my opinion that “some” might have started taking Steroids to recover that lost youth.
I am a believer that “some” LEO’s have shown signs of “Roid Rage” and need to be tested after every police shooting.
Just my opinion. My dog agrees.
What’s next? Drones with missiles? The Gestapo police will be clamoring for drone strikes after a few more of their fellow Nazis are killed in these disgusting raids.
The Federal elites are setting up a war between citizens and the police. If some of the police have any brains left, they will resist the push for more militarization and attempt to regain the trust of the public. As I see it, if they keep this crap up, the police will become just as unpopular as the Feds and Congress.
You talking about this specific article?
The key is smaller communities...local control and with that part there is no disagreement.
Fact is, you're comparing small communities with what I was speculating on, take San Bernardino for example.
Apples and oranges....
“So what did that cost the tax payers? $15,000. 3 cops? Cars, fuel, cops wages, jail, food, court time, paper work, processing....Judges wages, jailers wages...Not to mention their bloated pensions. What a racket...The government created a very lucrative industry.”
Here in NJ the industry got so big it collapsed on itself; the serfs couldn’t pay for so much protection from themselves, and many cops have been laid off (including the entire force for Camden NJ). Now our “education industry” is in the crosshairs...
But they do this all the time...In fact even small towns and very rural counties now have swat teams which they recklessly use routinely, just to justify them...
It's costing tax payers big money.
I assume that you don't mind having neighbors selling drugs out of their houses
Let me tell ya something Mr. Bandit, I am much more concerned with government and their bottomless appetite for control of everything, their taxes, fees, fines, government spending, government mismanagement and government spending our tax dollars like a drunken lotto winner.
This is not to mention the 5,000 government employees retiring every day in this country on bloated tax paid lottery style retirements...This alone is choking off the tax payers..
Here in NJ the cops wouldn’t shut down the neighbors’ drug trade; they’d point to their inability to stop the drugs as the rationale for more cops. In the end, your taxes are over $600 per month and the only people living high on the hog are cops and other “tax parasites”.
In my town when I was younger our police chief went to prison for being involved with the crime he was supposed to be fighting. A year later our mayor went as well for taking bribes. These people are corrupt through and through; they are part of the “law enforcement industrial complex”.
“The “warrior cop” gets around the icky Posse Comitatus.”
You’re exactly right.
Magnetic grabs.
Sticky traps.
Super bright strobes.
Drawbridge.
Fake door/ window.
Tangle line.
Aquagel cable lube.
Thermal fogger/ smoke.
Entry netting.
Robotics.
Audio/ visual decoys.
Induction heater.
Ect!
I'm sure the guy in the article had reason to believe he'd get SWAT'd by his ex-girlfriend.
And I'm sure the average person, or even scumbag, is going to employ a drawbridge on their front lawn or sticky traps in case that happens.
And of course every prepper and/or FReeper has all of these things on standby for SHTF.
Yes, I get it the police state has gotten too big and oppressive. I agree.
But, I will tell you that even employing all of what you mentioned combined - hell, throw a claymore in there for good measure, your house will still get cleared if "they" really want to clear it.
Unless you have a squad or two of trained men that are well equipped.....it's coming down. Or, you'll get Chris Dorner'd by smoke grenades....aka "burners."
Or an armored personnel carrier through the side wall of the house.
Trust me, if they break out the military hardware they'll come in. You'll probably even get a few of them. Sure, set up a fake door.......a few det-linears and the wall posing as your fake door is coming in.
You'd be better off booby-trapping the structure and trying to escape.
