Totally agree, this is bad one. Unfortunately I have read and studied dozens of cases just like this one. It's not rare at all. As a whole our society has really been snookered on the justification of this abuse of power. What is worse is it's being massively covered up as to just how prolific these abuses have become. No knock warrants, Swat teams and the supposed "war on drugs" are the main culprits. We have been head faked in a huge way. People need to start digging into the facts and thinking critically about what we are gaining by allowing the police to act in this manner.
Everyone here wants to back our police. We want police protection and we want the rule of law enforced. That being said we are like a giant society of alcoholics that are in denial. The first step is to admit we have a problem with the Police and their tactics.
Said every criminal everywhere.
“Everyone here wants to back our police.”
yes, and abolishing the police is not the answer, because there is no such thing as no police. If the guys in blue are done away with, the guys with MS-13 tattoos will step in and take their place. What we need is reform from the top, starting with prosecutors. IMHO them and their win at all costs mentality are at the root of our justice problems. The cops in Minneapolis acted on their own, but the guys in Lousiville were sent there. Why is there no scrutiny of the ones that sent them?
