A San Joaquin County family is calling on the sheriff’s office to answer questions about why and how they raided the family’s Ripon home Wednesday, with guns drawn and shields up, and children inside.
“Over the PA, they were saying, ‘Come out with your hands up with no weapons,” said Nicole McCurdy, who experienced the ordeal alongside her 3-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter. “I want to know why they had to use, why they had to point guns at me and my children. I would have answered the door.”

.....unfortunately, at times, your right. But, MOST of the time, particularly in Central Texas, the cops ARE your friend and just may save your life!
Wasn’t that the Cali popo that blew up half a block of town with a planned “ Safe Detonation” a couple months ago ? They will kill you , your dog , your kids , and grand kids to keep that 100% paid HMO and the generous pension your grandkids were good enough to finance . You are on your own ! You better have G-d on your side !
Joe Dirt:
So you’re gonna tell me that you don’t have no black cats, no roman candles, or screaming mimis?
Kicking Wing:
No.
Joe Dirt:
Oh come on man. You got no lady fingers, fuzz buttles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zippity do das, or crap flappers?
Kicking Wing:
No, I don’t.
Joe Dirt:
You’re gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don’t have no whistling bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?
Kicking Wing:
No... because snakes and sparklers are the only ones I like.
Joe Dirt:
Well that might be your problem, it’s not what you like, it’s the consumer.

Salamander is female.
These days 99.9% of the po-po give the other .1% a bad name. Remember, for the past several decades most LEO have been hired into a system controlled by demo-commies and their rino fellow-travelers. And they’re taught to ‘follow orders’ these days, regardless what those orders might be. Look at the actions of the po-po personnel in Portland and Seattle a couple years ago, if you don’t believe that’s how most all of them are now taught.
Not for lack of trying.
Fortunately, most of it is owned by one stubborn old conservative and the rest is the “WMA”, which is code for thousands of acres of scary stuff going on underground.
They’ll never touch that.
The state prison complex is now surrounded by a huge sea of solar panels.
Such an eyesore.
Years ago, the inmates had to raise their own cattle so they could eat.
LOLOL!
That was a funny flick.
Low hanging fruit...Mom and kiddos weren’t armed with AR15s...
Cause remember, officer safety, and they just want to go home when their shift is over...
Holy carp!!!
That’s the best thing about the Antietam Battlefield shows.
You can park WAY back from the actual battlefield and still have a good [fireproof] view.
;D
You forgot to mention I’m also a real freaking hoot of fun.
;D
Not just “taught”...Selected for their psychological likelihood to follow orders and not be independent thinkers...From a recruit pool that spent the last 20 years kicking doors, seizing weapons and generally roughing up 3rd World tribesmen...
In SC I lived in an apartment right overlooking the main street intersection downtown. The Police department was across the street , the fire department was one street over. I took my kids into the parking lot behind the building and shot off some fireworks, as police cars came by, they would wave, and the firemen on duty went onto the roof to grill for the 4th, and one came by to ask if they could have some bottle rockets. I gave a pack to them, and they shot at police cars that were parking . A good time was had by all. My kids loved it, it was in 2001, and the world was different.
Every 4th of July you'd think my neighborhood was the Somme in 1916 with shells bursting everywhere. There's so much gunpowder smoke it looks like a light fog and the smell lasts for days.
Well hell, let’s have another “Back The Blue” parade.
Watch these guys when the balloon goes up. They’re only watching out for one side.
“Reality is a pachinko ball.”
XLNT !
It was because they felt safer against a mom and her kids.
Heh.
Good reference.
The Jonestown West bunch up the ridge from me hold “events” all the time and I refer to them as The Cornfield.
