You beat me to that observation. It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling when the police spend lots of their time and the court's time pursuing two bit drug dealers, while reports of purse snatchings and burglaries are just sleep-walked through as basically unsolvable. Not.

Drug dealers who sell drugs to minors are not doing something petty or insignificant.

Two bits my ass.

I agree. In the future you should lead the way, knocking and walking into an MS-13 lair, for example, quoting the Constitution as they they blow your head off.

This as are many drug raids was way overkill. Not every search for drugs needs to be treated as a military operation.

This is Schenectady. I have friends who live there. Why? I'll never know, what with the stories they tell me.

They may have been very familiar with the suspect and his family and neighborhood. That COULD explain a lot.

You didn't know that a vampire has to be invited in before he comes into your house?

It's a good thing to know...

Too bad the same rule doesn't apply to trolls...

I don't know what this looks like to you, but I can tell you what it looks like to most of the rest of us.

Get a grip.

Get a brain. How do you like being insulted? If you want to discuss issues go ahead. Don't try to swap insults with me. I can always go one further and still stay ahead of anyone who has english as a second language.

Typical response from the cop haters on this forum. All cops are "jack booted thugs", etc. They decrie the main stream media for being a bunch of liberal, lying swine on every other issue, but everything negative printed about the cops is automatically, unequivocally, 100% true. Never mind that liberals, and the MSM hate cops. Bunch of frigging asinine hypocrites.

One of the rules around here is that if you want to throw around insults, address them directly to the insultee.

Badgelicker.

Now that I tend to agree with. I wonder if they had different info in the warrant justifying this type response. Sometimes, you miss the boat due to the time delay of investigation, getting, then executing the warrant. Sometimes the informant exaggerates the amount/type of drug in order to make himself look good. They may claim weaponry on the premises when there isn't any or it's gone for collateral for more dope, etc.

Not all cops... not even most cops... at least not to me. But yeah, some are definitely "jack booted thugs". And as far as the ATF - no doubt, they're a bunch of Nazi stormtroopers.

It appeared to me that you were referring to me as a troll.

If that was not the case, I apologize.
