I suggest that you stop your knee jerk “counter attacks” and review what has actually been posted on this thread.
Otherwise, many of us will just assume you are paid by someone to endlessly spout “crap” for some reason, known only to you, and whoever pays you.
Have a nice day!
>>Gwinnett County police said they accidentally broke down the door to the wrong house before going to the correct house and arresting a man on drug charges.<<
Let me see if I can spell this out SO simply that perhaps even YOU can understand it.
The article made NO reference to DRUGS BEING FOUND, OR SEIZED in the raid.(In fact, YOU made no reference to drugs in your first post on the subject, ONLY the cash.) Yes, the article said that the suspect was arrested on "drug charges", and only mentioned the 24,000 dollars in cash.
...Which begs the question: Does the mere possession of (what the government believes to be) "too much " cash automatically make one a "drug dealer" (according to the article), or a "criminal" (according to you)?
Your posts make me think that you are using drugs, and that you are an ignorant F !
And yours lead me to believe that I am wasting my time debating with someone who lacks the reading comprehension skills necessary to engage in a mature conversation.
Alright, alright. There's no need to flirt, or bully.
Of all the groups to call "jackboot lickers", you chose Freepers.
That's pretty funny.
The anarchists are crawling out of the woodwork.
There has to be some kind of spray for that. Damn woodwork crawlers!
“Believe in” the constitution? What an odd choice of words.
Do you mean in a spiritual way? Like a religion?
May I suggest you calmly revisit this thread, and starting from the article, read it, in its entirety?
Done. And I have read the incident reports for the last 10 years. The exaggerations on this thread are many.
I still believe some no-knock raids are critical in certain situations (specifically long-term hostage and missing person cases).
However, citizens within individual states and communities need to get active and establish that training of SWAT teams and chief LEO’s is effective within their own spheres.
I personally will do what I can in my community to make sure our police know what they are doing and when they can do it.
You stated “I still believe some no-knock raids are critical in certain situations (specifically long-term hostage and missing person cases).”
Few would argue that.Certainly, I could agree with you, on a case by case basis.
But the specific raid(s) discussed on this thread, and the general uneasiness many of us have with no-knock raids in law enforcement operations, IS precisely the point.
Some “options” must never be allowed to become thought of as normal and/or routine operations.
So, I contend we are actually in full agreement. Neither of us think the no-knock raid conducted by LEOs was warranted in this case. And the fact that they screwed it up, makes it even more ...distastefull.
