You can say that again.
Obama’s Army...as advertised!
America’s home grown OMON.
Ummm...what’s a good-for-nothing ‘representative’ going to do about this when it’s carved in stone in the US Constitution?
Beating neighbors & coworkers over the head for voting in the idiots that approve these warrants (judges) or those that appoint them would be far more effective, imho...
At least with the current Congress.
To who? Who has the legislative power to put an end to this? Local? State? Federal?
These LEOs are not real Americans. They are goose-stepping jackboots with an authority complex. They are not for freedom or individual rights. They are about oppression and control.
God help this country and save us from tyrants.
It isn’t always ‘drugs’...there is a version of the ‘knock out game’ making the rounds known as ‘swatting’...Hollywood actors/actresses have been ‘swatted’...innocent people have been ‘swatted’ by neighbors with an ax to grind...will YOU be next?
Amen.
Hope & Change.
This is going to be more commonplace, because many Americans view this as “security.”
Unfortunately, whole families will be mowed down by automatic weapons fire as they mistake these jackbooted thugs for criminals on a home invasion.
Horrendous argument. Were we to legalize murder, we would see a decrease in the murder rate. Some things are better off being illegal.
Another result will be a SWAT team that gets the wrong address will meet up with a citizen who is more than prepared for this illegal entry and cops will die.

Stockman, Miller bill restores veteran gun rights

Second Amendment rights of law-abiding military veterans continue to be stripped away without due process.
A 1998 agreement between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the FBI was one of the first jabs at veterans’ Second Amendment rights. The agreement was made to send the names of veterans into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, triggering a virtual lifetime ban from owning firearms of those who are labeled as “mentally incompetent,” meaning they need or desire the assistance of a fiduciary to help them manage, often complicated, financial affairs.
This agreement forced law-abiding veterans into the NICS database without due process.
There are legislators attempting to end the practice of forwarding names of military veterans to be stripped of their Second Amendment rights.
This congressional session, congressmen Stephen E. Stockman (R.-Texas) and Jefferson B. “Jeff” Miller R.-Florida) introduced H.R. 602, the Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act, to combat the assault to our law-abiding soldiers. Miller is the chairman of the House Committee on Veteran Affairs.

Swatting is not just about guns and pot. I had a good friend swatted because he didn’t agree with his local government’s redevelopment plans.
Our elected representatives are never going to put this ever increasingly hostile police problem to bed. Same as the rest of the justice system is corrupted with appointed persons with their own power agenda in such huge numbers that it would take years of intense grilling to remove only a small portion of the cancer.
This is part of the America that is not going to end peacefully, I’m afraid.
You didn’t care about “dopers” but now that they might come for gun owners, suddenly it’s a big deal.
But none of them are assigned to SWAT teams.
For that, they use the worst of the worst - the guys who will do whatever they're told, regardless what they're told, and they expect us to do the same.
I would be very surprised if that picture is from America. Very.
Author would have done better to just address the no knock raids rather than try to tie it to legalization of pot.
