Tiny Georgia police department posts terrifying SWAT video
Washington Post ^ | August 13, 2014 | Radley Balko

The continuing crisis in Ferguson, Mo., has everyone talking about police militarization again. So while we’re on the topic, have a look at the horrifying video above from Doraville, Ga. The video depicts a SWAT training operation for a downed officer. At least as of this writing, the video was posted on the front page of the Doraville Police Department Web site.

The audio and effects were added by a YouTube user who goes by Patriotsix6. He uploaded the video in 2009. The images at the beginning and end are from The Punisher, the fictional character described by Wikipedia as “a vigilante who employs murder, kidnapping, extortion, coercion, threats of violence, and torture in his war on crime.” The audio is the song “Die Motherf—-r Die” by 'Dope'.

Doraville is a town of about 8,500 people, in the northeast suburbs of Atlanta...

The militarization of every burg isn’t alarming to you?

Absolutely it is, but I'm just referring to the silly VIDEO in question. They way its being described you'd expect to click on the link and watch some 'roid raging paramilitary thugs in death masks knock down somebody's house with tanks and uzis and bazookas and sarin gas.

You were a hostage you would be happy to see them , am I right?

No, I would not be happy to be shot to death. The police are more dangerous
than Terrorists at this point. And their leaders are not doing a damn thing
to tell us they're doing anything different other than making sure "they"
get home safe.

The few bad cops make All Police look bad. Can you tell them apart?

Police admit THEY shot mother-of-two who was hit ten times while being used as bank robbers' human shield

So in your view you don’t want cops training for a hostage situation.

And you’ve been told more than once that the edited video was on their website to display what they do. Are you saying they didn’t have a copy of the unedited video? Are you saying that linking to the video on their website means nothing?

I would love to see your risk analysis on why Doraville is in anyway in the kind of risk Beslan is. Can you even find Beslan on a map?

GTS. Then post.

Good and bad in all places, military, trust me I worked with some.
In an office etc.

To get panties in a twist over cops training for a hostage situation is what liberals do, and if the Ferguson shooting never happened then this thread would not have been posted.
Instead there are a handful who want to use a tragic death and shooting to push their own agenda.

Did the cops take it down?
Did they say they are proudly for this?
Where does it state they shoot 10 hostages?

No
No
It doesn’t, instead you want to get panties in a twist over cops training but would do the same if they never trained and ate donuts all the time and let the thugs rob and rape.

80-Million gun owners in America. If the SHTF those SWAT teams and their little buggy
rides will be meaningless. Not to mention the police themselves will be home
saving their own families. We all know why they are training, and it's not terrorism.

I don't rely on cops for my security or safety. There is no situation that can't be made worse by calling them.

I'll handle my own protection and let the chips fall where they may. After all, I can only be killed once.

Good for you on that then, hell lets get rid of all laws and cops.

I mean after all who needs them right? I’m sure no one has ever called the cops for help anyway. Bratty kids, raping, robbing what ever , we don’t need to stinking cops right?

No you don’t. That is not the scenario you proffered. You specifically cited the Beslan School attack. That’s not a bank robber taking a hostage (although the police jacked that up as well). That was a military style assault by a platoon sized element of the Riyad-us Saliheen Brigade.

1. This SWAT team would be UNABLE to deal with the situation. The Russians used their military forces in Beslan, not a couple of army wannabes.

2. This is clearly the role of the military. That would have been an invasion by a foreign force onto US soil.

3. The police forces in the United States are supposed to uphold and defend the law, not defend against invaders. That’s the role of the military.

No, I don’t approve of the conversion of LEOs to pretend military.

If you want to talk about the police training for a hostage situation, fine. Let’s talk about it. But don’t say, “Needed to protect against something like Beslan” and then change it to “a hostage situation.”

You sounds just like an MSNBC host. You're on the wrong site to be
attacking reality.

Where did I say "No Cops"? Take your lying hubris BS somewhere else.

Oh stop getting panties in a twist queenie.
If you read further you would see Sarc

So putting your panties aside let me ask you this.
Shall we have cops and if so what should they do?

I deal with these steroid freaks every single day. I don’t live in Doraville but very close. The entire city is illegally in the country. As a matter of fact I will be eating dinner tonight across from their training center. They are serious jerks.

“Good for you on that then, hell lets get rid of all laws and cops.”

Nice straw man! Nobody argued that! Argument ad absurdum. Law enforcement officers should enforce the law, not function as a local despot’s army.

As I said, “Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
