This sounds absurd. Some additional details might say how absurd.
How much money was involved? Had summonses been sent? Why was a raid the appropriate means of contact when evidence enough for it already existed?
As a retired police officer this episode is extremely troubling to me on many levels. Sorry but cubicle dwelling bureaucrats should not be issued live ammunition and have police powers.
Also, I cannot imagine performing a dynamic entry in serving a warrant for evidence in an old student loan fraud case. The circumstances here are horrifying at a tactical and ethical level. The fact that the state STUDENT LOAN agency has the capability of launching such a screwed up operation, let alone pronouncing these tactics appropriate, is a moment of crystalline clarity that the tyranny is already here. The governor and legislature should be made to pay at the polls for allowing it to continue.
This case (and I’m sure there are others like it) should be Page 1 above-the-fold headlines right up until the polls close next Election Day, and beyond. Sadly, I doubt it will be. I’m not a big one for proclaiming Second Amendment remedies. It should be unnecessary as long as we have a functioning First Amendment. But where will the people go next for redress when the press has been totally co-opted into the tyranny?
When the violence starts it will be due in no small part to a press that forgot to defend liberty and decided to cheerlead for oppression.
