Robinson is an Air Force veteran who won the branch’s high honor, the Airman’s Medal, for dragging several soldiers out of a burning plane in Iraq.
My powder is dry.
Multiple closed-fist punches to the gut.
If one looks back on history and ever wonders, "how could Germany have allowed the rise of Naziism and the Gestapo", one only has to realize that there are always sadistic individuals only too willing to be the iron boot of the State.
Approaching cautiously. Way more to this than we know from this article.
Never send your child to public school
How much you want to bet the stepson was guided and prompted by his father, the womans husband, to tell his story to the teacher.
I get the cops performing a welfare check on the kids due to the allegation. Not sure why the situation escalated the way it did. I’m sure there’s a lot more to this story than is written here.
It was her fault. She should have hid in the attic like Anne Frank.
CPS is a tool of the State.
There may be blame for the officers’ actions, but the fault, 100%, is that of the CPS Nazis.
Never open the door to police. Answer from an upper story window if possible.
There are four circumstances in which an officer of the state can enter a private residence.
1) Invited in
2) Warrant / Court Order
3) Probable cause (i.e. witnessing a crime)
4) Exigent circumstance (chasing a suspect, imminent danger)
Of these, NONE appear to apply to this circumstance. The investigation should be starting with that determination of fact and then move to the use of force question.
Robinson took Landry and went to stay at her parents until things settled down, she said. Her three step-children remained with their father, she said. One of them reported the fight to a teacher, who informed children’s services.
All, save Levi, have been taken into CPS custody. Robinson’s parents are caring for the newborn.
I have mixed feelings about CPS. My dealings with them were more or less positive because they removed my GS from his parents and put him in my custody. I’m now a permanent guardian. I believe that was necessary.
That said, the CPS agent showed up at my son and dil’s door with an officer and more or less pushed into the place. CPS says the officer is for their protection. It seems to be they are there to be muscle to enforce their will.
I’m not a fan of Miranda warnings, but CPS could use a required warning when they show up at your door.
“I’m from CPS. You have rights. You have the right to an attorney, and to have your attorney present during any questioning. Without cause, I cannot enter your home without permission. If I do enter your home, everything I see or hear will be used as evidence against you. In most cases, the purpose of this visit is to acquire enough evidence to remove your child. Do I have your permission to enter your home for the purposes of acquiring evidence to remove your child from your custody?”
That would at least be informing people of the actual reason for a CPS home visit with officer in tow. The officer wouldn’t be there if they didn’t intend to remove. CPS would say such a warning would completely undermine their ability to investigate. When your ability to investigate an allegation turns on whether people understand and stand up for their rights, you need another method of investigation.
This is another divorce SWATing gone bad.
Police see all citizens as potential threats and treat folks like criminals.
They are trained to use overwhelming force and it translates into ALL situations regardless of the level of threat against them.
Simply asking a question, moving a hand, turning your head could earn you a face plant on the concrete.
The latest incident of the cop firing 8 shots at the fella running away from him. True, the guy did resist, but at the point the man began running away, the officer could not have been in fear of his life. No way, no how.
If a CHL holder were to pump up to 8 rounds into the back of someone running away from you....you’z goin to prison.
