Intimidation.
It’s what makes a police state work.
Disgusting.
Too many leftist-led police departments are now acting, voluntarily, as Obama/Holder’s personal gestapo, and I don’t say that lightly.
By fudging laws about alleged mental problems, Obama and company have created a new, unvoted on seizure mechanism which leftist judges/courts are upholding.
Lawsuits are the only way to fight back.
The guns were probably “destroyed” by distributing them among several senior officer’s private gun safes.
Yes. Every police force has at least one cop that knows what’s valuable and what’s not.
I hate all the f@cking nazis at all levels in this country.
Perhaps if they had to pay double the market value of property they destroy there would be less of that.
Those who conspired should be up on charges IMO.
And just try to re-purchase those firearms in California. Best of luck.
It's a short-sighted policy to say the least. Police who act in a lawless manner forfeit the protection of the law for themselves, the goodwill of the community, and create an enemy where they used to have a law-abiding citizen. Were it me and an officer needed assistance in front of me, I'd be turning my back on him afterwards. The Chief may not care but the officer on the street damn sure better care.
The money paid to the victim should be taken from the criminals who destroyed the property and not from the taxpayers. A felony conviction and cash restitution to the victim.
I am of the opinion that no firearms should be seized unless a JURY, after conviction of a violent crime, votes to remove the right.
That’s rich.
I had an employee years ago at a vineyard I managed who drew time for threatening his father in law at a picnic with a firearm. THis Hallmark moment only drew him 90 days in the lockup as everyone was afraid to testify against him. Such as things are, he only does 45 and is out and is coming to the vineyard to pickup his firearms; a 9mm, an AK and a shotgun. I called the Sheriff’s office and informed them. They said they were his and had to return them. I told them he was a felon and we had a restraining order against him. Still, the department insisted I return them even though one is out right banned. Before I complied, I disassembled the weapons and filed down the firing pins making them all inoperable. I figured if he came back after me for firing him I could look like a bad ass for once in my life by taking the weapon away from him.
This calls for CRIMINAL PROSECUTION ... felonious destruction of property.
Guns destroyed?
Or resting in various gun cabinets in the homes of policemen and/or politicians?
I would believe that those firearms are now in the private collections of the officers of that department. Now they can not surrender them without getting arrested themselves. Yup, they split them up.
The guns illegally seized New Orleans were stored uncased in garbage cans in a damp trailer by the rogue cops to rust into oblivion. The photos of the mess were sad
The gun grabbers can have my guns when they are able to take them from me after my ammo is depleted and the butts are worn out from use as clubs...
“From my COLD DEAD HANDS”
Here in Texas we have a flag stating “Come and take it”
Santa Ana took it, but they died standing for their beliefs,
