The police are no more in the wrong here than in the Michael Brown case.
The police ambushed by a couple of druggies. There is not a jury in the country that will convict the officers. I doubt any charges will be filed.
But, all you can do is throw out insults rather defend your position.
Now, go and buy a black outfit, a bandanna and apply for your Antifa membership.
And, yes, most conservatives are pro-law enforcement.
I see, you believe it was an ambush.
So theoretically if the officers had just gone up to the door and knocked you believe the residents would’ve shot the officers immediately upon opening the door or something to that affect.
Fair enough, but I would counter that all warrants served come with that same danger. Heck, in theory every stop a traffic officer makes is a possible ambush situation.
Due to this, are we as Americans, expected to give up some basic rights, to purchase that safety?
Serving a search warrant should be done with a knock at the door. Heck, it wasn’t until 1995, that a no knock warrant was allowed for the purpose of getting to evidence before it was destroyed (which I assume is the reason this no knock was approved)
Serving a search warrant, with a simple knock on the door, is sufficient and has been sufficient for many years. To go any further is to erode the rights of all Americans.
Aren’t you just the clever one! Oink, indeed. Now, do you have anything cogent to add to the discussion? Or are you just a drive-by moron?
It’s called “building a case”.
Well, dude, if you don’t like the laws, get them changed. As to whether or not you are harming anyone, apparently those who DO vote disagree with you.
BTW, just so you know, I DO vote, and once a criminal denies ME MY rights, I cease to care about his.
Wrong
Wrong
and
Wrong
The disabled couple that lived in the did not ambush them.
They lived in the house for 20 years The warrant doesn’t even have their names. The media had to dig up the background of the deceased.
The “female druggie” wasn’t armed, neither was her dog.
I completely agree.
Apparently, it was the same address as on the warrant, but again, we need to wait until the investigation is complete.
There is no such thing as a NON-corrupt government.
So we’re all racist now?
“you apparently want to assume the worst about the officers.”
Look English is English and if you use those words they mean what they mean.
Look I would not want to be on either side of that door. Which is why we need these no knocks to stop. It always is a loose loose situation.
If you are the officer, you have no idea what the owner is going to do when you kick in his front door. On the flip side, if you are the owner, when that door suddenly gets kicked in you are automatically in fight or flight stage. If it is your home the only answer is fight, especially if people entering are plain clothed.
No, these no knock warrants are no good, they are dangerous for all involved. And they have been on the rise. In ‘81 there were 3,000, by 2005 there were 50,000.
You mean do not be accused by a neighbor of selling drugs.
I meant does what was known and not just alleged warrant the level of force used? And even if they were dealing drugs was the killing justified?
Once you embrace it, they can no longer
bludgeon you with it. The most effective
response to being called a racist is, “So what?”
It was a PITBULL- that’s not a dog. It IS a weapon. I will repeat, I am not a cop or a criminal, but if I am rushed by one of these land-sharks, I WILL shoot it.
Haha, land-sharks. I’m gonna use that one!
Drugs were found not just the drug the police were there to seize.
You are a boot licking idiot. Damn I can’t think of people I hate more than people like you. You will get on the train without a whimper. Even worse, you will cheer when the liberals/progressives force your neighbors onto train cars heading to death camps.
Plains clothes no knock raid (warrant or not) is the definition of a home invasion. Idiot. Disgusting idiot. Wow. Are you really so stupid based on all the comments made on this thread?
No - your a cop, family of a cop. Your on the other side of this. You don’t care. You know it’s evil and are ok with it.
never knew libertarians to be anti-police.
Drug dealers or Roger Stone?
