Lucky they weren’t just executed.
Pigs like these give all cops a bad name.
Is $1 million enough? Should be more or at least $1 million plus all legal costs. And how about those involved being fired?
Apparently, scumbag rioters are worth 20-times more than innocent citizens who were simply minding there own business when there lives were turned upside down...
What a glorious era we live in...
And police wonder why the people don’t trust or believe them any more... Every last person involved in this Illegal Armed Robbery belongs in PRISON FOR LIFE and ALL Assets Seized so their Family never forgets what kind of person they were.
> The search turned up less than $50 of marijuana… <
Well, that settles it. The cops smelled marijuana. A SWAT raid, deployment of a shock grenade, and seizure of the couple’s personal property, it all makes sense now. Not.
Tough times are ahead for this country. Decent people and the police need to be on the same side. Too often that’s not the case. And it’s not the fault of the decent people.
RE: no warrant was issued....
In the movie Rio Lobo the writer George Plimpton played “the
4th gunman” sent to shoot John Wayne. When asked for a warrant he said::
“I got a warrant right here, sheriff.”
He gets shot to death.
Back the blue until it happens to you.
...
The search turned up less than $50 of marijuana and one Lunesta pill outside of the bottle that Greg had been prescribed.
Under Alabama’s civil asset forfeiture laws, which allow law enforcement to seize any property they allege is involved in a crime, Randolph County deputies seized approximately $8,000 in cash, firearms, jewelry, and other personal items from two safes inside the Almond home, according to court documents.
...
Over a year later, the Almonds were indicted on unlawful possession of marijuana for personal use and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanor charges. Prior to this incident, neither Greg nor Teresa had any criminal history.
...
1) Civil Forfeiture must end. It is simply state-sponsored robbery.
2) Congratulations, Drug Warriors!!! You got those eeevul pot smokers!
3) Police are their own worst enemies. The "profession" as a whole is no better than the worst psycho they tolerate in their midst. There seem to be a lot of psychos ...
That’s just sad. Everyone involved arresting them and charging them should be fired. I wonder how much they pocketed for themselves.
Cops have a ‘roided up SWAT-party, and the taxpayers foot the bill.
awards like this should come out of police pension fund - not from the taxpayers.
That does not seem like enough money for two people made homeless and who lost family land and business health over an incident six years ago. I realize part of it was that they filed a document. too late; but surely their PTSD from the terror and injustice of the raid must have figured into that.
That court is interfering with the cops doing their job, right, libs?
