One problem (of many) with these Rambo-style SWAT raids is that the target doesn’t know what the hell is going on. One moment it’s a peaceful day. The next thing you know your door gets smashed in.
Many folks are going to panic, and think it’s a violent home invasion. They grab a gun, and the military - oops, I mean the cops - shoot him dead.
And SWAT has even been known to hit the wrong house. So what? They’ve got qualified immunity. Gear up, and get ready for the next assault.
Side note: In my younger days I was very pro-cop. No longer. Something has changed. And I don’t think it’s me.
I don't know if they could have pulled him over (or. Had an arrest warrant), but they were on this guy for some time, and it seems he was aware of that fact.
I m in the same boat as you. I was pro-cop and believed that they were generally right and the guys they were going after were the problem. Now I question every story because we have been lied to too many times.
Back the blue until it happens to you. End qualified immunity.
I’m anti Fed no question
No beef with my rural boys even when they arrest me lol
They are very polite
And usually share our politics
