Rise Of The Police State & No-Knock Raids - Either We Are Against Them Or Allowing Th

Mostly good right? Phhhhhhhhfffffffff

90% follow the blue line, 9% excessive ego, 1% have integrity.

Sent from my HTCONE using USA Carry mobile app

From speaking with my father who works as an armorer at a PD in NC, and speaking quite often about things like this with my Professor (prior 30yr LE Capt.)... IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

However minor it may seem, breaking the law and expecting (and actually getting away w/ it) to get away with it b/c of wearing a badge is corrupt.
 

I hope all the badgefluffers of USA Carry choke on this report. Disgusting. Here's the bottom line, which is the actual bottom line of the report:

Hooks is the 34th person to die in US domestic drug law enforcement operations this year, StoptheDrugWar.com reported.

And that doesn't even begin to account for all the injuries, financial ruin and violation of civil rights that go along with that one stat, all to "protect" "free" people from harming themselves through what they ingest/snort/mainline/smoke/whatever. It's fine if the state blows their freakin' brains out in their own homes, but for some reason "free" people can't determine for themselves what to use to catch a buzz in this society? And Mr. Hooks wasn't even a drug user at all!!! His only mistake was not adequately training his trigger-finger to react in a timely manner.

Mr. Hooks, the victim of a false report in this case, is the same age as I am, 59. This can happen to any one of us at any time for any or no reason at all. This guy had the temerity to arm himself when he heard people breaking into his home after having been burglarized two days earlier. They thought the burglars were back, but it was freakin' costumed pirates instead. The pirates fired through a wall having no idea who/what was on the other side and killed the man based on the junkie who stole his car's report of drug dealing in the house. The junkie was known to the pirates and known to be a junkie. Shades of Jose Guerena. Guerena's widow got $3.4 million paid by the tax-payers of Pima County, AZ, and all the pirates involved are still on the job with the full support of their chiefs and sheriffs. I hope Mrs. Hooks gets 10 times that amount and every one of those pirates swings from a gallows, but I'm not naive enough to believe that will happen. All those pirate bastards who killed Mr. Hooks will be back on the job before the ink is dry on the report exonerating them from any wrong-doing, and Mrs. Hooks will be lucky to get her carpet cleaned from the mess they left.

Freakin' pigs.

One thing that might help is for the Police to no longer wear BDUs and masks... just the normal recognizable uniform so that even if you are woken up early in the morning you know who it is at a glance. Reading that story made me realize how much a police man would look like a robber to me at 4am.

As explained to me by an LEO I attend a class with, he says it is for the explicit purpose of scaring people into submission. The rationale is, if they look like a bunch of hardcore bad@sses, people will not fight them. The practice is backfiring on them, big time.

Wow. Psychotic.

How is the intimidation police state backfiring on the purveyors of it even a little bit, much less "big time?" Very few cops ever suffer any personal consequences for the violence they perpetrate, leaving the tax-payers to pick up the tab for it if there are civil consequences, which itself is an iffy proposition at best, and doesn't even come out of the department's budget, so no one in the chain of command really suffers consequences at all. Tax-payers are the only ones being backfired on. What am I missing?

I was referencing how those people they wish to submit w/o incident, in many ways, aren't. Therefor, as you said, they are killed. If the goal of LE is to be believed (save lives), which it seems hardly possible, the innocent lives lost would be the backfiring. Then again, who the hell am I kidding? It seems the police don't care too much about saving lives so, all is working according to plan, I suppose.
 
You say: "Unfortunately, that wall is eroding quickly and we're not far from simply being prey at the hands of our so called protectors ..."
I agree with you. In my opinion, if you lined up 10 LEOs [of any or combo of agencies] and threatened all of them with job termination if they refused to break one of your knees with a baton for no damn justified reason at all, 9 of them would do it without hesitation. That's how corrupt I think they are at this moment - simply dormant corruption awaiting the catalyst, perhaps martial law, etc..

Hey good jobs are hard to find these days, just a little jocularity. The right answer is not a one.
 
Ridiculous... 6v1. Lethal force should be a last option, not the first.

Well, to be fair, a few of those cops were fat enough they probably have a hard enough time fighting their way into their pants so they wouldn't stand a good chance trying to subdue anyone anyway. :biggrin:
 

Found an actual news story on the incident, with info about the cop being suspended without pay and the news .org actually getting comments on the incident from him. What a stinkin' pig this guy is.

Reached Saturday, Glans said there was more to the encounter than is captured on the video.


"You saw the video. It doesn't look good," Glans told the Times Union. "I'm all about doing the right thing. I had to go to that point because of the factors that came into play. There was a gun that was involved (that) I spotted in the vehicle."


Asked if he would have handled the matter the same way again, Glans said he would, but not if he knew it was being filmed. He acknowledged that he did not know the incident was being videotaped.


"I was concerned. It was a public safety issue," the sergeant said. "If I had to do it all over again ... I'd probably do the same thing. If I knew the camera was there, no, because it does look bad."

No, you cretin, it doesn't "look" bad, it IS bad! Bad piggy! Bad piggy!
 
From the interview, "If I had to do it all over again ... I'd probably do the same thing. If I knew the camera was there, no, because it does look bad." Hmmm, maybe because it was bad. So this cop wants to act like a freaking badass but only if it's not recorded. Sad thing is this happens way to many times and its the cops story vers the citizen. For public safety reasons this guy should be canned. He's already cost the tax payers millions of dollars from a lawsuit. If his job is so stressful maybe its time for a career change and personally I'm sick and tired of that "having a bad day" excuse.

Agree. If a cashier has a bad day, maybe you get the wrong change. If a cop has a bad day, maybe you die... they should not get "bad days".
