How a SWAT team upended my baby’s life — and got away with it

You used to be an understanding individual, but somewhere you lost that gene.

"Understanding" and failure to be rational are rapidly becoming analogous to societal apologists.

Truth is that overwhelming force is demanded when policing an entitled and/or grotesquely armed population.

What occurs is what occurs. That's the way of the world.

You don't really think that was Sheltie's basic point. That you would say that makes you too full of shit to talk to.

Gawd, Hills. Do you approve of this flashbang use? If not, WTF are you doing posting this distorted political irrelevancy in this thread? Oh, I remember now. You're a 'cop family' and this thread must bug you some.

Anyway, that's a wretched site you linked to. Propaganda-level commentary aside (criminal-in-chief?), it's packed with intrusive adware and chain-linked to a dodgey 'celebrity' site. Evil side of the web, basically. I sure wouldn't want to be associated with it by posting it in one of my messages....

Ya know Zeke, although you claim to be a "Native American", you must also have an awful lot of white DNA in you for you to be such an asshole.

Did you notice he misused the word 'analogous?' Stuff like that kind of fucks-up the pseudo-intellectual affectations....

With all his written words, he must think that was a successful raid. No cop was injured, they maintained control of the incident, and there was only a little collateral damage.

Isn't it amazing how the new cop speak has removed the word human from all decision making, and reduced all situations to protect yourself? Why and when did "serve and protect" disappear?

It's 'persecute and enslave' nowadays

The police arming because of an armed population is BS! Although already happening it ramped up in earnest after 9-11.

I note, per usual, you are unable to negate the argument...

Straw men. Try beating the argument.

Oh wait, you can't...
