Violent No-Knock Police Raids on Homes Must Stop ~ VIDEO
Tombstone, AZ – -(Ammoland.com)- The police killing of Amir Locke while executing a warrant in Minneapolis, has once again drawn attention to the dangerous and often deadly use of violent surprise tactics in the service of search and arrest warrants. While the common refrain is a call-to-end use of “no-knock” warrants, those are not the only warrants that are a problem. Some warrants authorize police to breach the door directly after knocking or announcing. Too often a warrant that authorizes “dynamic entry” creates more problems than it solves – for both police and the public.

Police or criminal, warrant or no warrant.
ReplyDeleteIt is on each of us to keep our family safe.
Plenty of ways to make forced entry tough.
orks, not much else to say.
ReplyDeleteBaby Bou Bou, injured by a flash-bang grenade in Georgia...
ReplyDeleteAnd the fuckers refused to pay his hospital bills and the court backed them up. It's the U.S. system of "Just-Us". Works great so long as you're "Not-Us".
DeleteI'm all for funding the police but they need to dial back the SWAT. If the criminal they're after is that big a badass they need to use more brains than brawn. Catch the MFer with his pants down.
When no one in my household - and none of my friends - are involved in any 'Malum Prohibitum' activity, I do not expect any law enforcement officer to break into home, my castle. So, if I hear footsteps, and someone trying to batter down my door, what do I think? The Captain says it best:
ReplyDelete"Today, cops all over America, either the tacticool type who want to wear black shirts, khaki pants and drop holsters, or the sloppy and undisciplined ones who just don't care, make it even more difficult to determine who is a cop and who isn't. So to reiterate a point to cops everywhere: You understand, don't you, why you can't just stand at our door and yell, "Police, get on the floor, now", and us believe that you are who you say you are? We can't believe it if you're driving a car, standing at our doorway, or crossing paths with us on the roadside. We just can't believe you, because it may be the last mistake we ever make."

"I don't believe in your "war on drugs". Not even a little bit. I consider your raids to be criminal home invasion; and, I don't consider you to be "heroes of the community" when you do things like that."

ReplyDeleteI agree these raids should stop. Having said that let us ask ourselves:
ReplyDelete-who was the target of the raid and what was he suspect of?
-the late lamented was keeping company with a known felon with 40 odd arrests, nothing suspicious there-the lad was getting his life back on track and was an Amish choirboy
-doesn't everyone go to bed with a firearm, I never go to bed without my SIG 226, don't you?
Like most of the folks who wind up dead in these kind of situations-they aren't auditioning to be choirboys, and their career path was determined some years before.
I don’t care if he had Saddam as a cousin. He didn’t do ANYTHING wrong and was killed for no reason.
DeleteUntil the cops, prosecutors and judges have some liability skin in the game, this shit will never end.
Fact: the deceased had no criminal record.
DeleteFact: the deceased was legally armed, whether he had a CCW or not
Theory: if you took a poll of readers of this blog, I bet my left nut that the vast majority go to bed with a firearm within arms reach. Personally, I do have a 226 on my nightstand, a Ruger57 on the bookshelf by the bedroom door, and a 5.56 by the couch in the livingroom. So you can GFY, thank you very much.
snuffy - I concur with all you said. Well, except I'm not as well-armed as you. ;)
DeleteOne suggestion that may give them pause is to mandate that every LEO in America be subjected to a "no knock" raid every year...and see how that turns out for them.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea Dan.. you know, there have always been criminals and outstanding warrants, but there were not always commonly/daily dynamic entries.
DeleteThey feel, not think, that they have to do SOMETHING with that strike force after spending all that (usually federal) money on it.
DeleteUh, they're not spending feral money, it's taxpayer dollars forcefully taken right out of your pocket, then given to LEO minus a small "administration" fee of course.
DeleteAny gommermint has no capacity to actually produce anything you would willingly pay them for, hence no capacity to produce an income. They only produce unintelligible laws and regulations to deprive you of your money. AIn't this a great world?
