More cop thuggery- part deux

Boy I'm just dying to hear the opposing view on this one.
When I was a kid we saved a baby dear who's mom had been hit out on the road.
We brought the baby to the firehouse where they built it a fenced in yard. It lived there and everyone would go visit it. They named it Shasta. Mount Shasta was out 30 miles up the road.
The swat team never showed up for that one but it was also back in the 70's.

"And they was usin' up all kinds of cop equipment that they had hangin' around the police officer station. They was takin' plaster tire tracks, footprints, dog smellin' prints, and they took twenty-seven 8x10 color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explainin' what each one was, to be used as evidence against us. They took pictures of the approach, the getaway, the northwest corner and southwest corner...and that's not to mention the aerial photography."

Now you're onto a good point. The use of swat units for search warrants needs to be discussed. Gibson guitars, organic farmers, water bottling plants and other folks just don't seem to call for swat dynamic entries to serve search warrants. Why do the IRS or Dept of Education need swat units?

Most importantly is the Supreme Court lack of protection. The rules limiting no-knocks have been eroded to nil. The rule as I understand it is knock, announce, don't give them any time to destroy evidence and kick it in. If you're sitting on your couch and PD swat knocks and announces, you'd be hard pressed to open the door before they smash it open even if you're young and fit and intend to open it for them. To me that's an issue.

Get a clue people.

We most certainly were aware of the efficacy of these tactics in the 1970s.

Thanks, Arlo.

You don't have to outrun the bear.

What was the deer shot with?
AR?
50 Cal.?
How big was the magazine?

Was it a gunshot or did they manually strangle the deer?

On the other hand . . . Maybe they wanted a bar-B-que.

There it is. When your gun toting over the top violence loving folks chime in....they are all too happy to have bambi slaughtered. After all, its policy.

When I was a kid we used to go to the Xmas tree farm as a family every year. The farm had a deer they had raised that was friendly like a dog. It would wander around and all the Xmas shoppers could pet it and hang out.

Too bad no one shot it when it was a baby.

This story reminds me of all the times cops go murder dogs for no reason.

"I got out of my car after pulling up behind this dog and it turned around and barked at me!!! So I shot the fuck out of it"....and then the boss defending it "He feared for his LIFE he had NO OTHER OPTION but to defend his own life".

They really had no other option but to slaughter bambi here.

Radley Balko has a book out, "Rise of The Warrior Cop." It's a good read. Sounds like the LEO's once again overplayed their hand on this "killer deer caper."
