Is this the new norm of how the police interface with the citizens? Link fixed. I've come to the conclusion that the typical US homeowner is in far greater risk of a home invasion by thugs in uniform, than by non-uniformed thugs."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

I don't know about greater risk from, but certainly, it does seem to be that we are increasingly more at risk from those that are suppose to protect and serve us.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bignugget 0 #4 August 9, 2013 normiss Seriously? Is this the new norm of how the police interface with the citizens? No. Normally they don't wait to break the door down, or tase the fuck out of the people inside. I would say they showed more restraint than normal. I remember a story about a year ago where they raid a guys house (legitimately I believe, or at least, the right address) and they shoot his beagle dog that is locked up in a kennel.....you know for safety reasons. Lol. So yea I would say these guys did OK, pretty restrained. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 0 #5 August 9, 2013 Good job recording it. A better idea would have been a camcorder on a table or shelf. Phones just can't keep focus or target. They would've done better not to answer the door. If there's a warrant, let them serve it and then open the door for the police. If not, a polite "my lawyer will be in contact" is never wrong. There's no way in hell anyone should open the door for anyone that sounds that angry, uniform or no. Finally, I would've used a landline to keep 9-1-1 on an open line if the police were allowed in. FYI for anyone who only watched the CNN video: the officers were not at the wrong address. They were there to serve granny with some sort of civil fine order that was overdue. I don't know if that's as good as an arrest warrant or not, but I certainly don't see it as good cause to waste that much time and energy. Finally, being professional makes even questionable work look wonderful, while acting like these guys makes ever great work look like jackbooted thugs getting their sadist on.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayneflorida 0 #6 August 9, 2013 I'm really surprised they did not shoot the dog. They must have had a bad day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 891 #7 August 9, 2013 You might be surprised how few people have land lines these days. It's a dead product. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
