People would be too afraid to call you the "dark knight". It might be borderline racist.

Blame the article, not me. Did you read it? Notice the link title? How many times was "right wing" cited in it? Left wing? I agree with you, just saying the cases the article stated on cop killers, they weren't right wing folk.

I did read the article, and it's total dogshit, but you're still doing the same thing you're accusing the author of doing, which is marginalizing the issue along partisan lines.

I think that most cops are generally good and attempt to do the right thing. Then you take those same good cops and you throw in something they aren't ready for and they are in a position to make very bad mistakes. They are trained to make high pressure judgements but is anyone really prepared for everything? just my .02 oh and FTP

The biggest problem is not the bad cops. The biggest problem is the good cops who insist on standing up for the shit heads under some misty eyed notion of brotherhood or duty.

Exactly. When you lay with dogs instead of kicking their asses out of the bed, you're gonna get fleas too.

At least one guy made it on no-knock idiocy:

SAN ANTONIO — Jurors who deliberated for 10 hours Tuesday determined that Adrian Perryman was not guilty of aggravated assault of a public servant for a 2010 shooting that took place inside his home as police were serving a search warrant.

They also found Perryman, 52, not guilty of a lesser charge of deadly conduct for firing four rounds at the group of officers he believed to be intruders.

Defense attorney Tony Jimenez told jurors during closing arguments Tuesday that his client, whose home had twice before been broken into, had been awakened by his frantic girlfriend, Rebecca Flores, and was acting on adrenaline when he shot.

“He was protecting his house, he was protecting Ms. Flores and he was protecting Savannah,” he said, referencing the 3-year-old granddaughter of Flores who also was at the home the night of the October 2010 raid.

Though jurors never heard about the reasons for or results of the search warrant, police at the time reported finding methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and firearms in the home.

Prosecutors Steven Speir and Julie Wright argued that Perryman's in-home surveillance system would have given him ample warning of the police presence even if he hadn't heard the shouts of the nine officers yelling “Police! Search warrant!” as they broke down the door and entered the house.

“He was shooting straight at them,” Wright said during closing arguments. “He certainly wasn't firing into the ceiling.”

Perryman's former girlfriend, Flores, testified that she looked at the monitor the night of the raid as she came out of the shower and could only see two dark, shadowy figures crouched down outside the house before she ran to wake Perryman and handed him a gun, telling him burglars had returned to the home.

“I put my body over Savannah's,” she said, recalling for jurors what she did in the moments after handing Perryman the gun and before he opened fire. “He said 'I've got a gun and I'm going to shoot — stay out!'”

Flores said it wasn't until after he fired four shots that she heard anyone yelling “Police!”

“I remember telling him the police were here; I thought they were there to protect us. I said 'Oh, thank God,'” she said.

Perryman took the stand in his defense last week and told jurors how he had shouted a warning before he heard the front door go down and “unloaded” his gun.

“When I knew they were policemen, I lay down, face down,” he said, adding he dropped the gun and began apologizing. “I kept saying 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was y'all. I've been broken into before.'”

I did read the article, and it's total dogshit, but you're still doing the same thing you're accusing the author of doing, which is marginalizing the issue along partisan lines.

Perhaps, but the left DOJ is only feeding the machine:

Attorney General Eric Holder appeared on ABC’s This Week to reaffirm that his greatest fear, the one that keeps him up at night, is “lone wolf homegrown violent extremists” who have “domestic concerns”. This is basically code for any citizen who disagrees with the direction the establishment is taking the country.

“These homegrown violent extremists … keep you up late night as well trying to monitor them, anticipate what it is that they are going to do,” Holder said Sunday.

Holder recently revived the DOJ’s domestic terrorism task force to focus on citizens who they allege to be extremists. This is just another sign that the war-on-terror apparatus is being turned inward on the American people.

America has already been declared war zone in the borderless Authorization to Use Military Force in the perpetual “war on terror”, and reaffirmed in the NDAA of 2012 which declared U.S. citizens can be indefinitely detained by armed forces without due process for mere suspicion of ties to terrorism. Even direct murder of Americans overseas is now sanctioned when they are “suspected” of terrorism.

Domestically, black-masked SWAT armies serving warrants to non-violent offenders via no-knock raids with grenades and machine guns is now routine in America. It is clear that the militarization of local police forces and the rise of DHS’s army of paramilitary agents is already treating the American people as a combative enemy.

And, finally, the glue that completes the growing police state apparatus is the all-encompassing surveillance grid. It’s now clear to everyone that the U.S. government is spying on all citizens’ digital communications, finances, medical records, biometrics, and so much more.

The U.S., by any definition, has become a militarized police state. Americans have few protections left from the government’s protection racket which has become inverted.

The government claims to protect us from people who may spy on us, by spying on us. They claim to protect us from violent thugs with cops that conduct no-knock SWAT raids on peaceful people. They claim to protect us from thieves and financial collapse by stealing from us to give to the thieves. And now they want to declare war on the American people to protect us from those who may declare war on us.

It’s time to wake up and realize that the government is the big fat pink terrorist in the room.
