Homeowner kills Deputy in No-Knock

Just like they should have done with Koresh- pick him up at the fucking grocery store. Make a stop and detain while his house is searched.

I'd think that would get into invasion of privacy laws?

The safety of the public and the officers in question trumps privacy laws. What good is privacy when you have a drug dealer living next door to you armed and dangerous? We have to balance personal rights with community safety.

Something wrong with you...

Frost blew a circuit!

Is frost playing an ironical role?

Not at all. I have been pointed out the error of my previous path and am seeking to better understand the needs of the men and women of law enforcement. In order to protect them from criminals, I am also for the removing of the posse comatatus act and providing access to full military backup in case they are fired upon. Criminals will think twice before executing one of these fine individuals or even raising a weapon against the community they live in if they are guaranteed a 40mm grenade launched through their window.

He's been Tali-whacked!

I have been politely asked to resume normally scheduled programming so Here. We. Go.

Any time someone decides it's a good idea to kick in a door, they should expect to be met with violence. There's not a single officer out there that, if another department got the address wrong and actually did this to them, would say "Oh hey man, it's cool, I understand." They would instinctively do what this man did which is defend his home.

Options for actually handling this without playing Billy Badass? Well since I get called out for thinking I know police tactics (you know, shooting pets, getting the wrong address, gunning down innocent homeowners who are watering their lawns), I'll use common sense.

If you have a warrant, you think he's a threat and you have all this fucking gear and time on your hands, sit and wait for him to leave the residence. YOu know, leave the place where the guns and drugs are? Yeah that. Make the arrest, enforce the warrant while you have the arrest and build your case for prosecution then. Congratulations, I just saved tax dollars on the fucking team training to execute this and the letter to the new widow because some asshole decided "Let's fucking Waco this bitch."

Feeling much better, I see.

whew, he's back. I was getting a bit scared.

Being a sheep is tougher than calling this stuff out.

You know I just had another thought.... How smart would it be for a criminal in the middle of the night to kick your door in and run in screaming "POLICE". It would probably freeze most people for long enough for the intruder to gain the advantage.

That trick comes and goes. If your crew makes a habit of impersonating police though, you usually move right to the top of of your local police force's shit list. Long term, it's a terrible strategy.

It does happen and this is the reason that, if I am innocent of breaking any law, I am going to assume someone busting through my door is a criminal with hostile intent.

Hopefully, these morons that want to enforce the flawed war on drugs bullshit keep getting shot. Maybe then they'll realize that playing dress up and kicking doors in brings the possibility of getting killed, and that it isn't worth it for someone growing a couple plants in their own home or some other petty bullshit. Unfortunately, there's a line of these trigger happy wannabe tough guys lined up around the block to be on the local police force, just waiting to shoot your dog as soon as it barks, and put your ass in a private prison.
