I remember someone saying in the original thread about this that the driver should be investigated. Guess they were right. Too bad the cops involved didn't have such foresight.

I quoted this from an other post that was locked, I am outraged at what has happened in this case and I think everyone else should be too. It is really starting to get out of hand, what has happened to our country? When are the people of this once great nation going to say that enough is enough and vote out the Idiots that allow this type of action by law enforcement to take place and start to hold those that enforce the law to the same standard that we hold our citizenry and military. If you where on an operation in the Military and violated any of the rules of engagement or followed an illegal order you would be held responsible as an individual. The officers that committed this raid should be held personally responsible for their actions under the same code of law that they enforce. These isolated incidents seem to become more commonplace every day, if this type of raid doesn't look like what you would see in a third world dictatorship or other tyrannical communist country I'm afraid that you must be blind. |

Shame on the police for the illegal no-knock entry.
I regret that the Mayor lost his pets due to no fault of his own if the allegations of the marijuana smuggling ring are true. The ring must case houses to know the ones that will be empty during delivery and have them monitored for the pick up, all the while the home owner is clueless. |

Based on what seems to happen regularly, I would suspect all LEO's involved will get suspended with pay (AKA "Free Vacation"). Then, a mildly worded letter of reprimand will be placed in their folder for a period of not more than 30 days.
THEN, they will all be promoted.

The escalation of the warrant from a standard- "Hi, we're here with the police department and we'd like to ask you some questions and look around" to "Crash, get the fuck on the ground, bang, bang, bang"....should land someone in jail. Really. This guy was the friggen MAYOR of the town and not some banger with a rap sheet as long as an arm......This is just too stupid for words.
What if the Mayor had a gun thinking it was a home invasion and ended up shot? "Gee, we're sorry, but we're still alive and you're not, too bad so sad". Bullshit! |

Is there any part of the story that leads you to believe they would actually say "sorry"? Just a few more innocent people being cuffed in their underwear next to their dead dogs and we'll have the War on Drugs won.

Every night, before I go to bed, I pray. " Please lord, please let them raid my home in a situation like this. I promise to give half the proceeds from the gazillion dollar lawsuit to charity." Hasn't worked for me yet.
Some day, somewhere, a team is going to enter the wrong house, and that house is going to be their tomb. |

Is there any doubt at all this "war on drugs" is a war on our rights as free men? Our rights to our person, firearms, our rights to be comfortable in our house?
This "war on drugs" is a big smoke screen to further erode our freedoms as men, nothing more. It isn't about drugs or illegal substances, those are just a convenient way to trash freedoms in the "name of something better" Wake up people. No knock warrants, paramilitary police, all results of this silly war on drugs which has been one of the biggest boondoggles and failures ever. Drugs are bad, but losing our freedoms is a bit worse. |

More of the kind of shit that makes the job more difficult for decent hard working cops. Lowers the level of trust the citizens have with LEO's, does nothing to help the community. Fail all around. |

Not to mention the usual apologists on here who will defend these types of situations, no matter how wrong the cops are. "But but but....their "INTENT" was to do the right think..he "PERCEIVED" a threat so he shot dog running away/shadowy figure/through the door/90 year old grandma/etc. Sickening what some who are supposedly sworn to "protect and serve" will defend. |

Quoted:
The Washington Post has chimed in with their update of this story "In some quarters, this has been viewed as a flawed police operation and an attack on the mayor, which it is not," High said. "This was about an address, this was about a name on a package . . . and, in fact, our people did not know that this was the home of the mayor and his family until after the fact." Interesting definition of "not flawed." Its "not flawed" to not know that you're doing a full on SWAT raid of the squeeky clean mayor's home. Yeah, that's good work guys. BTW, could we please not get this thread locked? |

Having grown up and lived in PG county for pretty much all my life, I lost pretty much all respect for the county cops (and the county government as a whole, for that matter) a long time ago. I have no doubt that there are several good people in the department, but they can't undo the institutionalized corruption

So, they had no idea it was the friggen Mayor's house?
That's good intel.. What if it had been the local hangout for MS13 with 50 guys inside?....Complete dumbasses. How long does it take to check an address and cross reference for criminal convictions of the owner? Isn't intel. a part of raid planning? Who is there? How badass are they? What are we looking for? |

Obviously. Based on that statement, and the "we heard a scream so, presto magico, we have exigent circumstances and can go in super-hot-no-knock;" I am comfortable with a working hypothesis that these folks completely screwed up and should shut their lying f*&^#$% mouths. |

No, after the press got their pics of the 30 pounds of weed the 28 pounds of weed was entered into the secure evidence room where the 26 pounds of weed resides today. |

You know, if it was me running a heavily armed SWAT raid, well, I think I'd WANT to know who the hell was on the other side of the door before I went in. Did they do any intel gathering before hand? Everybody involved should be stripped of their badges and sent to jail. Hell, they should do that for the search warrant problem alone. Not having the proper warrant, in my eyes, is as bad as keeping people from voting, taking their guns, forcing them to quarter soldiers, etc. |

Back in the oldern days there were reverse look-up city directories that the flat foots would consult to get the straight skinny on the guys and dolls in the flats. Now, there's this thing called a telephone, and this amazing interconnected database called the "Internet." Would have taken, at best, 15 minutes. Dumbasses. |

No warrant? Did they think they were gonna flush those 40-odd pounds of pot bales down their Kohler post-ban toilet in one flush? Hell, the one here at work won't flush a big bowel movement. They call that aggravated home invasion here. Class X felony punishable by a lot of years in the pokey. John ETA:
