The cops banged on the door of a house in Spring Valley, NY in the early morning darkness, barged in with guns drawn, forced the father outside in the freezing cold, dragged his asthmatic daughter out of bed and threatened to shoot the family dogs.
They were at the wrong house.
Of course, the cops say that they politely knocked on the door, tipped their hats, asked a few questions and left without coming inside.
Anybody believe that for a picosecond?
I didn't think so.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
They'd learn to get their address right if it cost the department a million for each such mistake.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the actual 'criminal' was wanted for. Jay-walking? Anything more serious and they probably would have started shooting a mile before they got to the house.
Nan, the cops don't care how much it costs the department. It's not coming out of *their* paycheck, after all -- it's coming out of taxpayer money, i.e., *your* paycheck.
ReplyDeleteSheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County pays out over $5M in civil rights violation settlements every year. The cost to reverse the decision of Jan Brewer's Arizona death panels and restore transplant funding to Arizona's Medicaid program would be... err... around $5M. That tells you just how much our boys in blue *really* care about how much taxpayer money goes to pay out lawsuit settlements when they violate people's rights -- i.e., even when it results in dozens of people dead because taxpayer money is going to that rather than to necessary medical treatments for sick people, well, they don't care.
If, on the other hand, every dime of Sheriff Joke's paycheck got attached to pay off those lawsuit settlements... err.... you betcha he'd suddenly gain new respect for the civil rights of his constituents. But that ain't happenin'. Great Penguin forbid that we actually require *personal* responsibility of the people who commit these "mistakes".... why, that'd interfere with our police state! And we do love our police state here in the United States of Amurrka, the nation that locks up the largest percentage of its population of any nation on the planet -- yeppers, even the most tyrannical dictatorships don't lock up as many folks as we do. USA! USA! We're Number One! Fuck yeah!

ReplyDeleteAnd if he had tried to protect his family most likely they'd all be dead.
There is no "War on Drugs." There is a War on People. When will we learn from the lessons from the years of prohibition? With the stroke of a pen, we could eliminate the primary funding source for most of the gangs (and their related violence) in North and South America.
ReplyDeleteDrug abuse is a medical problem. Don't believe me? If your spouse/son/daughter was abusing drugs, would your first call be to the police or a rehab center/drug counselor?
John, no argument.
