SWAT Raid
On video. Ninja gear, shoot the dogs, busted door. For a little bit of weed and to charge the occupants with child endangerment for having drugs near kids.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

One day one of these raids are going to find a home with properly armed Americans and are going to get laid out. Sadly, they will be seen as the bad guys. God help em.

After viewing this bullshit, does anyone really wonder why their are people who believe the police are our enemies? And don’t give me any of the “there are only a few bad apples in the bunch”. If there are only a few bad “only ones” the the supposedly good ones would treat the bad ones like the lepers they are.
PS; Uncle I read your blog on a daily basis, you provide good info and interesting articles. I may not always agree with your views, but hey, that is what makes life interesting.

I’m from Columbia. Please keep this story circulating. It’s starting to go national, and the town is going absolutely apesh*t over this. Tons of people are incandescently angry. So far, the cops seem primarily apologetic that the didn’t do the raid quickly enough, and therefore didn’t find the huge stash of non-existent pot. There is a city council meeting on Monday that I assume will be the most well-attended and raucous in living memory.

@Bobby, I can’t wait. Something needs to happen to put some liability on these pigs, and “In Good Faith” can’t be their excuse. They routinely kick down wrong doors, leaving law-abiding home owners to pay for damages.
I can just imagine a war vet with a M1 Garand, 1911, and 70 year old ball ammunition poking holes in these pigs like dominoes.
I really don’t like seeing this stuff, my heart dropped at the dog’s yelps, there needs to be accountability in law enforcement.
Just say … “what if” they went in the wrong house? Killed their dog, stray bullet nicked a kid … Whose fault is it then? Not the police’s fault, because they were acting “In Good Faith”.

The usual counter argument in support of these terror tactics (and that’s what they are…even an unruly Rottweiler is no real threat to a guy wearing all that tacticool battle rattle, certainly not one that justifies deadly force) is that they need them to get the bad guys before the flush the dope down the toilet.
If the stash you’re after is small enough to get flushed…then it’s too small to kick a door in for.
The cost of the war on drugs, if it includes this sort of thing, is too high.

And I have talked with the mayor of a town here in MD that used to go along on these sorts of raids with his cops.
He openly admitted that they want shots fired, it is indeed about scaring and intimidating people, and dogs are shot whether they’re posing a threat or no.
Disgusting.

Sebastian….I’m going to sit down for this….I totally agree with you..*burp*..sorry I threw up a little in my mouth. But really, you are totally right.
May 7th, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Sebastian, was that the mayor of Berwyn Heights,MD?

As a cop, I find this disgraceful. I think that one person, just one, should have thought to bring maybe rubber bullets, or even a BONE for the dog if they knew about it, which they most likely did. The police however,did most of the right things in The Raid. They acted quickly, read the rights, kept the child away from harm, and most importantly arrested the suspect. The dog, however, could’ve been handled a lot differently. Police are here to help though, and most find them as enemies. We serve to Protect. Who knows from this video maybe while high the guy beat the kid? And maybe even gave the Kid drugs? Who knows. But now the Kid can be put in a better home.

A lot of maybes compared to JBT supplied proof of tough guy wanna bes rushing into a house and shooting two small dogs, rousing a family, sitting the kid in front of the dead dogs, then acting all tough when the guy gets pissed about the murder of his dogs. All this heroic action for 1 gram of weed…not even a felony if I’m correct. Police may be here to protect, but nobody was protected that night, except thier wide wanna be asses. If cops want people to trust them, cops should act trustworthy and demand the others they work with to do the same. It’s shit like this that causes the “Us vs Them” mentality.
May 7th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
@thecop
“kept the child away from harm”
When? When they were firing rounds into the dogs, into the ground that might be concrete and deflect through the sheetrock walls? or after? Or did they check all that shit first?
The criminals wore black that night.

“The Cop”:
The police however,did most of the right things in The Raid.
No, they really didn’t. They didn’t know where the kids were when they were shooting – a CORGI?
They don’t have a “right” to know your name, and they sneered at him when he said he wanted a lawyer.
They might have _followed policy_, but they didn’t do much of anything _right_ that night.
May 7th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
The Cop,
You are my enemy as surely as the goons depicted in the video.
Just for starters, there should not have been a night-time armed assault on a house for some weed.
The so-called War on Drugs has become a War on American Citizens, and a War on the Constitution of the United States.

Added to Mariner’s statement:
And when the people say “Damn the law, I’m doing whats right” I fear for those who stand in the way.
(theres a good chance i read that on this site- they are not my words, but damn fine words indeed)

I believe a great injustice has occurred. Any cop who lived through that raid, has unjustifiably survived. None of them should be alive today. Each and every one of them should have been killed that night. Since they weren’t, that leaves one to wonder if the good citizens of Columbia, Mo. will correct that situation and take out the trash.
Fortunately, the cops have become so arrogant and so dependent on the fear the citizen has for them that they forgot to wear their masks. Shouldn’t be too difficult to indentify them bring them to justice.
And THE COP; you are also my enemy. You are the enemy of every free American. You are the enemy of humankind. I am not as nice as most people here. I hope your home is violated in such a manner. If you have children I do hope they survive (innocence). I do not hope the same for you or your wife, if you are married. She knows what you are and she stayed.

I gotta say I’m getting tired of this shit. Just a posse of bored traffic cops out terrorizing the town. I guess writing tickets for 5 mph over the speed limit gets old after a while. ‘Hey, I know, lets go kick in some suburban houses and shoot some family pets!’
You know where this is leading… Way things are going, it won’t be long before tobacco is outlawed and they’ll be tasing you for carrying half a Marlboro.
May 9th, 2010 at 8:45 am
Mariner & Straightarrow are correct.
Also as Bobby stated, it’s just a matter of time before they try this crap at the wrong house & get shot to bits.

@ The Cop, who said:
We serve to Protect. Who knows from this video maybe while high the guy beat the kid? And maybe even gave the Kid drugs? Who knows. But now the Kid can be put in a better home.
Who were the cops serving or protecting that night? The homeowner was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana, child endangerment, and possession of paraphernalia. He wound up pleading out to possession of paraphernalia. All other charges were dropped.
You allege that the father may have beat the kid while high and you say that the kid should go to a better home? What about the alcoholic home? Why aren’t you raiding THAT house?
By the way- anyone who knows anything about tactics knows that the SWAT teams are there to impress little old ladies. You stack up outside the door like that in one cluster when you are facing a REAL enemy, and he will drill your asses with .308 fire.

I understand the sickening rage, but proclaiming a death wish for a cop and his wife isn’t what’s going to change things. Rage is the easy reaction. Bear with me though and read this next sentence. Those officers were executing orders issued by the people of that community who were elected and/or appointed by the other people of that community. We willingly appoint the people that allow this to happen. Get that through your heads. We are not helpless citizens being oppressed by an authoritative regime. That narrative is nice and neat but it’s also utter bullshit. That community, and others all over the country, need to look at themselves in the mirror every time something like this happens. You can change how people view government. You can change how people vote. But that’s the not-so-easy reaction.
May 10th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Well spoken Mike–we’re doing this ourselves because of starkly stupid outright refusal to adopt a more reasonable approach in the utterly futile War on Some Drugs.
And yes, earlier I was referring to the Berwyn Heights, MD mayor.
They raided the wrong house, shot it up, killed his harmless black labs…and now the Sheriff’s Dept that conducted the raid is stonewalling the investigation into the raid.
