I hear ya' Hiram!!!
just for the record, before the thread gets locked, because it's taking some time to load now, let me state this:
1: the kind of stuff that Cincy is talking about is B.S.. running a tag for no reason other than to just look for an excuse to do a stop. If the people in the auto are not doing anything wrong, why do you feel you should run a tag! I feel this is wrong!!
2: I feel no knock, bust the door down, go in balls to wall, slam everyone on the ground w/ a knee to their neck searches are wrong!!
There are ways to get the bg other than this.
As I said before, anyone knocking my door down, is subject to gun fire!! Why would LEO's be surprised at this? I feel it's normal to protect one's self, when an intruder bust down your door.
3: Swat should be used for hostage rescue, counter-sniper ops, counter terrorist ops, and be trained and equiped accordingly.
4: I think that the search and seziures are B.S., and just a way for local LEA's to aquire money and equipment. I've heard the braggin' all too often,"look at all the stuff we've got now!! cars, money, etc....
Ok, now you know where I stand. FWIW. I have a brother-in-law that's a cop, I have friends
that are cops, and I tell them all the same things I just expressed here, it don't do any good, but I tell them anyway. I'm not anti-leo, i'm just against some of the ways they do things.
I'm through now Hiram!!!!!
