SWAT team throws concussion grenade into baby playpen during no-knock raid

Just saying as more info comes to light I may have been off base. May not. Just opening the door on that. Emotions run hard when kids are hurt and LEO might be screwing the pooch.

No. I was referring to the storms that rolled through your area. At the time you posts that comment, we were concerned for the safety of our speedway/west side INGOers.

A few nights ago, my 8-year-old woke up in the middle of the night screaming, “No, don’t kill him! You’re hurting my brother! Don’t kill him.” How can I ever make that go away? I used to tell my kids that if they were ever in trouble, they should go to the police for help. Now my kids don’t want to go to sleep at night because they’re afraid the cops will kill them or their family. It’s time to remind the cops that they should be serving and protecting our neighborhoods, not waging war on the people in them.

Heart-breaking.

so they bought illegal stuff at that door, so instead of doing it again and grabbing the guy once they open the door, they come in unannounced and throw flashbangs and bring the rain!! yeah get some!!! what a joke

 

[steveh_131]

"How can you flash-bang women? And little babies?"

"Easy! Ya just aim for the crib! Aint the drug war hell?"

Remember how the Patriot Act was to protect us from the evil-doers and how it would never be abused? And how those who thought the FED scum would use it to justify everything under the sun were paranoid Alex Jones freaks?

Do you have a source for that? Very interesting.

that is interestng. This graph is 2006-2009. Wonder what a more recent graph would look like.

Source would be great.

Had the original source but I can't locate it ATM.

For now it's via:

Patriot Act - 9/11 Encyclopedia - September 11 10th Anniversary – NYMag

Sure makes you wonder if there is a connection between the expansion of the drug war after 9/11, and US forces being used to guard poppy fields in Afghanistan.

I'm afraid Michael Ruppert may have been right.. about everything..

No thanks to the thugs who almost killed him, baby Bou Bou has managed to survive and has finally left the hospital. Needless to say the family are planning on moving back to their more peaceful community. Hope they have a good lawyer and sue the PD for every dime they have.

That's great news. I hope there are no latent long-term effects.

Way to show up NBC, you're only 10-15 years late to the party. All that over a $50.00 drug deal what clowns.

There likely will be. They apparently blew open a hole in his chest and he's facially scarred for sure. Not that they care. They all got home safely.

As is usually the case the cops are refusing to pay up for their egregious behaviour and the damage they caused the child in this story. Here's hoping a lawsuit comes of this that bankrupts the town and the police department. Sadly, there will be no repercussions for the perpetrators of this.

There simply has to be reform. I just happen to have some ideas:


1. Deployment of grenade=waiver of qualified immunity.

2. Lack of knock and announce=waiver of qualified immunity.

3. Damages not paid by the city but by police pension/retirement plans.

How about make the Chief/Captain pay for the damages? Give them some incentive to get their boys in line.

In before those who love to complain about the lack of personal responsibility and accountability of the public at large argue that we can't have personal responsibility and accountability for agents of the state.
