Comments on: SWAT Raid on Ohio Christian Food Co-Op? http://www.theagitator.com/2008/12/09/swat-raid-on-ohio-christian-food-co-op/ It rankles me when somebody tries to tell somebody what to do.

Computers and other personal property confiscated. Basically no reasonable response. Even if they behaved inappropriately, which by all accounts they were law-abiding (son-in-law is serving in IRAQ nonetheless). Even if they were rude, there is no justification for the actions. Personally I would like to see the judge who approved the raid removed from office, and the person who turned in the request charged and removed from whatever office he is in. This is beyond the scope of acceptable behavior. It is a complete disgrace. Computers and other personal property confiscated. Basically no reasonable response.

Is someone actually go to argue that food regulations need to be enforced so brutally? That an unauthorized(!) piece of beef in a university freezer necessitates some undercover dick trying to entrap a bunch of hippies, then calling in the SWAT team when he can't?

He got a polite phone call from the SA in charge letting him know that he was about to be arrested. Why no concern about the governor locking himself down or destroying evidence?
