There’s nothing we, as individuals, can do about the first three. However, anyone can take care of the fourth one. Install a solid-core (preferably metal) door, use well-secured hinges, and put high-quality locks on it that secure the top, bottom and center of the opening-side solidly to the wall. It should not be possible for a cop (or anyone else) to punch through your door.”

Good advice. I’ve lately been thinking that the next time I install an exterior door I’ll install it so it opens outward, so that the entire door is supported by the jamb and not just the locks and hinges.

This happens all the time. People need to start suing the judge’s that rubber stamp these bogus warrants . When is the last time you heard of someone doing that? Never. There is no accountability for this crap. The average citizen has become a a dumb cow.

If even one element of the official story was true none of this would have happened. The reality is so far removed from the official narrative its impossible to give them the benefit of the doubt on ignorance, they are simply the worst sort of malicious liars.

They are completely unconcerned with their bald faced objection to reality because they know they will never suffer consequences for their actions. No judge will be held accountable for the authorizing the clearly flimsy warrant, no cops will suffer for ganging up on an old man and destroying his home, and none of their superiors or prosecutors will every be called to task for letting such behavior run wild.

They can do it again tomorrow and every day after that, and so long as they keep telling the same lies, no one of consequence will object.

But not because it would be wrong to shoot them. Anyone who shoots a cop busting into his house on a drug warrant (whether or not that warrant is legit or whatever) is doing a good thing that is unfortunately likely to have unpleasant consequences for him. Any cop who gets himself hurt or killed in such a raid brought it on himself and deserves no sympathy.

It does seem odd. If nothing else, the police should maintain a record so that someone who was raided could find out whether the people who attacked him were on the government payroll, or were private free-lancers. In the latter state, the government would probably want to take action against the robbers, but if it’s not possible to distinguish the private robbers from the government-sponsored kind, taking action against the free-lancers would be difficult.

That is when they would just drive a tank through your house.

“So the issuance and execution of the warrant are not part of the public record? Is he trying to say that any police action short of arrest creates no record?”

I caught that too. Pretty handy thing; to not maintain a record of raids that don’t result in an arrest.

That doesn’t sound like a tragedy to me. it’s a shame that attitude didn’t last and increase until the public eventually demanded and end to before it came to where it is today.

The movie Law Abiding Citizen touched on that. Sadly, the ending wasn’t that satisfying as the DAs were still alive.

1789

So the issuance and execution of the warrant are not part of the public record? Is he trying to say that any police action short of arrest creates no record? WTF is this guy talking about? Might as well admit that despite his state compensation, job title, and documented duties as the department spokesperson he considers it his duty to impede the dissemination of information between the department and the public. God, Orwell was a fucking prophet!

And the first spokesman was stupid enough to talk to the press before checking on any details of the raid? What the hell do they pay that guy for? Comic relief?
