Iowa family ‘terrorized’ by police who bust in doors and remove cameras during no knock raid

Link

Seems a family in Iowa had a no knock warrant served and those wanted were not even there. To make it worse, there was almost a shooting by an occupant who is a registered carrier. If it had gone south it could have been worse but it would have been covered up since the police...

ripped out cameras in the front and covered those inside. This has gone to far. It is conditioning. Pure and Simple. Saliva tests at check points for nothing...martial law in Boston...children taken in California. These have all happened and NOTHING is being done.

Not all LEO's are bad but there needs to be a form of control in place or there will be some very, very sad incidents.

Don't you mean there will continue to be very very sad incidents? It has been running amok for quite a while now. Unless people are starving they will continue to do nothing worthwhile. Kinda makes me admire those crazy Ukrainians....

Just another day in the old police state. Business as usual anymore.

You know, that bugs me almost as much as the home invasions by the cops. If any of us worked for an organization where we were consistently aware of fellow employees breaking laws and hurting people but did nothing to stop it we would be considered accessories to the crimes. Why do so many people excuse the police in this manner?

These are sad incidents. What I am referring to is that there will be more citizen deaths and shootings of officers that could have been prevented and will just be used to further clamp down on guns and our rights.

The scariest one lately is the fact that if you visit a psych, for any reason, it is grounds to lose the right to own firearms. So, if I have a bad divorce or lost a child or a parent and needed some help I lose my firearms? Scary stuff...

Man, if they'd busted in on that guy he'd be dead. Scary stuff.

And in the heartland of all places, police everywhere are becoming more and more aggressive in their tactics. These guys are behaving like lapd swat. Wtf?

All that over alleged credit card fraud?

True, I'm looking to travel abroad this year and am going to apply for a passport next month. Wonder if my involvement in fringe subject research will hinder me getting one? Man I hope not. . .


Sorry, that was a bit off topic. But you got me thinking about it.

Have fun. My trip a few years back to Europe was awesome. Puts a lot into perspective. Safe travels.

Besides, I figure if we post here there is a mark in a file somewhere. It is all leading to one data center to capture and keep all data. Sounds like what another country did a few decades back.

Amerika.

Land of the free, home of the paranoid.

Being a member here is IMO a guaranteed way to get on a list. Then again so is just about everything else. I am certain someone will correct me if wrong; There was once an ATS member with an airplane that did not care much for the IRS. Kinda hard to imagine this site not having it's watchers after that.

No worries though I travel all over the world and have never had a problem. Although I made another list when I flatly refused to use the body scanners. After ten flights in ten days they were pulling their "inspection" gloves on before I got there.... Probably a big red flag that says "Girlie boy is afraid of a little radiation, come touch him special".

As I said in another thread, theres only one group of people who actively take to the streets to protest victimization.

This group being the inner city minorities, specifically Blacks and Hispanics.

They raise hell when one of their own falls victim to the police. And if the incident involves a slaying, forget about it...

For years their complaints and protests were dismissed. Now that the police have begun to terrorize the rest of America, its no longer a laughing matter.

But I have to ask, wheres the outrage among those of us who live outside of the cities?

Besides complaining on forums and to each other, I dont see any action... Why is that?

Its time the rest of us take some lessons from our inner city brethren, before things get even worse...

Isn't actions like this the reason why Americans should be armed? To protect themselves from tyrannical government and immoral law? Are Americans going to keep bragging about their guns or finally use them for what they were intended... to protect America from evil?

But hey, keep complaining to the government about trying to strip you of your right to bare arms even though your spine is too yellow to ever use them for purpose.

That's what I have been saying.
Most, if not all, LEO's ARE bad.
They may not all be participating in corruption and crime, but they facilitate it by not blowing the whistle, and in some cases cover it up.

They all know what goes on. There isn't anyone that is completely unaware.

That case recently where the officer was sexually assaulting people, falsifying reports, and planting evidence with illegal body cavity searches in Wisconsin. He was given only 2 years and the other 3 officers charged were barely given anything (one given a month or two in jail, the others no jail). We've come to find out the Sergeant, as well as other officers, had known since 2008. So they'd been doing it for almost 6 years. Also only 3 were charged with participation (they helped and in some cases held guns to peoples heads or held them while they were probed illegally), but there were allegedly many more "helpers" in the department. The ones charged likely just happened to be the most recent.

That is an entire department in on some heinous corruption.

Yeah.. unfortunately they came in like a gang and the man was armed. Had he fired (he would have been justified if he didn't hear that final "police" before the door was kicked in), they would have murdered him and possibly everyone in the house and then covered it up big time.

We would probably be hearing about a family of dead drug dealing pedos.

Well, there are people who would probably agree with you but what I'm saying is, people need to start from square one, get out there, protest, organize, let our voices be heard, demand that our voices are heard.

It seems to work in the cities, why cant it work for the rest of America?

The closest thing we've come to a restoration of lawful government was electing Ron Paul for POTUS.

Lets get it right this time and get Rand into office.

This is a sign to invest in door reinforcement and laminated windows. I'm going to do some research and find some products for home security to prevent the American Police Gestapo from unlawfully invading homes.

well actions like this are perhaps why Indiana is trying to legalize shooting police who do such things?

www.in.gov... link to text of law

(i) A person is justified in using reasonable force against a public servant if the person reasonably believes the force is necessary to: (1) protect the person or a third person from what the person reasonably believes to be the imminent use of unlawful force; (2) prevent or terminate the public servant’s unlawful entry of or attack on the person’s dwelling, curtilage, or occupied motor vehicle; or (3) prevent or terminate the public servant’s unlawful trespass on or criminal interference with property lawfully in the person’s possession, lawfully in possession of a member of the person’s immediate family, or belonging to a person whose property the person has authority to protect.

seems like this is almost a direct response to the no knock warrants and other skeptical behavior and if state legislature is passing laws like this they must be desperate to solve a problem.

the police are a terrorist organisation and soon we have will have the paid police on this thread to try and make us see that they were justified in their actions....

every single day the "us verses Them" mentality is being pushed and soon that tipping point will be reached and it will get ugly

Just remember, only ~8% of the United States is employed by the US government.

92% of ~300 million people, heh, 50%, would be enough to overthrow the countries current deranged government over night, if properly coordinated.

No knock raids has got to be the biggest and scariest abuse of power ever IMO.

That guy was hella lucky he didn't shoot at the cops. If he did, they would have killed him (without much repercussion to the cops). In his mind, he was just protecting himself, but the cops would not have cared.

Even if they goto the wrong house, they are justified in the potential killing of innocent peoples.

Just when you think we can't get much lower, we get proven wrong.
