Recently Boise Idaho police officers made a no-knock raid on an apartment complex in order to bust criminals for illegal activities involving drugs.
The cops were there with a search warrant searching for someone with a history of violence and drug use – along with several of this man’s associates. The raid was done late at night: 2:30 A.M., with guns drawn and even a flash bang device used.
Unfortunately for the officers, and more so for the residents of the complex, these cops made a terrible mistake…
STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE TWO:
What happens when they raid the wrong address that is occupied by a prepared resident who defends his property! After all, it is a no knock raid. So no identification is given. It would be reasonable to expect a prepared resident wake up and fire on un identified armed intruders!
Yes. Police were NEVER intended to be judge, jury and executioners. They purpose of the Cons$#%&!@*ution is to limit the power of the government by LAW over us. When police swear oaths to uphold said Cons$#%&!@*ution, they are in affect swearing oaths to limit themselves and the PRIVILEGED authority we have granted from being tyrranical. The biggest problem guys is NOT the actual acts of tyrrany, but instead from where their mindsets come from. WE have allowed THEM to indoctrinate us into believing that their “fraternity first” (vs. community first) mindset and “policing” as a career are exceptable and even noble. And we pay them to oppress us. Bad economics and unhealthy – Here are some interesting facts and comments on police retirement and pensions. If you have the time, this video is worth listening too. About 14 minutes long.
POLICE, FIREMEN, LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PENSIONS ARE GOING TO BREAK US AND THEY DONT CARE: https://youtu.be/cx_utdHuFfY
I would empty the clip insure no breathing and under castle doctrine you were fearing for your life
Given that crooks sometimes dress as cops to get a split-second advantage during a crime, what’s to keep homeowners from mistaking legitimate cops for crooks when they do a no-knock raid, and shooting them? NOTHING. And that would be a horrible tragedy for all involved. Maybe the cops need to go back to KNOCK FIRST raids. They already have the place surrounded, so the knock really doesn’t give a real bad person any advantage over the no-knock, but it would CERTAINLY make a difference if the person who answers the door and reads the search warrant says “NO….’that’s NEXT DOOR, dude”.
Really, this is inviting a gun fight.
Give me a heart attack. So sad this happened but the cops were at least very nice and apologetic about their huge mistake.
Good men !!
If you come into my home unannounced there is a 99.9% chance you will be carried out in a body bag. No I’m not against police but I have trained my whole family to be prepared to shoot to kill if anyone breaks into our home. With guns in everyone’s bedroom it would be over quickly.
I hope someone lost their job and the residents sue. Lucky no one was killed. A cop or innocent person could have died.
I am no way supportive of no knocks, but atleast bpd did the right thing after their failure!
