Holy Hell!!! Another SWAT style entry...for late student loan payments?

BTW, I do think that every SWAT raid has to be justified. Innocence has to be proven in using tactics like that.

One set of rules for cops, one for the public? We are all entitled to our opinion, but innocent until proven guilty applies to everyone in the U.S.

This raid seems to be to seize computers and other evidence of this man's wife running a loan scam that got her a bunch of illegal loans. That could be some sort of criminal enterprise and a raid would be appropriate to seize that info. I don't remember where I saw it, but will post it as soon as I come across it again.

loans would be civil, but the wife falsifying paperwork for multiple loans is organized crime and is different to this civilian's eyes.

Definitely different rules. The Constitution protects individual citizens not state agencies.

The individual cops, sure, they're entitled to it's protection. The agency they work for...no way. They have lots of splaining to do Lucy....

Alright. I don't have time to deal with this tonight. This thread may be reopened, I'll think about it tomorrow. I think there are going to be a few changes around here. There is entirely too much emotional nonsense going on. We're all guilty of it at some point, and I apologize but, I think we've let it get out of hand far enough. It does no one any good, it doesn't solve anything, and worst case it alienates members of the community. We should be concerned about the facts, not media spin. Expect some changes and new rules soon, like probably tomorrow.
