Did Walton and Johnson cross the line on No Knock Officers killed and Injured?

[Vermiform]

Dammnit. Just realized that. Only Austin can fix the poll at this point.

Or we can just learn to read **** before we click on it....especially on the interwebz.....

My excuse is that I'm running a fever. The little mugwump went to school Monday and brought the plague back home with her. "I can has strep?!?! Ok, tnx!"

I am also one of the YES votes. I misread the topic as being the poll question. I read, "Did Walton and Johnson cross the line" and voted YES.

I do not agree with Walton and Johnson, my YES vote was an error.

Dammnit. Just realized that. Only Austin can fix the poll at this point.

Ah-ha! I didn't vote!

Either of you two been involved in a botched no-knock raid at an incorrect address, or just read about them?

Thank 8lb jumpin baby Jesus it wasnt a high risk or no knock. But, yes, Ive gone to serve a warrant that I was handed on the wrong addy before. Not something I'll ever forget either.

The street addy was, as someone else mentioned earlier, very similar between the correct one and the one I went to. My partner and I rolled up, knocked on the door with a warrant and met with a very confused little old lady. We looked down and realized we had the wrong street name.

I fully admit where I f'ed up too. I looked at the addy, saw the street name and immediately assumed it was in the shitty part of town... the warrant was actually on a kid (early 20s) who still lived with mom and dad over in a nice part of town who'd been forging Rx papers with a stolen pad. Was a great lesson in fixing head/ass inversion syndrome as well as preconceived notions.

And you didn't taze that bitch? What kind of half-assed jackbooted thug are you?

Also, didn't want to let this one go unnoticed and overshadowed due to my fever induced clowning in this thread:

Though misguided, this was a very witty post. Well played, sir.

I heard it this am and was surprised he said that (it was John Walton, FWIW).

I think it's okay to be against no-knock warrants due to the mistakes that can and have been made. Perhaps there are better ways, under some circumstances. Sure- we can debate that.

But saying you're "glad"? Not me.

 

[JHenley17]

I think they're just saying things these days purposefully to be offensive and get listeners. Problem is, some people are like that and worse and take them seriously. I turn it on once in a while when the other shows ate having a bad day, but I quit listening regularly a while back.

Yeah, and I want to be perfectly clear that I am not Glad. For me, it's not that I'm against the PoPo, it's that I don't want either the PoPo or an innocent to be hurt if it can be avoided.

I don't give a slimy turd about some dirtbag criminal, other than the same rights that apply to me, apply to them until they are convicted.

On original topic of thread regarding what W&J said: I may not agree with what you say, but will defend with my life your right to say it. I forget who originally said that, but my point is that unpopular speech should be allowed, and everyone hearing it can then judge you for the a$$hole you may be.

On the expanded no-knock warrants sub-topic: (1) Put down bong. (2) Leave bong alone for at least six months. (3) Fill out application, pass all standards, hire on, graduate academy, complete field training, get released to full duty, and come show all the rest of us "how it's done."

The octogenarian overpowered me with her own violence of action and sodomized me with a rubber chicken, all the while singing Men At Work's, "I Come From The Land Down Under."

1. Cordon off " suspect" house.
2. Burn down house.
3. Officers go home that night.

Worked in Waco. Added benefit: Who cares if evidence is destroyed. There won't be a trial. Downside: No worthwhile asset forfeiture.

Don't want to see any cop get killed. Now the judges that would sign off on such a thing as a no knock warrant? I'd have to ponder on that for a while.

There is never a reason for a no knock warrant for entrance into a private home. The only things that would justify such would not give enough time to say warrant much less have one drawn up.

Damn! Sounds like a setup. Was your partner holding your legs or your arms? Was he hiding KY in a spare tear gas pouch?

Now you leave Men at Work out of this, Mister!

As to the 2 ass hats on the radio I wish 98 Rocks would dump them and just play music.

 

[VeedUp]

I herd a lil of it this morning on the radio, but it was turned down for the 10 minute ride I took with others to the plant, but what I herd was them say they got shot for being stupid and going in the wrong house, never herd anyone say they where glad, not that wasn't said but I herd very little and limited amount of the topic. I rarely listen to them, usually wwl radio in the am. I'm shocked people would vote they are glad a LEO is killed in the line of duty. I'm not sure how I feel about the no knock warrants, but the "Surprise, Speed, and Violence of Action" comment was surprising, isn't that a quote off of an ops gear shirt, isn't that a military procedure? Nolashootist how long have you been a LEO? if you don't mind me asking?

 

[MOTOR51]

They took Will Hayden down in transit....

Just sayin.

That's because HE was the evidence so not much chance of destroying it. I also had a TS clearance and really have no idea what difference that makes.
