I'm just reminding you that if you shoot a cop who has announced himself while executing a warrant, you'd better be able to convince a judge that you reasonably believed him to not be a cop, even if he didn't give you a lot of time to think about it before crashing the door.
Annoucing on the record in a public forum that you've already decided to shoot first certainly won't help your case. |
If I don't see the warrant, the cop and their badge... they are not a cop.
I am not announcing anything, I am saying that I will shoot home invaders posing as cops barging into my home. I don't know who they are until they
show me who they are.
Of course this will be moot soon, our family is moving back onto decent property where they will have to stop at a gate and approach the house only with our consent. (Parents and my family are combining homes soon and making it chair friendly). This is how I grew-up, I miss having more space and cannot wait. I also miss the security of a compound.
Most police have become confused about who they work for and who's rights they are protecting. They don't see that protect and serve on their cars any longer. The rights of the citizens must come first,
always.
I had a cop pull me over once and would not tell me why. He became very belligerent about getting my ID and reg. I asked him why he pulled me over, over and over again, he just kept getting angrier. I finally told him that I was going to leave if he did not tell me why he pulled me over. "Either charge me with something or I will leave".
Turns out I had a light out over my license plate, but that was not the real problem... I am white and he wanted to know why I stopped in the "neighborhood" I was in. I told him none of his damn business (I was looking for something in the car) and asked if I was going to get a ticket. He said no and get the light fixed. It was just loose.
He was just being an ass. Nothing more, he could have been polite, but did not feel I had any rights... this is common. I questioned him, politely at first. Regardless of that, he was upset by it, it should be the other way around. He should have just pulled me over and informed me of the light being out and that should have been the end of it.
If you don't see a crime, it did not happen... why I was in a certain neighborhood is none of his damn business. Profiling is a sickness we need to end.
Sad that the cops that do their jobs the way they are supposed to are today's best heroes, and those training them are teaching them to destroy what this nation was built upon.
