The military-cop types are "roughing folks up" in LA, too (of course, they're just mexicans and journalists and mexican sympathizers, so we don't care, right?).
I'm thinking all three featured home-destroying raids were narcotics related, certainly the second one was. I like the way they toss grenades into the houses first. That makes sure that any small children are nice and incapacitated before they charge in.
Ah, the vicarious joys of living in a police state.
Aren't you glad we can all just look the other way and say "this isn't our problem".
Well, I wish I could. The problem is my clients are the folks being kicked, knocked to the ground and dragged out of those homes, dazed and bewildered from the flash and stun grenades (and occasionally burned).
Plus, they put this crap on Tee Vee so that people A) get used to the idea that cops coming in like soldiers in Fallujah is normal in America, and B) get good and scared of the cops so they are obedient little sheep.

It's pretty easy to scare sheep.
Gah. Fascism is so creepy.
Very. Can you imagine our forefathers who fought for Independence being frightened off by any such tactics? Or the men who fell in Pickett's line?

I have forefathers in both groups, and on both sides of Pickett's charge. And family bones in Vietnam, enemy bodies in Korea and all across the Pacific.
If I have to leave my bones in some Dallas alley, stomped into oblivion by Jackboots or parachutist shoes worn by some fascist Blackwater mercenary in order to live up to their memory, so be it.

That is some sick shit.
And these are just search warrants where the police are supposed to just collect evidence that maybe a crime has been committed.
What the hell does someone do when the front of their house gets ripped off in the winter and the cops find nothing? And as long as the "procedures are followed" the cops are off the hook for damages.
This isn't just breaking a door jam and a deadbolt lock. These thugs are aiming to pull the house off the goddamn foundation with their grapple hooks and armored personnel carrier.

Really, after seeing this, I'd say we're about one step away from the JBTs just using an armored bulldozer to push over the house with the people inside, and then sifting through the rubble to find the drugs they are looking for (or the drugs they brought with them just in case).
When that happens you'll know that the programs where U.S. cops go over to train with the IDF are really paying dividends.
Yeah, they're all the rage now and getting more popular all the time. It's a great little scam: the cops get to spend thousands of dollars to learn how to be even more efficiently thuggish and brutal by a foreign military by day and then sip Pina Coladas on the Mediterranean beach by night.
Now let's be fair. The houses already had bars on the windows and gates at the door.
At one time that may have been indicative of something. Nowadays, when a trailer in the Dallas city limits lists for $104,000, I wouldn't say one way or the other.
