Quoted: Quoted: Start lighting the mother effing LEO’s houses on fired until they learn to do things right. AH yes.... let's commit arson. It’s a shame that violence on houses isn’t treated with the same seriousness when cops do it, |

When one considers the staggering level of negligence involved in raiding the wrong house, it's equal parts frightening and sad just how rare it is to see anyone fired or criminally charged over it.

Quoted: All warrantless searches are presumptively unreasonable. And in these cases the police shouldn’t be allowed to reference the warrant in court since it’s for a different property. View Quote This is the problem with Q.I. The issue is not whether it was a 4A violation, but rather whether the officers can assert the affirmative defense of Q.I.... Those advocating for Q.I. are advocating for immunity where it's undisputed that they have violated the Constitution. Which under current precedent requires that they either made no effort to actually identify the correct residence, or were put on notice that they were targeting the wrong house, and did nothing. The IJ really does fantastic work. This brief is beautifully written. https://ij.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/FILED_2024-03-07-Wrong-House-Raid-Jimerson-En-Banc-Pet-FINAL-004.pdf |

They should employ pizza delivery boys to go with them to ensure correct address's.

If you think about all the planning that goes into a raid like this why wouldn't you at the very least use google earth and get a street view of the targeted address? Or even the day before drive by and look at it and plan from that?
There is no excuse for them getting the wrong address in this day and age. |

A Garmin GPS unit or Google maps and a smart phone are far more accurate than the multiple cops hitting the wrong house.
It's not hard to check one if they were not sure...... |

Quoted: “Still, when Karen and her family sued Lewis for violating their Fourth Amendment rights, a divided three-judge panel on the Fifth Circuit ruled that qualified immunity shields him from accountability.

Did they at least fix the damage they caused, without making the owner's go through hell to get it done?
There's been more of one of these, where the department basically said, "Our bad! Sorry about your property. Your insurance will make it right." |

View Quote This is why I have zero faith in the courts for the most part even up to the USSC, they sometimes do good but then like this, they are clearly for the side of tyranny. Another reason I will never understand the back the blue Bois, its almost like backing the new age gestapo, a bunch of folks in uniform who feel no remorse for tramping on someone elses rights because they aren't held to the same standards we every day people are.. yes there are some good cops, but even the good ones are questionable if they cant arrest their own boss for breaking a law that any of us would be arrested for. then you have these crooked judges and DAs who are basically telling every other cop and swat team that it is ok to hit the wrong house, and you wont get punished for it. We thought red flag laws where bad before, if these kind of BS raids can go unchecked, then how much worse will it get before the people have had enough and fight back? |

Quoted: I’m sure we can count on the SWAT officers who kicked their door in to back us when it’s time to oppose the Government. They’re likely conservatives, you know. View Quote I wish more people would wake up and see it this way, cops aren't going to be on our side, they are becoming the Gestapo new age version. they will happily trample your rights as long as they are still able to have their own and be treated as a class above the rest. look at all the states with anti gun laws like CA, was, ny etc, those cops will gladly strip you of your rights as long as they are exempted from those same stripping of rights. and alot of our military will likely be the same atleast with all these new pro woke minded, gender studies, dei and other bs programs they are shoving into the new recruits. COVID was crucial in removing those who would stand up and say no and who knew right from wrong.. if you as a soldier were willing to put a rapidly created random thing into your body because you were ordered too, what else would you do just because you were ordered too. The ones who had boundaries they wouldn't cross got booted out in one way or another.. similar to how the German military went through and separated those who would blindly follow Hitlers ides, from those who would not comply, and adding them to his political enemies list. |

Quoted: She’d be dead and it would be argued as justified. View Quote Atleast shed have taken a few of the kings footman with her, especially since those officers would have received no justice anyway. if I was her and I responded with force, I'd hope to take at least a few with me, maybe then they would really think twice about breaking into the wrong house when it results in some of the kings footmen funerals. honestly, the only way this shit changes is people start treating these incidents like a home invasion, because it is, while they may be uniformed, they are acting outside their authority when they hit a house they didn't have the legal right to hit. also Qi needs to be stripped away from judges and DAs more so then the cops. judges should be able to be charged for shit like this, knowing full well they are making a wrong judgment. |

Quoted: I live in Waxahachie. I have crossed paths with this guy. He is a total tool bag. One of those guys that lives on energy drinks, uses 'dude' and 'bro' way too much, gels his hair to make it spikey, believes he is a tactical god and because of this believes he is the only one who should have a full-auto. He also acts like he is never wrong, nor has he ever been. View Quote And the fact that "good cops" cant or wont arrest bad cops like this is part of the problem. breaking the law is breaking the law, even your boss should be able to be arrested and charged, including the DAs and judges who let this shit slide. the constitution is the supreme law of the land, and no one is supposed to be above it. This 5th court decision opens the door for other police depts and swat teams to be able to hit any house they desire under the guise of "we meant to hit this other house instead".. if these people don't get charged, then why would the next swat team or whoever that does another raid? what if they break in and the situation results in innocent deaths? those officers get to just go home to their families and act like nothing ever happened.. I used to be a supporter for police, but stuff like this, stuff like uvalde, and many other instances has me realizing that for the most part, cops are hired hit teams that can never be convicted of the same crimes any of us would be for doing even a fraction of what most of these cops get away with. |

Quoted: And now he can point to a federal appeals court ruling to prove himself right. Two things we should keep in mind about QI: It's a tool that the courts awarded to themselves without any legislative backing. It's a tool that has been so severely abused in recent years as to give convincing evidence that the courts can't be trusted with it. One might conclude that if the courts are going to abuse it to this extent, we need to pass legislation to unambiguously revoke it. View Quote You honestly believe that any legislator would back up something that can get them charged as well? I'm sure they enjoy QI just as much too or other forms of it. this beyond voting away. |

Unless and until idiot cops like this LT and his SWAT crew are held accountable in a way that hurts and deters them for fucking up so obviously and egregiously, there is no point in starting these threads just so the ACAB and the TBL dudes can go at it.

Locally, we had a new Police Chief that was into the high profile dynamic entry SWAT raids. The City Council had enough of his shit. They called an executive session of the City Council along with the City Manager to discuss Police matters with the Chief of Police.
The end result was the Police Chief had to call his wife for a ride home. The City Manager fired his dumb ass, took away all city property on his person, and had him escorted from the building along with a criminal trespass warning for all city buildings and property. The new Police Chief is not into high profile dynamic entries for SWAT. That is how you handle it in Texas. Officers still retain QI; but you have to behave to keep your Police Officer job. |
