Worst one I ever had was an AF Major stationed at Dyess. Drunk off his ass and physically abusing female passerby at a concert. Snatched him up and his wife started hitting me, so they went to jail as a couple. Lots of "I'm military and you are not" going on. That jackass filed a complaint on me and continued to file complaints for three years afterwards. His command of course did nothing in spite several arrests for assaults against (usually) women. At one time the jackass had THREE pending assault cases against him. If you are USAF commander here is a clue. If one of your officers drinks like a fish, fights anyone standing in front of him EVERY weekend and gets picked up for smashing car windows afterwards, you should really stop defending him and take out the trash. View Quote I'm sure he was a pilot. If you're a pilot in the AF, and a Major, you are pretty much untouchable short of a Felony DUI with at least one fatality.

US Supreme Court agrees. Smell of Marijuana Enough to Allow Warrantless Home Searches? http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sc-dc-0113-court-search-20110112,0,7017935.story View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
US Supreme Court agrees. Smell of Marijuana Enough to Allow Warrantless Home Searches? WASHINGTON… Police officers who smell marijuana coming from an apartment can break down the door and burst in if they have reason to believe this evidence might be destroyed, several Supreme Court's justices suggested Wednesday.
In the past, the high court has said police usually cannot enter a home or apartment without a search warrant because of the 4th Amendment's ban on "unreasonable searches and seizures." But the court's conservatives said during arguments in a drug case Wednesday they favored relaxing that rule when police say they have an urgent need to act fast. Police had banged on the apartment door of Hollis King in Lexington, Ky. about 10 p.m. five years ago after they detected the smell of marijuana. They broke in the door when they heard sounds inside and arrested King for marijuana and cocaine possession. Last year, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled this search unconstitutional, but the justices sounded as though a majority will reverse that ruling. "Everything done here was perfectly lawful," commented Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia said the police can't go wrong by knocking loudly on the door. "Criminals are stupid," he said, and they often cooperate with police when they are not required to do so. They might open the door and let officers inside, or if not, the police can break in. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sc-dc-0113-court-search-20110112,0,7017935.story A dumbass cop thinks its a good idea, is WAY different than a dumbass military officer thinking its a good idea. |

The real world is very different than what soldiers are used to in the military. Sadly many of them have difficulties adjusting when not on duty or when they retire and leave the service. I have several friends who were in the Marines who i find it difficult to interact with now, everything is a competition, its always how they are better than civilians, theyre stronger, faster and smarter than everyone because they were in the military.
I just smile and nod. I guess theyve probably been through more than i can image, that or the military turned them into a bunch of mindless a$$holes. |

When we were there I never heard of us forcing people out of their home or taking guns.
They might have been partnered with the NG and were watching the guns the NG took. Quoted: On what I saw at the checkpoint I have no doubts it was 82nd. In previous threads back closer to when this happened I described the patches on the major and iirc some posters ID'd it as being NG. There is video of NG troops from iirc OK and IN going door to door confiscating guns.

Give us a better idea of what they were doing...city, state, activity, types of guns you could I'D...why in your opinion they had them...is this something that has been going on for a while with/without local LEO blessing...details man... After Katrina I worked private security down there for a few months. There was a military checkpoint at I-10 and Chef Menteur Hwy. It was manned by various military groups on different days. On one day when i was going through the military members manning it were wearing woodland BDU's, jump boots and maroon colored berets. The hummers that were parked at this location had iirc 20-30 wood stocked guns leaned up against them. Under neath the over pass was a picnic table. It had several civie long guns leaned up against it. I have no idea how they came into possession of them. I did not know which military group they belonged to till one of our members here posted about his time in New Orleans and the pictures he posted were an exact match for the uniforms I saw that day. Also they were stationed at the airport just down the road from this location. So i'm very confident it was 82nd troops I saw. The other incident I was guarding a power plant in Chalmette. One day a hummer pulled up to our guard post the man in the passenger seat who I believe to be a major and their group was stationed at the NASA Michoud facility down the road from my location. In the back of this hummer was a dozen or more wood stocked firearms. I don't know how they came into possession of these. Sounds like a massive violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Are you sure you werent looking at National Guard troops? Not that it makes it better, but Id be surprised about this. On what I saw at the checkpoint I have no doubts it was 82nd. In previous threads back closer to when this happened I described the patches on the major and iirc some posters ID'd it as being NG. There is video of NG troops from iirc OK and IN going door to door confiscating guns. |
