SWAT Raids -- No One Is Safe

[merleisme1]

It is only inevitable our rights our being bled from us slowly

[GroddGuerrilla]

Fun fact: The majority of nacro-cops have ZERO actual face-time with anyone involved in drug-trade or use unless they plan on busting them.

It's the equivalent of plugging your ears and going LALALA with a gun.

Please, sign the petition.

The supreme court ruled that police could conduct no-knock/surprise raids because of the possibility that evidence might be disposed of before. In the Calvo case, a box was delivered to their doorstep that contained 30 lbs of cannabis.

Guys, you can't FLUSH 30 pounds of WEED...

(Which is why I call the drug warriors and the wimpy ass cowardly politicians DOPES!)

[omfgiamhot]

i read this book where it said that the only way to stop the flow and usage of drugs is to poison it...

[McSpic88]

and then poison innocent people?

um..no.

[omfgiamhot]

well ur not really innocent if ur doing drugs.. but i understand if ur forced to or accidentally..

[McSpic88]

Wait...so because I smoke pot..i should be poisoned?

So because i choose to smoke a joint every now and then i'm a criminal?

I work 40 hours a week and am a good, honest, hard working individual.Why should i be poisoned?

[omfgiamhot]

.. ur dying anyway..

just speed up the process.

lol. okay. im sorry. it was just an idea that really amused me. i dont mean to offend anyone =P

[Clifton240Z]

Educate yourself. Tobacco and alcohol are harder drugs than most illegal drugs ( Cannabis, DMT, LSD, ect).

[Sheryakahan]

drugs are not bad...its just what law makes them to be.Theres evidence thatt 90% of the big drug lords are backed up by the government itself.

The only reason its not legalized is because it will cause the illegal underground busines of government to flop.

[88arau]

they are going to put fiber glass in Oxycotin so people cant snort it

[BaliSC]

yeah we dont need swat some people in america are so stupid yeah we are going to knock on drug dealers doors seeing if they will open it before they flush the drugs choose another battle stupid hippies

[thccorp]

This is your battle as well, If you look into the reason for 90% of the mistakes, you will find a informant trying to save his own hide. Police need to do more police work and if its your house the informant says is dealing, you will be the next one. As far as drugs go, why should they be illegal, the law does not stop or create drug use, it only makes the drug profitable to the black market. making it necessary to use force to control, sound familiar? prohibition doesn't work.

[omfgiamhot]

how do you become a SWAT?

[McSpic88]

too bad they didnt send a SWAT team to Phillip Garrido's house when his neighbor called the cops to his house two years ago cuz there were little girls and tents in his backyard.Keep in mind he's a sex offender who cant have kids on his property.The cop that came to his house didnt do anything.

however, if the neioghbors called and said they saw people growing pot in the backyard...they wouldve sent a SWAT team w/o hesitation and Jaycee and her daughters would have been freed two years ago.

[McSpic88]

so yea, SWAT needs to get their priorities straight.we're not saying that SWAT needs to be abolished, they just need to be more responsible and focus on the real crime.

So before you act like a dick, try looking at this from someone else's perspective. Unless youre too closed minded for that. If that's the case then i really feel sorry for you.

[CERCARIA]

No time for investigation! Gotta go,go,go.Stomp those pot puffers! I offer my condolences to Mayor Calvo for his loss. Sweet spirits gone in a moment of useless violence. When violence is used on innocence it is useless. So,swat didn't initiate even the most simple investigation? Just round up the boys for some overtime and chaaarge

[turduckenn]

this is a waste.

[2603cb]

ok what are you goin to do when they do stop and your streets are filled with crime and drugs then how safe will you be?

[drcnet]

That simply won't happen. First of all, drug enforcement only moves the drug trade from place to place. You might get a temporary reduction in crime in one neighborhood, but at the cost of as much or more elsewhere. Secondly, if they are going to do drug arrests or searches, they can do the usual knock and announce. If there's a sniper or a hostage situation, send in the SWAT team by all means. But most of the time, don't use SWAT, it's abusive and dangerous.

[brigo234]

Oh really? And please explain how swat teams are preventing the flow of drugs? You cannot. In actuality, drug laws are the cause of the violent underground market. Swat teams have succeeded in one area: Destroying constitutionally protected civil liberties.

[2603cb]

your a dumb ass i cant stand ppl like you. your the person that no one can ever please and nothing is ever right. These men risk their lives every day for ppl like you and all you do is bitch about it.

[volkerwanderung]

OH YEAH!

Oh wait up...the streets are filled with crime a drugs...wtf?

[PhuckAllYouPeople]

@2603cb

Our streets are ALWAYS going to be filled with drugs, legal and otherwise, but let me ask you a question, no matter how strict you make the laws, no matter if you arrest 7 million dealers, there will ALWAYS be drugs running rampant on our streets.

If a drug user is not harming anyone in any way, then its there body, mind your own business prick, but would you rather have violent gangs and cartels selling drugs, or legally regulated stores that ask for ID and have safety standards?

[icezizim]

they shouldnt have the right to raid peoples homes and kill people without conviction wtf is this.

[2603cb]

These are men trying to help protect you and this video isn't giving you the hole story. they left out the part about all the ppl that are saved and the children that dont get hooked on drugs. and if you werent so selfish you would realize that they are riskin their lives everyday for you and what are you doin?

[drcnet]

Evidence is clear that enforcement does not reduce drug availability. The average street price of cocaine has dropped by more than a factor of five since 1980 -- lower prices = greater availability. Suppliers expect that some of what they ship will get seized, so they send more in order to fill the demand. Econ 101.

But again, if police are going to do drug searches or arrests, they can just do knock and announce, and not subject people to the abuse and very real danger of a paramilitary raid.

[steveo9001]

@2603cb rofl you're a tool. Drug prohibition causes kids to get recruited into selling drugs ... there were countless drug dealers in my school i say "were" cause im not in school anymore .... this was 2 years ago ... not much could have changed.

I got offered to buy marijuana on my way to school when i was 12 ... would this have happened if drugs were legal ? would my friends in highschool have been selling drugs in class ?

Please tell me what positive effects prohibition causes.

[akesling]

Maybe now the Mayor will DO something about SWAT abuse!

[kayleeusa]

No out-of-control enforcement is GOOD - ask the innocents who died... or their families. To use this kind of force to enforce pot laws is worse than ridiculous it is dangerous and uncalled for.

[drcnet]

The evidence speaks otherwise. Think Jarrod Shivers, killed because the basically innocent person inside, Ryan Frederick, was terrified for his life and shot because he thought he had to. Think Kathryn Johnston, who opened fire on Atlanta police officers in fear for her life. As Samuel Walker (TOP scholar on policing, he wrote one of the textbooks) has put it, "Bursting in on people can get you shot; it's a very risky tactic."

[WitchWindy]

I urge everyone who watches this to sign the petition.

[CSX122]

[WitchWindy]

The one shown at the end of the video.

[GunOwnerDan]

"Today we need a nation of minute men; citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as a basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom. The cause of liberty, the cause of American, cannot succeed with any lesser effort."

-- President John F. Kennedy, January 29, 1961

[heavyarms117]

That's a great quote.
