There is a lot to digest in this story.  A LOT !   

The Summary Version is:  IOWA Police execute a search warrant based on suspected credit card fraud – However, they smashed down the door in a “no-knock” raid replete with full battle armor.   Then the police tried to destroy the CCTV system which was recording their behavior.

When questioned about the ridiculously excessive “use of force” things get worse because the police justify the execution of the warrant, the extreme measures invoked, based around the principle the occupant was a legally registered gun owner and therefore represented a more significant risk to them.   <—- Think about that.

Personally I have come to the difficult determination that the police are now a danger to us.  We have as much likelihood to be victimized by paid law enforcement as we do criminals.   It has taken me several years to accept this ‘new-normal’ reality with police militarization; however, there is simply too much empirical evidence to dismiss the obvious.    This story is only atypical in that the owner had CCTV systems to document the reality.

Several reports to review.   Here is the original story:  Family calls Ankeny police raid excessive –  Justin Ross was in the bathroom next to his bedroom when a squad of Ankeny police officers rammed through a side door of his home. (more…)

He didn’t pay the: “may I please protect myself tax” !   So now the victim is a criminal.

Here’s the UPDATE:  LOS ANGELES — Eight Los Angeles police officers violated department policy when they mistakenly riddled a pickup truck with bullets, injuring two women, during a manhunt last year for cop-turned-killer Christopher Dorner, a civilian oversight board announced Tuesday.

Police Chief Charlie Beck and Alex Bustamante, inspector general for the Los Angeles Police Commission, independently recommended that the shooting be ruled out of policy, commission President Steve Soboroff said. He did not provide further details.

Beck will decide disciplinary measures for the officers, who were assigned to non-field duties during an LAPD investigation. Possible measures could include extensive retraining, suspensions or even firings. (more…)

GEORGIA – A suspected Molotov cocktail and several plastic bottles filled with gasoline and kerosene were found in the Midtown apartment of a Georgia Tech graduate student severely burned, police said Wednesday.

Saamer Akhshabi remains in Grady Memorial Hospital with third-degree burns over 90 percent of his body from the fire started in his apartment Tuesday afternoon in the 200 block of 10th Street, police said.

Late Tuesday night, it wasn’t known what caused the fire. But an FBI spokesman said the man’s burns were possibly from an incendiary device.

“At this time, we are assisting in furthering the investigation to determine how the male received the injuries and how the fire started,” Officer John Chafee with Atlanta police said.  (read more)

ALABAMA – (wkrg)  […]   Victim Mr. Carroll Jordan – A generous man to everyone who knew him—even lending his car to those who needed it.

“Tried to be a good neighbor.”

But that kindness was struck down when two men and a woman walked through his open front door, pulled him from his favorite chair, beat and stabbed him several times. One of those men was 18-year-old Robert Campbell who was arrested this morning after being found at a relative’s house. Jordan’s neighbor actually interrupted the crime.

Stories like this give me the heebie jeebies.   Especially when they have accompanying pictures of a lady who just seems so ordinary, yet is driving around with bits and pieces of a chopped up body.  {{creepy}}

Initially the politically correct and fearful authorities did not want to admit this was a crime of specific intent.   However, once they were going to release the bus video they needed to back-track and admit the actual motive.    If they did not admit the obvious their PC-ism would have been widely recognized by the public.

FLINT, MI – Police say a Mass Transportation Authority bus driver was punched in the face as part of the so-called “knockout game” that’s gained national attention.

The “knockout game” has been blamed for attacks in several cities and involves suspects punching strangers for no reason.

The Flint bus incident occurred around 6:40 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23, when a man was attacked while driving the bus.

The driver suffered several facial injuries, according to police. Another teen filmed the incident as it took place.

Police originally said the incident occurred because one of the suspects was upset about having to pay a bus fare, but further investigation showed it was a planned attack, said Flint police Capt. Collin Birnie.

“This was planned, orchestrated and filmed,” he said. (more…)

NEW YORK –  […]  “I hit a lady on the head in self-defense,” Baldwin wrote in a statement to police when asked about the Nov. 7 attack, according to court papers.

The women he attacked were between the ages of 20 and 78, cops have said.

Baldwin made similar written statements about self-defense when investigators asked about his attacks on Dec. 7, Dec. 24, and Dec. 26.

“I was passing by a lady using a phone and I hit her head in self-defense because of the way she looked,” Baldwin wrote of the Dec. 27 attack. (more…)

You can watch the video to see the familiar “knockout attack”.  

However, what you won’t see mentioned is the fact the victim is white and the perpetrators black.    There’s another version of the video available at this link.

NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA – January 29, 2014 (WPVI) — A Northeast Philadelphia middle school student was the victim of a random attack – video of which was later posted online.

Police now say two suspects have been arrested and investigators are looking for a third. They also say this definitely appears to be a part of the so-called knockout game.

“It’s a little disturbing to see kids engaging in this activity they thinks it’s funny,” Philadelphia Police Lt. John Stanford said. (more…)
