Take a look at the picture.

That looks like .223 holes to me.

Rifle rounds, inside an urban home.

And if they killed a bunch of people on the other side of the walls, oh well, Mundane collateral doesn't even count any more.

Like the Greenland NH shooting, I'm guessing these cops lit each other up in a circular firing squad circle jerk.

Assholes.




Father: Raid on Petaluma house was confusing, terrifying

http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20120508/ARTICLES/120509560/0/FRONTPAGE?p=1&tc=pg

Victor Flores said he was in the bathroom of his Petaluma home last week getting ready for work shortly after 4 a.m. when an explosion shattered the predawn silence, followed by a scream.

http://www.pressdemocrat.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=SR&Date=20120508&Category=ARTICLES&ArtNo=120509560&Ref=AR&MaxW=445&border=0

He immediately thought his wife was being attacked as she returned home after working the night shift, Flores said.

In fact, dozens of federal agents had converged on their McNeil Avenue house to arrest their oldest son, also named Victor Flores, and search the rental house as part of an investigation into a 2010 triple homicide in South San Francisco.

The quiet neighborhood was awakened by loud bangs, presumably from flash-bang devices agents often use to distract a suspect as they enter a building.

Then the bullets started to fly.

When the gunfire ceased, three federal agents were wounded.

One of the family's two dogs, a boxer named Sassy, was dead.

The Flores' home was peppered with bullet holes, including one mere inches above the headboard on the bed where Flores' youngest son slept.

Flores, 57, said the May 3 raid was both confusing and terrifying.

“Nobody really knows what happened here,” he said in an interview this week.

The elder Flores said he and his son Victor, 20, had no way to know the intruders were Homeland Security agents. He said the pair initially thought the family was under attack by criminals and grabbed hunting guns to defend themselves.

It is not clear who fired first.

Federal agents said they encountered “a barrage of gunfire from an assault rifle” inside the home. They have declined to answer questions about their tactics that morning or the chain of events that unfolded inside the house, including who fired the bullets that wounded the three agents.

Not sure you can solve a homicide case if you go around gunning down the witnesses/perps.

That grouping came from a fully automatic weapon. Obviously it wasn't the people who lived there, otherwise they would be charged right now with having illegal weapons.

And I think I count 30 holes. Someone emptied a clip there. A clip that is illegal for peons.

Oh, it seems that waiting til' daylight and peacefully serving a warrant was out of the question.

Like...


The knock-and-announce and daytime requirements protect individuals against the fear, humiliation, and embarrassment of being roused from their beds in states of partial or complete undress. And these requirements allow the arrestee to surrender at his front door, thereby maintaining his dignity and preventing the officers from entering other rooms of the dwelling. The stringent probable-cause requirement would help ensure against the possibility that the police would enter when the suspect was not home, and, in searching for him, frighten members of the family or ransack parts of the house, seizing items in plain view.~PAYTON V.

Yes it was.

That was 30 rounds of automatic weapons fire discharged inside a drywall and stud home with innocent people living on the other side.

We already know what happens to a Mundane when they fire a "warning" shot.

So am I to understand you have no factual basis for your incredible statement? Which pistol round are you specifically talking about, and how did you come to the conclusion that a .223 round is 'safer' in a house? Perhaps one of your many ;)'s would have been in order.

+rep for the links. I am still curious how the .223 would have reacted in the first setup. I was a little disappointed that they changed the setup to "simulate hydrostatic shock." None-the-less very interesting stuff. While they may be 'safer', that is hardly justification for 30 rounds to be fired inside an occupied dwelling. Safer is kind of vague. I would assume when saying 'safer' you are referring to the amount of drywall it will penetrate? Well maybe in that case they are 'safer,' they are hardly 'safer' in terms of wound cavity compared to many pistol rounds. And 'safer' is still leaps and bounds away from safe.

05-11-2012, 08:34 AM
couple things -
DHS bought .40 rounds. Those are primarily for handguns, but there are some rifles that can fire it.
Its a magazine, not a clip. :p
It is legal in many states to own 30 round magazines... probably not in SF though.
It looks to me the pic that the other larger holes were shots fired from the homeowners and the bullet holes were cut from the sheet rock presumably as evidence.
Buckshot? Probably not. Look at that pattern, the wall would have to have been hit around 20 yards away. That's a big room. Also, buckshot does 8 to 27 balls, depending on the load - so the holes dont look to match, at least to not to me - but Im not a forensic expert by any stretch of the imagination.

I would also agree that if agents were wounded and they aren't talking about it or charging anyone that the other agents wounded them.

Sucks.

I Would think the MP-9 would be used more in the urban situations, but I guess a shorty 16 would work.

And another thing; why do they carry full autos in the first place (besides "cause we can") ? What good is full auto in densely populated, urban settings? It's like those goons 'protecting' Grand central terminal in NY during rush hour; what are they gonna do, spray a crowd of people with lead if they suspect that brown guy of carrying a bomb? "We had to kill you for your own safety!"


So stupid. They manage to shoot their own and still can't admit that their tactics are bullshit. Can't wait for the slow moving conga line enters the wrong home.

I would worry about .223's hitting objects at odd angles and bouncing all over the house.

The tests shown in the sources were all shots fired directly at drywall, 90 degree angle. What happens when the angle is 30 or 60? What happens when a wood or metal stud is hit at an angle or a metal electrical box is hit at an angle?

I will refrain from commenting on your semantics and will stick to the bolded part. How do you come up with the conlusion that those were the homeowner's bullets? Let's walk through this and see if I can't come to the same conclusion. Either one of two thing must have happened for this to be the case:
a. the homeowner shot at the officers, they turned around and fired into the same wall (same direction)
b. the homeowner was shooting through the wall on the other side, the police saw the bullet holes maybe heard the gun shots, determined the exact location and returned fire in that specific location

Neither sound too plausible to me. Counting the holes there are 29 (including the two that were cut out). I am willing to bet another bullet went left of the light switch and lodged somewhere else. They cut the bullets out to determine which officer's gun it was that wounded the other officers, as well as to see which cop is so trigger happy as to empty a clip, though I doubt this was their primary focus.

ETA: Upon re-reading it seems another bullet went into a child's room lodging near her bed. Perhaps this was the 30th shot? Hard to conclude with so many bullets flying around but there is a chance.

Lessons learned:

2. Twelve pine boards will not stop a .223 round.

3. Shooting stuff is fun.

He immediately thought his wife was being attacked as she returned home after working the night shift, Flores said.

In fact, dozens of federal agents had converged on their McNeil Avenue house to arrest their oldest son, also named Victor Flores, and search the rental house as part of an investigation into a 2010 triple homicide in South San Francisco.

The quiet neighborhood was awakened by loud bangs, presumably from flash-bang devices agents often use to distract a suspect as they enter a building.

Then the bullets started to fly.

When the gunfire ceased, three federal agents were wounded.

One of the family's two dogs, a boxer named Sassy, was dead.

The Flores' home was peppered with bullet holes, including one mere inches above the headboard on the bed where Flores' youngest son slept.

Flores, 57, said the May 3 raid was both confusing and terrifying.

“Nobody really knows what happened here,” he said in an interview this week.

The elder Flores said he and his son Victor, 20, had no way to know the intruders were Homeland Security agents. He said the pair initially thought the family was under attack by criminals and grabbed hunting guns to defend themselves.

It is not clear who fired first.

Federal agents said they encountered “a barrage of gunfire from an assault rifle” inside the home. They have declined to answer questions about their tactics that morning or the chain of events that unfolded inside the house, including who fired the bullets that wounded the three agents.


I live about 15minutes away from where this happened. It honestly seemed like they brought in an entire division to arrest this one young man. What is more ridiculous is that the man they wanted to arrest WAS IN (traffic) COURT A FEW DAYS PRIOR AND COULD HAVE BEEN APPREHENDED THERE PEACEFULLY. No one even fucking cares this happened where I live.

Fine representation ... I almost rest my case.

When ya planning to shoot a cop, Perecles ?

I suppose it depends on the situation....


The measure specifies that residents are protected by the state's self-defense law if they reasonably believe force is necessary to protect themselves from unlawful actions by an officer.

Indiana has a 'Right' to resist.

Or enforcing your 1st Amendment rights, or 4th Amendment rights - or even the laws of your state:


Sec. 39.03. OFFICIAL OPPRESSION. (a) A public servant acting under color of his office or employment commits an offense if he:
(1) intentionally subjects another to mistreatment or to arrest, detention, search, seizure, dispossession, assessment, or lien that he knows is unlawful;
(2) intentionally denies or impedes another in the exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power, or immunity, knowing his conduct is unlawful; or
(3) intentionally subjects another to sexual harassment.
(b) For purposes of this section, a public servant acts under color of his office or employment if he acts or purports to act in an official capacity or takes advantage of such actual or purported capacity.
(c) In this section, "sexual harassment" means unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, submission to which is made a term or condition of a person's exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power, or immunity, either explicitly or implicitly.
(d) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.

1. Are cops human beings who sometimes do bad things to other human beings?
2. Is self-defense a right or a privilege?

You seem to think that some people here want to go on a killing rampage, targeting cops, just for the hell of it, when that is not the case. Meanwhile, you defend cops who go around shooting dogs, the elderly, the mentally challenged, the handicapped, etc., just for the hell of it.

I survived a dog bite when I was a kid--a scrawny little 50lb girl vs. a 75lb German Shepherd. You know why the dog bit me? I walked onto his territory and stuck my hand through the fence. Guess what I learned not to do?

I guess by your standards, I should have gone back and shot the dog several times so I could continue trespassing, or I should have called the cops so they could.

My answer was apparent in my post...

Stop diverting ... You're the one who seems to believe that there would never be justification for using your second amendment rights to defend yourself under any circumstance if L.E.O.'s are involved.
Care to explain this belief that citizen's should not exercise their constitutional rights... The movement wants to know if you support the constitution.

I had a similar experience. I was on the border of the property outside the barbed wire fence. It's amazing how fast that dog could cover a distance and go through the space in that fence as if there was no fence. Needless to say, I didn't out run the dog and he caught me. Bit my pants (and hip) and ran back on to his property. Lesson learned? Never run from a dog, or any animal. It has come in handy many times since then. Unless it's a trained attack dog, all they will do is bark if you stand your ground (and if you let them come over and sniff your hand, they usually end up being friendly pups*). Apparently some people would rather shoot...

*Caveat: always let them come to you. Never back them into a corner.

And if you've paid any attention at all, you know my answer ... And it ain't shoot cops indiscriminately.

Start your damn war ... Some of you advocate that this is what it really is, so do your thing ... Just don't go blaming me for your stupidity.

Yep. Dogs like mine will bite you if you come into the house and you're a stranger. If you just stand there, she might come over and sniff you, but most likely she'll find something far more interesting to sniff and leave you alone. If cops burst into my house, they would get bit, but if it was a decent cop who knocked--the dog would be put away and we could have a reasonable interaction.

What? I love the often vague and meaningless phrases some members throw around. Perhaps before my time? In any case, like a good a jigsaw puzzle, once you think you have the right piece to the puzzle, it just doesn't fit.
