Id be afraid of them if they weren't so poorly trained.

[GunnyFreedom]

[RonPaulFanInGA]

They also have more liberal ROE than you do.

The media is saying they have the go-ahead to shoot Frein if he refuses to surrender, even if he's otherwise not doing anything. Guess he's already been convicted?

[Uriel999]

the funny thing is they all look like a bunch of boots though with all that gucci gear. Why do they have their nvg's mounted during the day? LOL, probably just to show off how cool they look. Even with counterweights those would hurt your neck after a while. Not to mention most of them are not wearing their kevlars probably because they are so freaking heavy...

Meanwhile.....


A county judge on Monday approved a request by prosecutors to let a grand jury review a 2013 drug case in which an arresting officer was the suburban St. Louis police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown last month.

An attorney for Christopher Brooks alleges Ferguson officer Darren Wilson "roughed up" his client after he refused to hand over the keys to a locked car parked in his grandmother's driveway, where police say they found drug paraphernalia and several ounces of pot.

"Wilson is compromised as a witness," said defense attorney Nick Zotos, who opposed the request by Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch's office to shift the drug case to a panel that meets behind closed doors.

It wasn't clear whether Brooks' made the allegation against Wilson before or after Brown was killed, and the prosecutor's office provided no immediate comment.

A police union attorney who has spent decades representing members of law enforcement in court told The Associated Press Monday that he represents Wilson, who is under a grand jury investigation over whether he used excessive force in the August shooting death of Brown.

James P.Towey, general counsel for the Missouri Fraternal Order of Police and a former general counsel for the St. Louis Police Officers Association, said Wilson may be willing to publicly discuss the case in the future. He declined to provide details of the whereabouts of Wilson, who has gone into hiding since Brown's death.

Wilson, 28, received a Ferguson City Council commendation for his role in Brooks' arrest in February 2013. Zotos questioned whether the honor was merited.

"We give trophies every day for just showing up," he said after the brief hearing in St. Louis Circuit Court. "If you play on the team, you get a trophy."

Zotos wants the marijuana distribution charge against Brooks dismissed because he doesn't expect Wilson, who did not attend the preliminary hearing, to show up in court.

What are the little piglets so afraid of? Do they realize that this is how they make us feel all the time? I don't support Frein (if he did actually do what he's accused of) but the cops should really look in the mirror and realize that objectively speaking they aren't much better than he is. And if they do in fact murder him in cold blood, they aren't ANY better than he is.

Firstly, I hope they never find him.

Next, just look at them... attempting to look all badass. How much would any of you bet against me that if someone popped a round off, most of them would wet themselves?

This looks like a group of dangerous sissies. Very dangerous.

Never underestimate the threat posed by such pathological ignoramuses.

You should be afraid of them precisely because they are so poorly trained.

Bet if I gave them my plates they'd start crying in under five minutes.

What pussies.

I strongly agree with this. It's more about affecting a perceptual shift than getting their boogie. Pushing the limits to stretch the minds of everyone to accept this sort of thing as mundane.

So far, so good.

Check.

Umm... not quite:


Deer hunter kills Frein.The independent,still allowed to gun tote, American everyman acting in lieu of a peace officer gets the bad man. Police then charge everyman with some heinous felony... murder... hindering an investigation... unauthorized use of a firearm... assault with a deadly weapon... breathing without a license... all of the above = win.


They were allowed to burn Dorner alive and get away with it.

Well, he was a cop killer AND a KneeGrow... makes him doubly guilty. I am absolutely certain Theye are convinced they should be able to burn him to death at least one more time. Try to keep up, OK?

[RonPaulFanInGA]

It'd be funny if a random deer hunter took care of Frein, and not the play-soldier police with their DHS-funded toys. Frein has a $175,000 reward on his head, so the hunters have motivation.

[TheTexan]

That 175 large...that's taxpayer provided, right?

Yep, so is this:


The police manhunt grew from nearly 200 officers by September 17[16] to 400 officers by September 22[18] to nearly 1000 on September 24.[19] Officers included police, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.[18] Equipment included more than 40 police vehicles,[20] armored BearCats,[17] at least four helicopters with thermal imaging equipment, and a 13,000-pound, $245,000 Ring Power armored siege vehicle dubbed "The Rook" described as "six tons of pure responsive force", equipped with an armored platform that can be elevated up to 11 feet to deploy snipers, featuring "bat wing doors", gun ports with sighting windows made of bulletproof glass, and capable of fitting equipment for breaching fortified structures.

I'd estimate that the entire manhunt is currently costing about 500k-1mill per day. But it's clearly for a good cause. Can't have cop-killers just running about, or other people may get "ideas", and we wouldn't want that.

(Bolded part is my emphasis, because "The Rook" just sounds fucking sweet.)

It's totally legit.

Yes. The FBI is offering the reward.

Also taxpayer-funded is this whole search. All the over-time pay for 1,000 police officers, all the fancy equipment, the impending lawsuits (http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2014/09/our_take_your_take_lawyer_soli.html) for Fourth Amendment violations to the residents around the area...everything.

I will have the laugh of a lifetime when the day comes they face someone with a 416 Rigby and he starts punching holes through the armor. My friend shot a 1" steel plate at 150 yards. The plate flew 75 feet and was penetrated to better than 7/8. Had the plate been secured, the 350 gr. slug would have gone right through with no complaints. It will be interesting to watch these pansies giving teary-eyed interviews to the media as they describe the hell from which they managed to emerge with their lives... Oh, the humanity!

As a side note, if all they wanted to do was to look into people's upstairs windows, they could have just used a periscope. Or a camera on a stick. But that would just look a creepy pervert trying to spy on people.

At least doing it this way, it's 100% clear they are spying on you for your protection. Much better.

I'm sure the brave police are more than happy to accept that risk to their own lives, to help save the taxpayer some money.

Here's an article alleging that the police have found two pipe bombs that Frein could have created (it has pictures of the devices):

http://abcnews.go.com/US/eric-frein-manhunt-finds-fully-functional-pipe-bombs/story?id=25865819

Best tidbit in my opinion:



"These devices are consistent with Frein's non-confrontational and gutless efforts to kill and injure law enforcement from a distance," Bivens said.


How badly I wish to pull up a list of the thousands of times police officers have been "gutless" and filled their victims full of lead because they had a Wiimote in their hands or because they were reaching for their walking cane or because they were getting their wallet to show their ID.

Fuck the police.
