IA - Cops raid farm, tackle and abuse family and shoot their dogs. No arrests made.

[Anti Federalist]

This is one of the worst cases I have seen in a long time.

Over drugs and a (maybe) stolen X-Box, neither of which were found on the property.

Is this the future? Is this what you people want? Is this ever going to stop?

Or are people going to finally start to rise up?

Because to just continue on this way is un-$#@!ing-acceptable.

Family Says Police Killed Their Dogs and Slammed Grandmother to Ground

JEFFERSON IA—

Matthew Spaulding says he and his family were terrorized at their own home by police who slammed his grandmother to the ground and shot his dogs-- missing his head by less than an inch. "Told us to get on the ground. I got on the ground they put me in handcuffs," Spaulding recalls, "Then they threw my dad to the ground and my dog Sadie was right here sniffing my head. She was next to me. They shot her. The blood got on my face and then she took off running behind me and they shot her like three more times."

Tuesday morning, Greene County Sheriffs Deputies and Perry Police officers arrived at Spaulding's Jefferson farmhouse to deliver a search warrant. The Spauldings say they were immediately ordered to the ground.. even Matthew Spauldings' disabled father, Chris. "My son hit the ground I hit the ground but I didn't make it too fast so (the officer) jumped on the middle of my back, shoved his knee in and held a gun to the back of my head and handcuffed me. After they shot my first dog my mom come out"

"They had taken me to the ground," Chris Spauldings' mother Susan Mace says, "So I was laying with my face in the ground. And I asked them why they shot the dog because the dogs weren't close to them"

The Spauldings say after the first dog was killed, a second dog running away from the shots --- and away from police--- was also shot. "They weren't barking. They weren't attacking nobody." Matthew Spaulding says, "They didn't even give us a chance to put them in the kennel. We have a big kennel outside our house we could have put them in but they wouldn't give us a chance."

Perry Police are not commenting. And they're refusing to turn over any paperwork or reports about the incident saying it's part of an ongoing investigation. But we were able to get copies of the search warrants. One warrant shows police were looking for any kind of legal or illegal drugs. The other shows police were looking for a stolen X-Box video game system. No drugs and no stolen games were found--and no one was arrested. Chris Spaulding says he's furious his dogs were killed--his mother was ruffed up and his son was almost killed by police---all over a missing video game system. "Some of these officers should be fired because they kinda took their job too far. No common sense. No public safety when you got a kid on the ground," he says, "That's messed up man. Right beside his head. You could have shot my son."

"any kind of legal or illegal drugs"

WTF?
and a POS game. That does not require this kind of response.
I think a $#@! for brains lawyer could get a settlement off that.

[BattleFlag1776]

Cops again acting as "GIs vs the peasant village." Why not just go ahead and burn the house down as well?

I can't think of a settlement large enough that would make up for this.

Who are the terrorists again?

Ain't no amount worth it to me. It is gonna come down to an eye for an eye if these f*cks keep it up.

This is terrorism! This is what our troops should be protecting us from!

Should have just maced 'em...

[flightlesskiwi]

Should have just maced 'em...

i think these people are guilty of more than they let on.

enhanced interrogation would be appropriate.

[LeJimster]

I'm not a fan of guns, but I wish the dogs could use em. Blast some holes is those POS that like to hide behind a badge.

Once again at the risk of it becoming monotonous ...

...the police have NO DUTY to protect an innocent individual's rights and property. The courts in every jurisdiction throughout the US have universally upheld this position. Here's a whole thread on the topic:

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=228509

Professional police forces do NOT exist to protect the rights and property of innocent individuals. They were NEVER intended for such a purpose. They exist solely and completely for the purpose of enforcing the will of the power elites, and protecting those power elites against YOU.

In other words they are, in effect, an occupational army whose sole purpose is to oppress YOU. Period.

They violate the rights of innocent individuals every day. They routinely taze, beat and kill innocent people. They destroy their property, bust down their doors, toss their premises and all this without even an apology. They throw innocent people in cages to be abused and raped. They regularly destroy the lives of innocents. They make false charges and then lie in court. The list of police abuses and usurpations goes on, and on, and on.

The cops ARE NOT your friends, EVER.

I'll bump the Myth of Police Protection thread yet again too.

Suppose, just for a moment, that we lived in a country where judges refused to sign warrants for "fishing expeditions" by the police.

[Johnny Appleseed]

I would take the dogs to the judges house that signed the warrant and leave them on his door step

[AGRP]

Epic.

Might make a point. (thought likely would be lost on them)

but I wouldn't do that to a dog.

Subhumans raid farm, kill some family members.

Wow...we really are living in The One State. You people who believe in morality must stop it-yield to the unerring, perfect will of The One State. The Guardians are here to protect you. The Guardians are here to protect you. The Guardians are here to protect you.

It's such a shame that just 95% percent of the cops and judges end up giving the other 5% a bad reputation.

You are correct. I often forget there are those that really don't know.

If I was part of that family there would be nothing stopping me from a justified fight.

Great quote.

What is the context?

[thehungarian]

The judges who sign these warrants are $#@!ing disgusting.
