This should be a death penalty offense. Abuse of government authority is bad enough. All they need to enter your house and begin 'discovering' things is a single fake call.

Kind of a break down of the fourth amendment to be honest.

Exactly. This shit is why I am so tired of the courts giving everyone who doesn't deserve or need it immunity.

We let liberals exist to conspire against every other civil right.

Expect any evidence they find whole doing so of any "wrong doing" they can arrest you for. It's just a way to get around the 4th. Stop licking boots

That's sort of the point, isn't it? The 4th Amendment doesn't have "Exigent circumstances". But people who were born before us and have already died decided that "yeah, the founders probably meant this" and in the process created situations where you don't have rights "to keep us safe".

Yeah, imagine you're home, armed, as you lawfully and morally can be. Cops break down your door, they got a warrant after all. You have no clue, aren't expecting anything. Think it's a home invasion. Shoot at the strangers. Cops return fire. You successfully got the cops to merc someone for you.

Civil forfeiture.

It’s not just a violation of the victims rights, it should be considered attempted murder. Swat team breaches at other end of house, home owner thinking it’s a robbery is now armed. Either a cop, resident or both could possibly end up being killed. On top of a huge waste of town resources

The officer who fired his weapon and killed an innocent unarmed man was not charged. What an absolutely shitshow.

It will probably end when when of the "untouchables" is minorly inconvenienced by it.

Not that I advocate that.

They have their own police force. The actual police probably aren't allowed near their houses

It is liberty, justice, and class being discussed here. All public figures are fair game and discussing the potential (likely) consequences of the breakdown of trust.between the aforementioned 3 will likely result in civil war-level violence.

Nope. Increase it ad absurdum. Swat all the baddies. Swamp the swamp with swat.

Swatting should be investigated as attempted murder, because that's what it is.

He did form a literal war room with his buttbudies to try and in his own words "destroy" the Quartering guy. I imagine he would take Tim's betrayal a lot harder.

Watching him pretend like he was the first to take the red pill (instead of the last) and then having the nerve to patronize me makes my skin crawl. But this was dumb.

The video was really weird honestly. The police officers came in, yet the guy who was talking just ignored it as though it was some normal thing? Something seems off about this instance of Swatting.

He lives in the boonies of West Virginia. They all know who he is and what they do there. The police probably went in expecting it to be a nothing-burger. Think more Andy Taylor and less Rainbow 6 wannabes.

MMMMMMM I hope Tim fills a lawsuit to every single SWAT individually, so he can take all of their financial income. He might not be able to make politicians go behind the bars, but he can at least try to clear payhoes police/SWAT members individually. So many laws broken

I think Tim swatted himself to distract from the Jack Murphy BS going on

I unironically do not think SWAT teams (or the propaganda TV shows about them) should (still) exist.

There, come at me, “law and order” types…

Even in your country, they do FAR more harm than good. Just like here…
