Sounds like the raid was legal, planned, and announced. Was everyone in the video a cop, including the ones not in uniform?

1. Why was the video edited?
2. Woman cop's statement - pretty rude and she's probably a bitch, but ok.
3. Eating the weed - obviously an issue with policy, but I can't be for legalization and hate on the guy who might enjoy weed but has a job that has him perform raids. Even the Untouchables had a drink.

This is probably a 2 on the fricked up shite cops do scale.

These cops are a disgrace, not one person was shot.

Well, maybe if someone had gotten them a damn step stool...

I don't really understand what happened there. Why did they remove the cameras?

So they could eat the weed and play darts.

This I guess is a case for a hidden dvr secondary camera system.

1. Because it's long and much of it is boring.

All should be fired. They were clearly trying to cover their tracks by destroying the person's equipment and property. I rate it minimum an 7 on the typical pig bullshite scale.

I was listening to my inner LucasP. I might switch teams for the time being. It's kinda fun .

Seriously though, this is fricked up. The only difference between this and a drug deal gone bad is that these guys have badges and are most of the time untouchable. Not a bad gig.

Probably, but it was basically the same 10 seconds on repeat. I guess for effect.

True, at least the one who ate the weed.

While it didn't look like they destroyed it, it's pretty clear they removed it so they weren't recorded. The court order could have required them to remove all the equipment, but we don't know. Obviously they tried to take advantage of what they thought was an unrecorded situation. Oops.

compared to all the other shite that comes out daily? Shooting small dogs, man-handling civilians, shooting people? Ok. I assume there is nothing below a 7 on your scale.

It's become the sheep thing to do to look at every independent situation with the memory of all prior ones. Cops come from the population, which is made up of a large percentage of morons. Things like this shouldn't surprise anyone. Relative to what we've seen recently, these guys got high and made fun of a handicapped woman. Assholes who should be fired, yes. If they hadn't have done those things, or I guess played darts, which apparently seriously upsets you, than all they did was perform a court ordered raid. I don't agree with the raid or the bigger picture WoD, but it's not "sheep" thinking to not attack the cops who performed it without considering the fact that it was their job.

So in summary, hurting someone's feelings, eating weed, and playing darts makes this on par with the other shite that's going on. Sorry I'm not getting in line with the automatic OT group think of "frick those pigs" in this particular situation. I'll probably be there on the next one, or maybe not. I guarantee you will, no matter what the details are.

quote:

The raid was part of a search warrant obtained by Santa Ana police, who were investigating the marijuana dispensary for operating illegally in the city, Santa Ana police Chief Carlos Rojas said.

The Police Department sent a cease-and-desist order on Feb. 26, but the dispensary remained open even though its operation was not permitted, he said.

Police haven’t seen the full, unedited video and have requested a copy.

The edited video, Rojas said, raises concerns.

“Our expectation for officers is that they act professionally at all time,” he said.

Rojas said he has pushed for a rapid internal affairs investigation into the officers’ actions. If any wrongdoing occurred, they will be held accountable, he said. But so far, he said “it doesn’t appear to be what people are assuming it is.”

“I don’t think it’s fair to the officers to indict them based on an edited video,” he said
.

The officers ARE NOT on administrative leave.

Did they think nobody would notice they removed the cameras? We even saw footage from one of the cameras while they were removing it. Weren't the proprietors there? Why did they remove their masks before removing the cameras? Why were they even wearing masks?

There is a lot missing from this story.

Look how defensive some of you are. fricking rabid. Yes, oops. As in a sarcastic oops, like if someone stole someone else's cell phone and then posted selfies from it with the location function enabled. You would say "oops" in jest to say "what an idiot."

Are you going to be ok?

Why walk in peacefully and hand them some papers when you can bust in wearing ski masks and risk being shot as a suspected robber?
