re: Man Arrested for Gunning Down Cop Who Climbed in Through His Window at 5:30am

This thread is so fricked up

frick the police

Bradbury concluded that, confirming Donald Scott's fears, the L.A. sheriff's department conducted its raid for the purpose of seizing Donald Scott's property through drug asset forfeiture laws. Under federal law, the department would have been able divvy up proceeds from the $2.5 million ranch with the four other agencies joining in the investigation. Bradbury found documents in which the investigating agencies had expressed desire for Scott's land on various "wish lists," and one notation in which sheriff's department officials had taken note of the recent sale value of one parcel of Scott's land.

Holy shite.

I was trying to refrain from commenting but these articles really upset me. It's unbelievable cops can kill people and just make up a reason to justify the killings.

Glad I don't live in Philly. Surely you all understand that different states have different laws and different tolerances for law enforcement. If the OP happened here the homeowner would not be charged with capital murder because that is not the law in the state of Louisiana. You have 50 states to choose from and I assure you there is at least one that meets your requirements on law enforcement.

this might be a dumb question but why do this at 5:30 in the morning? Why not wait til say, 7:30?

Or why not just wait until he leaves his residence, pull him over for something, and conduct the search while he's not home?

If that had happened here (in NYC), you wouldn't be reading the same story. You'd be reading about how he had an illegal weapon and fired it, killing a police officer. Then you would read about how the heroic officers killed the homeowner after a prolonged gunfight. Also in the crossfire was his drugkingpin wife, also killed in the crossfire. There's no way the not-so-perp would have lived to tell his tale. Then we would have DiBlasio telling us that guns are bad, and that this is the result of reckless gun violence, and a result of fine police work.

Lol.

Sulphur, LA PD steals crap all the time, as does NOPD.

Asset forfeiture FTW.

LINK

Ever since police were alowed to profit from their busts (asset forfeiture) they have adopted an "us vs. them" mentality. They regard citizens at worst as the enemy and at best as prey to be looted.

You want to end these abuses overnight? Require all assets forfeited be donated to charity or turned over to the Feds to pay down the national debt. When the cops don't get to keep the spoils of their crimes against citizens, those crimes will cease.

Sulphur was pretty famous for asset forfeiture abuse. They've been on the national news quite a bit over the years. This is well known.

From the link I posted: (there are plenty of others)
A few years ago these forfeiture traps on interstate highways were getting a lot of media attention. Television news shows such as 20/20 and 60 Minutes aired exposes on forfeiture traps in Volusia County, Florida, and Sulphur, Louisiana.

Local police in these small towns made millions of dollars in profits by trolling the interstate highways and stopping travelers with out of state tags. The police typically claimed some traffic infraction, asked permission to search the car and got it, found no drugs but some cash, then brought in a drug sniffing dog, and after getting it to "alert," seized all the travelers' money.

NOPD just straight up takes guns. (Shrugs)
