You wanted a police state last election, now quit whining about it. Okay, to be fair, we all know the election was rigged and the ballots changed to a pre determined outcome. But SOME of you voted for a police state.

This isnt a new phenomenon, especially not in some communities. I think the digital age just exposes more of the corruption.

This didn't happen due to the last election. This isn't a partisan issue. This isn't a racial issue. This is simply punk thugs running rampant doing the bidding of tyrants and violating all rights of Americans, with no worries most of the time about facing any consequences.

Sheriff had a warrant for arrest for mom.

Family chose to not open the door, after verification from 911.

And things accelerated.

Thank goodness that cooler heads prevailed in the mayhem and no one was shot.

If that were the case it would be front page news. Instead, here it is buried in a thread on an internet forum.

Sheriffs have been serving arrest warrants since just about forever. Doing so at odd hours is relatively common stuff because that when people are home.

And you know this how?

Youtube was launched in 2005. It did not seriously take off until after it was acquired by Google.

People are using previously unavailable technology to film and post videos along with their one sided version of the story, any story. Bloggers appeal to people who seek to be outraged.


Too bad this family did not immediately call 911 to verify and open the door. and allowed the Sheriff to escort mama to jail. Instead, the drama queen resisted and whined about having done nothing wrong and how he's a college grad.

Correct. It's exactly the same thing.

And the pathetic part of this is that some citizens don't care about abuse of power and violating fourth amendment rights.

You must have looked at the wrong video. Or else you just posted lies.

Perhaps if they had opened the door after verifying with 911, the sheriff could have taken mama away and called it a night.

The family chose not to do so and the whole thing accelerated.
They had the wrong address. They are incompetent idiots.

I hope the family sues.

Events like this are why people hate LE and are arming themselves at a very rapid pace.

Hmm, when I was a child growing up in the city, local cop's were known as Civil Servant's.. and if me and some buddy's were in the street playing stick ball and a cop came by he would usually stop and make small talk so you got to know n trust them... it was all good..

Today'' the cops are ''OFFICERS''' (way above us tax payers) they no longer will stop to chit-chat, you are the enemy, scum... Militarized police is what we now have... So shut up slaves,lol
