Thread: Video of SWAT Raid on Missouri Family

Interesting they won't seal the borders or stop illegal activity and/or stop invasion of drug dealers, but they can break into someone home and do this

In February, I wrote the following about a drug raid in Missouri:

SWAT team breaks into home, fires seven rounds at family’s pit bull and corgi (?!) as a seven-year-old looks on.

They found a “small amountâ€

There are 100-150 of these raids every day in America, the vast, vast majority like this one, to serve a warrant for a consensual crime.

This is how the newly formed Nazi party treated Jews before Hitler declared war on Europe. When World War II started the "cops" went from firing bullets over the heads of their victims to firing them into their bodies and the Holocaust was born:

The 500,000 Jews in Germany, who accounted for only 0.76% of the overall population, were singled out by the Nazi propaganda machine as an enemy within who were responsible for Germany's defeat in the First World War, and for her subsequent economic difficulties, such as the 1920s hyperinflation and Great Depression.[6] Beginning in 1933, the German government enacted a series of anti-Jewish laws restricting the rights of German Jews to earn a living, to enjoy full citizenship and to educate themselves, including the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, which forbade Jews to work in the civil service.[9] The subsequent 1935 Nuremberg Laws stripped German Jews of their citizenship and forbade Jews to marry non-Jewish Germans.

Kathyet, sadly this is a story being played out all over America right now. In my hometown a few years ago, an uncle and nephew got into an argument. In retaliation, the uncle decided to call the police and tell them that his nephew was a big time drug dealer. One morning the SWAT showed and busted down his door at 6am. The nephew jumped out of bed to see what was happening and he ran to the door. As soon as he got there he was shot multiple times. No drugs were found, just one pot plant in his closet.

Also, I don't know if you have noticed that we aren't allowed to videotape or record police officers anymore. There have been SEVERAL cases just these past 2 weeks where citizens were thrown in jail without bail, only for recording police officers breaking the law.

This is our future. Excellent post Kathyet, thanks for sharing!
