So police make up “justification” for a warrant, the violent armed invasion of his home turns up nothing because they made it up the reason for the warrant.
Now they’re saying his making a video with their faces in it is making their jobs harder. Like dude you made your jobs harder when you commit perjury to get a warrant. You make your jobs harder when you smash down the victims door and swarm his home with guns.
If the cops didn’t want to be famous for violating other people’s rights maybe they should stop violating people’s rights?

But then when they returned his belonging, there was only $4400 (or whatever amount), and they're claim is "oh we miscounted. The receipt is wrong." That's not how receipts work Cletus.

- krapp 4y agoCops don't protect the rights of the people, lawyers and judges do. Police have no duty to protect the public, their job is to enforce compliance with the law and protect the state's monopoly on violence. And even if they did, they shouldn't get special kudos just for just doing their job. They get their paycheck and pension and all the free donuts and coffee they want, that's enough.
