No Knock SWAT Raids

[ieoeja]

28. Cops who raided my brothers house were a laugh riot.

House was empty at the time as my brother and his wife were both at work. But my mother lived next door and came running over when the cops showed up. She called my brother who told her to unlock the door and let them in. So she unlocked the side door.

Nope. Not good enough. They wanted to go in through the front door. Problem is, while the door was still there on the outside, my brother had walled over it on the inside. My mother told them that, but, no they had to go in through the front door. They never did explain to my mother exactly why this was necessary. It just was.

There my mother stood holding a door wide open as the cops unleash their battering ram. Eventually they manage to beat a hole in the door only to find the wall there.

So they give up on that and use the open door instead.

Inside they find my brother's gun safe. My mom writes down the combination and hands it to them.

They crumple up the paper and bring out the drill!


As you say, there was absolutely no point to anything they did except to prove that they could do it.


Oh, and no drugs were found. My brother was "generally" not a drug dealer.

To this day, the cops believe otherwise. I was in a cop bar when a guy who was proven not to have been guilty of a crime was released after two decades in prison. They screamed and howled about this man being let loose. All the evidence in the world didn't matter. They "knew" he was guilty. The guy who confessed after the DNA evidence proved he was guilty instead? Nevermind that, the cops "knew" the other guy did it.

Cops are never fucking wrong.

And don't you forget it!
