cliffnotes: guy gets package of weed in the mail, cops invade, trash house, find nothing.

it's not clear where the package came from at all, but cops clearly knew it had weed in it, they had a postal investigator make the delivery and kicked in the door right afterwards.

Alvin secretly captured the interaction on his cell phone, and the resulting audio is one of the only known recordings of stop-and-frisk in action.

In the course of the two-minute recording, the officers give no legally valid reason for the stop, use racially charged language and threaten Alvin with violence. Early in the stop, one of the officers asks, “You want me to smack you?” When Alvin asks why he is being threatened with arrest, the other officer responds, “For being a ****ing mutt.” Later in the stop, while holding Alvin’s arm behind his back, the first officer says, “Dude, I’m gonna break your ****in’ arm, then I’m gonna punch you in the ****in’ face.”

Officer Michael Vagnini, 34, an eight-year veteran, was responsible for the most egregious misconduct, prosecutors said, and he faces the most serious charges, including second-degree sexual assault.

Vagnini faces 25 counts over allegations that he repeatedly broke the law by rectally probing suspects after traffic stops, at times without using protective gloves, while searching for drugs. Wisconsin state law mandates that only trained medical personnel can perform body cavity searches on criminal suspects. Vagnini also allegedly forced suspects to strip naked after their arrest without authorization.

the officer charged with deploying the grenade didn’t understand that there would be a delay before the device went off. Thinking it was a dud, he dropped it on the floor next to the sleeping girl while he went to get a second device. Seconds later, it exploded, terrifying both girls and sending one to the hospital burn unit.

wow, highly trained professionals there. I mean it's a ****ing grenade, dude, didn't you ever see like ****ing looney tunes or something? How do you not understand there's a delay???

What seems utterly ******ed to me is allowing certain people to claim the authority to break into people's houses and drop grenades next to sleeping people. But wtf do I know? I'm just an Anarchist, and cops>>>>>>>>>Anarchists.

LirvA feels that arresting people for murder is violent coercion.

Also, I didn't want to add any serious content until you did, but just tossing this out there:

Theoretically, the "people" the "small group" are "kidnapping", "imprisoning", "harassing", "stealing from" and "killing" should be the people doing the "kidnapping", "imprisoning", "harassing", "stealing" and "killing" of citizens.

It's not as though it's a random thing.

Back to hilarious trolling.

Oh look. DBJ thinks the government is against murderers when it hires murderers and calls them soldiers. Novel!

Two brothers who shot and killed a sheriff's deputy have placed photos of the slain lawman outside the entrance of their farm, calling it a "warning" to other law enforcement officials.

The Associated Press reports that the photos show the "bullet-riddled bodies" of Roane County Deputy Bill Jones and ride-along Mike Brown, who were shot and killed on May 11, 2006, after arriving at the home of Rocky Houston to deliver an arrest warrant.

Sounds more like a dick move to me. Police, and sheriffs aren't inherently bad people, though the two slain officers may have been.

I've got a solution for this problem, but I wouldn't post it publicly.

I skimmed some of the comments trying to find out more details. Jesus, if anyone wonders why police get away with so much evil ****, just click "more comments" at the bottom, and read that list of comments.

DBJ, what is normally the procedure for delivering an arrest warrant? I'm guessing it depends on the city and crime? Is it normal for two guys in one car to go arrest someone with an outstanding warrant? The article is pitiful and doesn't tell what the warrant was for.
