Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I threw this out there a few pages ago and no one responded so I will again...
Does anyone have any information on the actual location and what the raid was really for other than the dipshit comments on youtube?
Neg, Kev. I do not. Probably didn't get an answer as no one does.
Here's an update from the local newspaper:Originally Posted by KevDen2005

This may be my ever increasing pessimism kicking in, but I have a little doubt that the pot they "found" was even his. It wouldn't be the first time cops jacked up on adrenaline planted evidence.
This pisses me off. They take someone else's word as truth, wait 8 days, break in and kill the family dog in front of the kid and they police chief says "Yep, that's what we do, we shoot dogs. We wouldn't have to deal with this headache if we'd just shot a person (based on incorrect info, because our power is completely unchecked)..."
Oh man, those comments are killing me.
Like the guy who said he notified PETA and Nancy Grace about the dog getting shot. Notifying PETA is just the same as notifying the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). Then that poster ended his rant with "nuff said!"
Yeah, I'll say. Please never post on the web again.
"There are no finger prints under water."
What this all boils down to is that it is time for the citizenry to stand up and DEMAND the elimination of 95%+ of "SWAT" activities by their local police department.
There is zero reason for these kind of raids even if was a serious drug dealer with several bales of pot in his basement.
This whole business of shouting "Search Warrant" twice at people that are dead asleep at oh-dark-thirty and than taking the fact that they haven't quickly and politely opened the door in 3 seconds to invited the officers in to look around (and maybe brew them a pot of coffee) as a pretext to kick the door in and run in shooting has just got to stop.
Its going to get innocent people (and dogs) killed.
Its going to get good cops killed.
Its going to erode the public's trust and confidence in the police and the law (which is the most dangerous aspect as that's one of the link pins of civilization).
Its NOT going to stop the bad people from doing the bad stuff.
Frankly I don't believe that Law Enforcement should be exempt from the NFA and the 86 FOPA closure of the MG registry either, but that's the whole "we need to demilitarize the popo" rant.
Oh man! I just lost my best friend last fall. That dog was blood as far as I'm concerned. I'll give it to the home occupant for not losing it. He made some wise choices in not speaking his name. It should help him in court.
I know the LEO policy on here but the vast majority of these type of LEO's are overweight donut eatin' want to be military but couldn't make it due to lard ass syndrome. These swat types are the worst. They may have their purpose but this wasn't it. Losers! I hope they lose a K9 partner one day or worse!
I have authority problems! FUCK COPS like these!
.. and yet each one of you would dial 911 when it comes to it. I am not on cops side -- but I would never generalized anything! The following is the press conference by the police chief btw...

911. BS. That's good for when you need a police report started. So they can start finding a way to blame you. LEO - lardass power seeking control freak that can't do anything else except abuse their power. Serve & Protect? What a joke. Anybody feel protected?

Well I think the planting evidence comment is a little out of control and offensive to all the cops on here.Here's an update from the local newspaper:

Next I am not saying they should have done this, however they may have had little control from whomever ordered them to do this. I also don't necessarily agree with the dog getting shot, however, I didn't see if the dog was biting any of the officers or not since it didn't happen on the film. Yes, I absolutely would be pissed off at any organization who beat down my door, and if it was a wrongful warrant raid you can bet your ass that I would be suing the crap out of that city. If it was me it would be known as Kevinville, MO after I was done...but once again, I have no idea what their warrant was for, and what information came before that. Those officers may have been going off of really good information to get the warrant, everyone here does understand that warrants have to be approved by a judge right?
What a god awful sound that poor dog made... My two boys(2 black labs) came rushing into the room with major concern. There must be another way to restrain animals... Ten SWAT members VS. 1 dog, shoot the dog. Come on gentleman.
