This photo? Really? Nazi Germany? Uh huh...

Longmont police talk Thursday with Jonny Barrera, right, manager of Mother Greens medical marijuana dispensary at 615 Ken Pratt Blvd. in Longmont. Police served a search warrant at the business to look for violations of the city’s code and, specifically, violations of the business’ agreement with the city outlining the type of business Mother Greens is allowed to conduct.

I wouldn't say Nazi Germany... but it appears a bit overboard for a code violation.
We are talking about a Legal registered business with a storefront, not a crack house.
Just my 2 cents

I'm all for no limits on peaceable assembly.


but when mexican high school students do a protest walk out and clog the streets for their cause, I should be able to run them over.

Nice example.

while I Don't agree with your solution (Publicly)
Their right to assemble has interfered with your rights.
Had they kept their protest in a safe area, it would not have affected you and you probably would not have been as involved in their protest.


They should have not interfered in the rights of others while exercising their rights.

and that picture he posted is clearly WAY after they came barging in to serve them with their code violation. (and allowed the photographer in)

c'mon, the one guy still has his BLACK SKI MASK on.

yeah, at least in Nazi Germany they didn't wear face masks.

They get off on playing the game. Overkill is always the answer but none of them have real balls. They are like a gang, just watch the vids of arrests they make on 1 person. Takes a group.

I blame popular television shows.

for every crime they always roll out an entire Crime scene unit, spend hundreds of hours processing evidence for a Mugging. Swat is ALWAYS available for EVERY Warrant. Each Crime gets its own Team to work it exclusively and its solved in an hour.
OH and CSI Field techs ALWAYS Charge into the house first, guns drawn.


Not bashing LEOs here
Bashing TV
Just so we are straight.

I also blame the current genre of cop and CSI shows. The public believes that is what is going to happen when the cops come. All big tech CSI. Spyder's post is an example. He took the bat, protected it with plastic. Why? He thought they would fingerprint (which they might) or do DNA (which they will not). He was disappointed in how the officer dealt with it. He was expecting more, but didn't know exactly what. His expectations came from TV. (Sorry, Spyder, but your posting was perfect for this example.)

They were executing a search warrant. How many people do you think you might need to go through a "legitimate" businesses records? One? C'mon. A little common sense goes a long way, Byte.

I was referring more to the ski mask and outer armor.
I'm Sure there were helmets and Pro-Masks, ARs and General "Storm Trooper" Antics off camera by John's Description.

But yeah... he looks silly standing there with the mask on for just discussing things

No argument there. However, I can make a guess why. He probably works the PD's narcotic's unit and either was personally involved in whatever caused them to obtain a search warrant or they have the MJ businesses under their narcotics unit's responsibility. The latter being a stupid move, in my opinion. I can tell you from personal experience of having to wear a mask when executing warrants at target locations that I purchased cocaine at, due to manpower issues. I would have preferred to not be a part of the search warrant executions, but things happen.
