Tragic story of police stupidity and Constitutional violations.

This is a tragic story of law enforcement gone wrong.

The police botched a search and raided a mayor's house, terrorizing the mayor, his mother-in-law, and shooting both his dogs in the process.

The police lied about the raid in an effort to shift the blame to the innocent victims of their stupidity.

The founding fathers turn over in their graves when the government does things like this. The Constitution was designed to protect citizens from the government.

The 4th Amendment has been eroded over the years by the right-wing appointees to the court, who operate under the assumption that law enforcement should be protected from the rights of citizens. This is contrary to the Original Intent of the founders so it should be repudiated by the proto-fascists on the bench.

I would like to point out that the Constitution makes the people sovereign. What does that mean?

It says that when government goes too far the citizens have a right to defend themselves and shoot back. The Cato Institute offers up a good example of botched raids resulting in tragic loss of life.

Law enforcement has no room to complain about lack of respect when they do things like this and then lie to cover their asses. Basic police work would have prevented this, but they were more concerned about getting their adrenalin rush than in protecting the Constitution.

So much for their oaths.
