Nobody has written a hit song called “Fuck the Fire Department!”
They did, but - if you listen to it, you’ll find that your point still stands. :D
(I suspect the song is not actually about the Fire Department.)
Heh. There’s been case studies of that literally happening, but it’s always been one member likes fire too much, not systemic.
The RPD pointed out that an attorney for the Abbouds had released home security footage of the raid online, which the police said made releasing the body camera footage redundant. At the same time, the RPD claimed that releasing the body camera footage might expose confidential information about search warrant execution or damage officers’ reputations.
You busted in a door and pointed an AR-15 at a baby. Your reputation should be fucking damaged.
Raleigh police “wrongfully executed a ‘Quick Knock’ warrant”—meaning they kicked in the door before the Abbouds had a chance to open it[…]
This is just a no-knock raid. Let’s not pretend knocking on a door a half second before pulling out the battering ram is some magical third category of warrant: no-knock raids should be banned, and whatever the fuck these cops did should be considered a no-knock.
