This is What’s Left of Home After Swat Team Makes An Arrest for SHOPLIFTING

http://www.ringoffireradio.com/2015/06/this-is-whats-left-of-home-after-swat-team-makes-an-arrest-for-shoplifting/



Colorado homeowner Leo Lech is angry at the “paramilitary thugs” who blew up his home while attempting to apprehend an armed shoplifter who holed up in his home.

“This is an abomination,” said Lech. “This is an atrocity.”

A 9-year-old boy was in the home when the suspect, Robert Seacat, broke into the home. Rather than firing tear gas into the home or breaking down the door, Lech said, overly aggressive police exploded the home.

“There was obviously some kind of explosive that was fired into here,” said Lech.

When the hell is this government going to stop treating its citizens like the enemy?

Fuck this noise!

Unbelievable. I don't care if there are "good cops" out there. I don't care if the things we now see thanks to camera phones and social media is, possibly, a small percentage of what happens. None of this should ever be tolerated!

I'm disgusted.

The war on citizens is really getting out of hand. Why do authorities go THIS far for a petty crime...but have their hands all tied in legal knots when it comes to criminals like James Dimon?

Village police are mostly traffic cops, it was probably a fun night for them
