SWAT Teams Are Used As Much as 80,000 Times a Year in the USA. WHY?

Standing Armies In Our Midst

Americans have long maintained that a man’s home is his castle and that he has the right to defend it from unlawful intruders. Unfortunately, that right is rapidly disappearing. Over the last 45 years, America has seen a disturbing militarization of its civilian law enforcement, along with a dramatic and unsettling rise in the use of paramilitary police units (most commonly called Special Weapons and Tactics, or SWAT) for routine police work. The most common use of SWAT teams today is to serve narcotics warrants, usually with forced, unannounced entry into the home.

The reason I am writing this is because recently Bryan Malinowski was MURDERED by a SWAT team from the ATF. But that is starting to look like a common MO with that group of tyrannical law enforcers. And it started to make me think, how many more people are considered guilty until they prove themselves innocent are being subjected to a real life version of Judge Dredd? Bryan’s claimed “crime” was buying and selling firearms without permission of the vaunted ATF. The problem is that they didn’t even make the slightest attempt to get him to stop or “license up” for what he was doing. You know, maybe stop by his OFFICE at the Little Rock Airport which he was the executive director of, and say, “Bryan, we’ve been watching your activity at gun shows lately and feel you really should get a license.” To which Bryan could have responded by getting one, refusing one and stopping dealing the way he had been, or outright tell them to go fuck off and at that point…well, you can only imagine because those boys surely won’t like that answer. How would I know? Because a personal friend of mine who recently passed told them that and his boy was shot in the back and his wife in the head for being that belligerent. He had the AUDACITY to cut a shot gun off below the “legal length” of 18” and was told he had to agree to be a snitch on a group called the Aryan Nations that he had attended a few meetings at. Being someone with a bit of integrity, he told them exactly was I said above. And yes, that was all about the raid on the Weaver family that left his son dead and his wife dead. That meant that because a $200 tax hadn’t been paid his wife and son were murdered. Gee, I wonder if death for not paying a $200 tax is a violation of the 8th Amendment? I wonder why that amendment isn’t brought up more often?

Eighth Amendment, amendment (1791) to the Constitution of the United States, part of the Bill of Rights, that limits the sanctions that may be imposed by the criminal justice system on those accused or convicted of criminal behaviour. It contains three clauses, which limit the amount of bail associated with a criminal infraction, the fines that may be imposed, and also the punishments that may be inflicted.

The Eighth Amendment comes almost verbatim from the English Bill of Rights (1689). The Eighth Amendment’s text reads: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” In comparison, the English Bill of Rights a century earlier states: “That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

These incidents certainly aren’t isolated. The Branch Davidian Church was raided by and ATF Swat team could have been avoided by simply arresting David Koresh while he was out jogging.

On February 28, 1993, some 80 agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) raided a religious compound at Mount Carmel, near Waco, Texas, after receiving reports that the Branch Davidians and their leader, David Koresh, were violating federal firearms regulations. ANY firearms regulations are a violation of the 2nd amendment! C.L.

After four ATF agents and six Davidians were killed in the gun battle that followed, a cease-fire was arranged, and nearly 900 law enforcement officials eventually surrounded the compound, including hostage negotiators and rescue teams from the Federal Bureau of Investigation

A 51-day standoff ensued between the group and federal agents that ended on April 19, 1993, when the religious group’s Church building near Waco, Texas, was destroyed in a fire. Nearly 80 people were killed. And of course it was THEIR fault.

When I was on a job in Stevens County Washington back in the 1990’s with a friend doing a remodel on a house when two men drove up in a car. They came into the house looking for my friend and I asked who they were and they claimed to be “friends”. Yeah, right. They got him to go outside with him and from the second floor I noticed that one of them had the letters A.T.F. on a shirt underneath the one he was wearing. I was immediately disturbed by that wondering what the heck ATF was doing talking to my friend and why he looked so shook up. So I told my son and his daughter who were playing by the creek to get in the van. And then I approached the three of them and asked what they were doing there and they said that they had an informant claim my friend had “machine guns” that he had been practicing with along with other people at a recent birthday party. It turned out that one of the guests had brought her brother who turned out to be some nut case that made the story up so that he could get an informant fee and use it to go back to San Diego. So while my friend and I were working they had an ATF SWAT team raid his house, take his wife out in the front yard and handcuffed her while their baby was in a bathtub filling up with water, and had also handcuffed a man visiting from Canada.

The ATF confiscated an HK91 belonging to my friend as well as an AR15 varmint rifle that belonged to me. They claimed they had to confiscate it because there were parts that they had to check to make sure it was “legal”. I did get it back eventually. Did they need to do a SWAT raid on a woman and a couple of kids? I think not. The informant had simply made up crap they followed as if it was the truth. His name wasn’t even on the warrant! And the two agents that came to the house we were working on? One was Herb Byerly the low life scum that had tried to get Randy Weaver to be a snitch for him. The other was just a typical brain dead zombie named Michael Springer. Two real sweetheart lying sacks of, well you fill in the blank. I hope worms eat their brains.

All the way back in 1971, we had the Ken Ballew federal raid on June 7, 1971, on his home. Ken had been accused of having hand grenades by an informant who was most likely rewarded for their lies and it led up to a SWAT raid by ATF agents and Ken was shot in the head, survived but was permanently disabled due to brain damage. Turned out the four grenades that were found were all deactivated and two were being used for book ends. Sound scary enough for you? I wonder how much THAT informant was paid for the BS he told the ATF.

In Tomkins County, New York, back in January 2015, as many as 150 police officers from no less than 18 different law enforcement agencies engaged in a three-day standoff at a family home. Their reason? To arrest one David M. Cady Jr., who had barricaded himself in his family's home to avoid going to jail for missing a DUI court date. Grabbing him while he was out and about never occurred to these highly trained high IQ individuals. I mean was he planning on staying in the home for the rest of his life?

And the part that really gets me is this all started with the “War on Drugs” which means that they are willing to kill you because you are using a plant that the elite psychopathic control freak PARASITES have said you can’t use.

So why is this going on? To PUT FEAR into the minds of the population. After all, what chance do you have against 100 armed members of a SWAT team coming after you for having some cannabis that hasn’t been deemed “OK” by the psychos on power?

This has to stop. PERIOD. There is no reason for it in a supposedly free country. The “laws” on the books that have no victim involved need to go away. No victim, no crime. If you’re on a jury, REMEMBE THAT and stick to it. Hang the jury or convince them to nullify the law with a not guilty verdict.

Where are we today? These few incidents I mentioned are a drop in the bucket of the 80,000 SWAT raids a year.

Probably one of the major reasons we need out militias back in force and effect!

Referred to in modern times as an individual’s right to carry and use arms for self-defense, the Second Amendment was envisioned by the framers of the Constitution, according to College of William and Mary law professor and future U.S. District Court judge St. George Tucker in 1803 in his great work Blackstone’s Commentaries:

With Notes of Reference to the Constitution and Laws of the Federal Government of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Virginia, as the “true palladium of liberty.” In addition to checking federal power, the Second Amendment also provided state governments with what Luther Martin (1744/48–1826) described as the “last coup de grace” that would enable the states “to thwart and oppose the general government.” Last, it enshrined the ancient Florentine and Roman constitutional principle of civil and military virtue by making every citizen a soldier and every soldier a citizen.

What do you think? Do we need them or not? I think not…except for very rare occasions of hostage rescue.
