I personally as well as many of my immediate family have had my rights violated as well as physical and financial damage more times by cops trespassing than criminals. I guess it was my fault though since my parents never had enough money to get us to the other side of the tracks. If there is ever a situation I can’t handle then nobody with a badge would be there soon enough anyways. I’ve known a few people that while their house was being shot at the cops were down the road waiting for the shooting to be stopped. So yes stay off my property. Up here as opposed to Texas (my state of birth and 33 years minus mil service) I have to worry about brown bear coming through my door more than anyone with a badge. Rest assured though I can stop anything that breathes. I have nothing but love and respect for anyone that follows the constitution and wears a uniform. I got nothing but assorted metals in different shapes and sizes for anyone who can’t or won’t follow the constitution regardless of weather they wear a uniform or not. It’s a lot easier for a cop over here to refuse a unlawful order than a soldier over there. Don’t ask me how I know.
I grew up in and around Houston. I went to schools were I was the minority and even in middle school knew who all the gang members were. So forgive me if I sound a little jaded. There are situations were it would be expected for you to enter a house or backyard. You might be quick to admit that fine line is often taken advantage of. I’m glad you were able to have a normal childhood and hope you treat everyone as a person until they give you a reason not to. I know you deal with people that deserve it though. Pm me and I’ll give you enough info to pull up everything you have access to.
And as a interesting side note.. 2 years ago I had a flashlight shine in my window while I was home alone. I grabbed my streamlight and my para 45 daily carry, and shined right back. Then a knock on my door so I went to low ready and opened it. Saw it was a trooper and set it down in plain sight. Then we started talking. Turns out he was looking for my meth head neighbor (duplex) so I was eager to help. We talked for a while and I called him every time he showed up. A few months later I saw him on the front page news in a orange jumpsuit for underage girls. My neighbor had a list of underage girlfriends. At no time did he even reach for his pistol that night. It’s very interesting how cops interact when they know and accept everyone is armed.
actually not every police officer should be a police officer.. it’s a higher standard than the 2nd
It was unclear to me whether you were talking about your meth neighbor or the cop.Either way glad the Pedo is in an orange jumpsuit.
Sad but true.. but if someone is shooting in my yard without declaring they are getting shot. If they catch me in the wrong mood they still may be dead for attacking my family and/or livestock without a warrant. Things must change one way or the other. You can only do so much wrong hiding behind big brother before big brother has no authority or respect.
Agree 100%, except when it comes to sympathetic judges and/or juries handing out the sentence.
Give him a break. He’s probably joking with you. The Bible says murder is wrong. I’m not gonna get hung up on degrees or lat-longitude or any crap like that. Why should he? Or are you a .... lawyer?
Yeah no one has had property or other crimes committed against them, called the police and they did zero to help and the victim will never call police again.
