Don't know if it was necessary but I bet some people around there will think twice before harboring a criminal.

Reminds me of Waco ...........except without the fire .

That's pretty ridiculous if you ask me. I could see it in an "active shooter" scenario, but not a parole violation.

I have no opinion on it's necessity, but that tool doesn't seem very efficient. Needs a hook or something. It also seems like a weird place on the wall to start at. I'm sure there are reasons, just seems strange to me.

Was he staying at the residence, did he just run into a nearby house? Who pays for repairs? So many questions.

Love the English scholars giving their vocal opinions in the background.

Anderson. Grew up running the mean streets of Anderson.
loved it then, now I think if they build the lake they should flood the town. Sounds hash yes. Most everyone I ran with in high school have left the town. Most in the 1980’s.

As far as tearing down the wall undecided. i doubt many homes in Anderson sold last year for over 200k. 14 street does not contain those homes. Still to tear down the wall is pink floydian in nature. Sounds like ISP must have covid19 money to spend.

Between the article and video I just can't see how this destruction of private property is justified in this instance

and they gained nothing by doing so ......Looks more like trying out a new toy .
Actually makes them look ridiculous .......

Breaking down the front door and shooting the dog is so yesterday!

 

[hoosierdoc]

Looks like they were trying to catch top of the wall and rip the whole thing down

I'm not sure how this rises to the appropriate level of force for the violation.

Oh wait...... These are the guys that are into curb stomping for 2 over the speed limit.

Not saying the author of the video/news story is not being honest, but, do we know the author of the video/news story is being honest?

I guess I’m just saying I don’t believe anything I see or hear anymore.

These are honest questions, I really have no idea what the circumstances of this video are.

Thats odd. The news report I read said the guy they were looking for had nothing to do with the homeowner.

So I guess since he left his front door unlocked and "allowed" the perp to invade, he deserved it? SMH.

My statement stands, regradless of if THIS homeowner was involved or not it will still make others think twice, also did t say the homeowner deserved it, so shake your head.

So you think its OK that some innocent homeowner "takes one for the team" and is made an example of so that others may think twice? Thats f***ed up man.

So its OK of the cops do something to you that you dont deserve, simply because your neighbors wont do something wrong because of it? Are you really saying "the end justifies the means?" I'm going to stop before I Godwin this.

Where did you read any of that?

Look what I highlighted.

You yourself said it. (emphasis added) Whether or not he had anything to do with it, you at least implied you are OK that this happened to the guy because it will make others think twice.

Im hearing you say its OK the cops trashed his house because the ends justifies the means. His loss will (hopefully) be a warning to others.
