KNOCKDOWN!
My friend entercenter, over at One of Countless Millions, wrote a terrific post about the recent "knock and announce" decision by the Supreme Court. I encourage you all to go over there and read it. Yes, he is snarky, but his analysis is spot on.
Given I have a friend who was battered by the police in the Mississippi Gulf Coast merely for sitting in a car on his very property...I would say the knock and announce rule is pretty major. It prevents people from having heart attacks when police barge in on a person's home, it prevents open gun fire from erupting, as well as making sure someone will be able to get dressed before answering the door. It's a pretty important thing, the knock and announce rule.
Oh well, I guess it's a thing of the past, now...

I just deleted citisucks's comment, because I refuse to allow someone to call police "pigs" on my blog, or to engage in her simplistic worldview.
Citisucks, if you want to espouse "all police are pigs" thoughts, you will now have to actually prove that all police are pigs. I am going to ask you to show FACTS, FIGURES, and CITATIONS to prove this.
PS. Please see my post excellent post I hate those anti-freedom of speech people...but your comment has been deleted at my blog http://progressivesagainstdemocrats.blogspot.com/.
Citisucks decided to continue on in the old charade, and so I have to delete another comment. I do enjoy this particular line:
Facts figures ciations-yeah why don't you go find some you SUV liberal hyprocrit.
Just goes to show how little facts seem to matter, eh?
I left that last comment by Citisucks, because of the high amusement factor in it.
I gave Citisucks plenty of chances to have his/her say, and PROVE how the world is run by "SUV liberal hypocrits" and "corporate terrorists."
Alas, Citisucks continues to wage a war on thought.
So sad.
I will say this for the last time.
Citisucks, if you choose to disagree with me, back your disagreement with FACTS AND FIGURES, or at least SOME LEVEL OF RATIONALITY.
I refuse to be an enabler in your war on thought.
Dear Freedom Speech Hater,
Here is your citation (not that you deserve it). Of course I am sure you will delete it as well and them acuse me of not citing anything (something you should be very familiar with my the way).
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pigs "1. Pink thing that rolls around in mud and eventually becomes a ham sandwich.
2. Correct name for the so-called 'public servants' colloquially known as the police, for example the neo-nazi organization the metropolitan police who spend most of their time arresting people for DWB, taking bribes from drug dealers (a 2001 report said corruption in the UK police was at 'third world levels'), abusing vulnerable women (another more recent report said the uk police were letting down women who needed them most and noted a huge increase in sexual assualt BY the police on women who had turned to them for help), stop and search black people in inner city london, and causing death in custody but getting away with it because some idiots actually trust these fools and take them at their word.
'sarge, I hate women and want to rape one, I like beating up innocent people and I am a member of the national front.'
'well done son, you'll go far. the pigs need your sort. it's either that or join the army'"
Citisucks, you did not actually cite to a single allegation you just made. It is easy to make blanket statements. I ask you to actually CITE TO THESE ALLEGATIONS.
But I will leave this comment as it at least attempted to make a point.
P.S.: Funny that the only time you can at least ATTEMPT to make a point, it is filled with utter hate and bile. (and lacks a single citation)
Sad and pathetic.
