The Daily Sheeple Sometimes on the news, you hear about a horrifying home invasion, during which a stunned family is terrorized at gunpoint by thugs who storm the home, shouting and waving around weapons.
That’s exactly what happened to a family in Des Moines, Iowa the other day, but the thugs who burst in just happened to be wearing police uniforms. They forced open the door with a battering ram, they had ballistic shields, and they were wielding weapons.
They must have been looking for hardened criminals, right? There must have been a terrible crime committed for them to burst in like that, right? Truly dangerous characters must have inhabited that home, right?
No.
They launched this attack over credit card fraud.
You read that correctly – lives were put at risk and property was destroyed over credit card fraud in the amount of about $1000.
None of the suspects they were looking for was inside the home that was put under siege, and none of the fraudulently obtained merchandise was present on the property.
Anyone who believes that police departments are not militarized needs only to watch this video to see the ugly truth for themselves.
The police claim to have knocked, but the video shows a different story.
It’s also telling that these fine officers who were “just doing their jobs” ripped out surveillance cameras so that their actions could not be filmed. It’s unfortunate for them that enough footage was available to make this video, which doesn’t really cast them in a benevolent, good-cop light.
Tragedies occur during raids like this. It was only at the last possible moment that legal gun owner and honorably discharged veteran Justin Ross, who was in the bathroom, realized that the thugs that had invaded his mother’s home were police officers.
“I stood up, I drew my weapon, I started to get myself together to get out the door, I heard someone in the main room say police. I re-holstered my weapon sat back down and put my hands in my lap,” Ross recalls. (source)
Ross already had his weapon unholstered in order to defend his mother and there had been one kick to the bathroom door, when he heard them shout, “Police.” It is not a stretch to believe that we’d be hearing about another execution by cop had the officers gained access to the bathroom on the first try and seen Ross with his weapon drawn. The officer and/or Ross would both potentially be dead.
Not surprisingly, the Ankeny Police Department has had very little to say about the raid that was caught on tape.
Ankeny police spokeswoman Captain Makai Echer says officers consider several factors when deciding whether to send officers similar to a SWAT team to a house to serve a warrant, or simply knock on the door.
In this case, Echer says, officers looked at suspect’s criminal histories and whether there could be firearms in the home. Of the three suspects that were present in the home, one has a violent arrest record for two assaults about 13-years ago and a domestic assault.
Another suspect did have a permit to carry a weapon. Echer would not comment on whether that played a role in the decision. She would also not comment on whether it was appropriate for a police officer to rip a security from the front of the house after officers had already entered. (source)
This is the police department of Ankeny, Iowa, and they are proud to protect and serve the hell out of you.

Best reason to hide your cams!!
How about getting a bunch of fake cameras from harbor freight, mount them pretty high up… http://www.harborfreight.com/dummy-security-camera-94030.html
and get the pigs( yes lets go back to calling a spade a spade) and catch them with the real hidden cams, acting like monkeys, swathing at the fake cams…
Or a redundant dvr that is hidden, hint hint. Why so many cameras, because they can, think about it, if not for them then you wouldn’t have seen the pig cover it up to hide their actions and its not like they were trying to hide their faces, there it was, peek a boo, now you see me now you don’t. Redundancies are such a good idea even the military uses it.
I sent this off to the PD of Ankeny…let us see what their journalistic response is…eh?
————————————————
– I recently read where your department has once again exonerated itself in the abuse of an innocent Ankeny victim.
– I understand that your officers and your Chief think is is acceptable to break into the home of innocent members of the Ankeny Community, without appropriate prior notice…destroying their home and attempting to cover up their crime by removing video cameras and images capturing the gross, illegal conduct of Ankeny Police Officers?
– As a local author who writes about police abuse, I wonder how as human beings you even can justify this action, or look yourselves in the mirror?
– I am working on an essay for a major American Magazine related to criminal activity on the part of LEO’s around the country…would you care to comment on how corrupt, absurd and criminal your department looks now, both to the citizen’s of Ankeny, as well as the rest of the world?
– Having been raised in a family of corrupt LEO’s, I understand the culture is to protect one another at all costs…lie, cheat, steal….abuse….so your Department’s situation doesn’t shock me…but I wonder what all you blue-clad little boys are going to do when a real revolution rocks the City of Ankeny, this country and when the Ankeny LEO’s become the target of the raging masses?
– What justifies such violent behavior on the part of the Ankeny PD… especially when you were obviously totally wrong about the presence of illegal persons or property?
– What justifies the destruction and theft of video materials that are not part of the original Warrant…nor are they the property of the City of Ankeny?
– Are you prepared for the millions of pissed off citizens who may now have been given incentive to chase down every member of your police department, City Council and City Government… …arrest , charge and convict them with treason…and then hang them in the public square.. while arresting and convicting their families, wives, kids etc…charging and convicting them with generational treason and hanging them…as out of control mobs tend to do?
– Just how much criminality is the City of Ankeny and it’s Police Chief willing to accept and defend from within an out-of-control group of LEO’s when “the people” decide they have had enough?
– Good thing that 2nd Amendment still exists…eh? As an objective observer…I think LEO’s in this country are going to be finding out very soon…what the purpose of that Amendment was intended….is your department prepared for that?

The reporter at the 2:37 mark in the video on the left side is a snot-nosed MSM reporter working with the police by making excuses for their excessive use of force by saying,
“Police always tell us reasons for why they do the things they do and anyone with a violent criminal past would make them enter that way.” (they never had a violent criminal past) and then saying, “I assume all of these people want to know, why do they have all of these cameras in the first place?” (as though it is suspicious or a crime to have cameras in your own home, but it’s ok for the government and businesses to have them)
I mean the damn reporter must be getting a nice pay-off to protect the police here rather than the people who did nothing by making the people look bad and the police justified. He never asks why the cops take the video cameras down or block them and only questions why they were there in the first place. Probably a question that his boss wanted to know so he can go back and give the answer to the police so they can change they can twist their report during the investigation.
And then they arrested the two other guys for other charges that had nothing to do with the search warrant just to try and find something but you don’t hear the reporter saying that. Why should he? He’s probably more busy trying to suck up to TPTB and get promoted. Sick bastard! He’s the kind of sniveling little twit that needs to be taken out back and smacked in the head.
