I hear she was at occupy Richmond went that went down!!

drogs?? haha
didn’t a call back (think you are missing a word here)

As long as the police had a valid warrant, these people are SOL. Also only a fool would invite police into their house, no matter what the reason.

PIGS gone wild

All you Cheney-Bush supporters, this is what we get. No more 4th Ammendment, no more 5th or 6th or 8th. The Republican controled gvmt under Cheney-Bush wanted the rights of the USA citizens and they have it and just like Social Security under FDR was supposed to be temporary, so is this here to stay. Get ready for the trains and the showers . . .

What are the San Jose police doing in Stockton?

Morgan, you are an unqualified idiot. This has NOTHING to do Bush or Cheney.

Typical Liberal mindset – blame someone else and never, ever take responsibility for your own actions. I suppose if Barry slips and falls, it would still be Bush’s fault, right?

There was no imminent threat, no one being held hostage, no gunfire, no shouting, nothing that would warrant the police terrorizing those people and busting up their home as the cops did. The police arrived, appearing calm, but when the girl politely allowed them inside, they went berserk.

While people sit hypnotized in front of the TV, I’m seeing many signs of a police-state rising in our midst.

morgan, have you forgotten this happened under Zerobama/Pelosi? Cheney-Bush are long gone.

Let me get this straight. She offers the police a chance to search her home to find a wanted suspect. They respond by destroying her house and the only line is “She was in Richmond @ occupy Wall street?” Where is your sense of humanity bro? Are you that much of a moron to equate the Hells Angels to Occupy? What a stupid stupid stupid thing to say!

The CA police is the worst – every county – the worst in the nation. There are few words to describe their BS, they will attack you if they don’t like you, if you have a complaint – you had better be the same race as the officer showing up. It’s like 1950′s Mississippi all over again. In this case, the Hells Angels, an Outlaw Motor Cycle club, aligned with skinheads, yes, well, the cops will be more on their side than lawful citizens.

Bush /Cheney? Maybe you want to check the current president, ms Napolatano et all?

Are Bush and Cheney still in charge? I thought that new guy was. O something. If he was against this stuff, he would stop it.

What are your smoking? Democrats are the ones wanting more government, more control, and FDR was a democrat.

Hey nimnull Morgan, FYI Tthe Bush administration has been out for three years now. Also this operation was by the local cops NOT the feds which means it was a state and county affair. Also FYI California and San Jose are the most liberal left wing state and county in the USA. Go blame your fellow Democrats.

morgan – NUT ALERT!

Just a reminder, Bush & Cheney haven’t been in office for nearly three years.

And before someone starts yapping about the Patriot Act…a second reminder, it was supposed to sunset, but Obama & crew permanently extended it.

Oh and IF there are ever to be “Trains and Showers” as you say, they will be operated by Progressive Libs, not Conservatives.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled delusions!

The San Jose Police Department must pay for the damage and add another $50,000 of added value in improvements to this family’s home, a home which they purposely trashed in total disregard for community decency. This is MINIMUM!

The only question should be whether all San Jose Police Dept members must pay or only these criminals who destroyed this family’s home and killed at least one dog.

The police commissioner and the mayor of San Jose could also pay out of their personal money. Not one penny of public money can be spent. It must ALL come from these policemen’s personal money. They can take a mortgage out on one or two of their houses. They can take it out of their retirement funds, or their personal savings, or their children’s college funds, but not one penny can come from the taxpayers’ monies.

.. and with or without a search warrant is no excuse to trash a home or put pets or children in danger. Why put innocent people in a jail cell? Oh I get it, CA has sharia law now. Those cops know full well what they are doing. San Jose should be sued, and should pay punitive damages. Get those cops retrained, if that is possible.Actually the cops should pay for the damages from their inflated salaries.

With or without a search warrant, a search must be conducted in a reasonable manner by police. Breaking windows when they are already inside the house is clearly unreasonable. The victim home owner should sue the police for trespass and malicious destruction of property in that the police exceeded the scope of her consent and acted in a hostile and outrageous manner.

I hear a ton of crime was committed recently against people not at OWS. So what’s your point you idiot?

With O’Bozo in office, this should come as no surprise. He assassinates American citizens with no regard to due process and this is hardly the first case under his DOJ that involved searching without warrants. Just wait till he sends the BATF to seize guns. Over your “dead body”? Don’t think they aren’t prepared. They will simply level your home. The media of course will report that you were one of those “right wing extremists” with a “massive arsenal” and on top of that you were “plotting”….. A few of those episodes and most people will await on their porch to turn over their weapons.

Why do you think the mighty Boa has warned you now for over two years that he must go BEFORE any sham election, the likes of which he is already preparing to suspend or steal. He continued even today to consolidate his power. Only God knows what will happen in the next year.

He wants to rule the world, with the world under sharia and he is using OUR military to eliminate any competition and our wealth to overthrow “moderate” governments and convert them to radical muslim states.

Mark the words of the mighty Boa…..

Al Goracle,

Regarding the Patriot Act, another thing is VERY clear. Bush wanted it with the intention of monitoring calls originating OUTSIDE the nation and being made to suspected terrorists. The marxists screamed bloody murder over THAT, but it took them NO time at all to “expand” the act. This is always a major problem when enacting legislation. You MUST be aware of what the marxists will do with it when they are in the majority. If there is any way to abuse it, THEY will find it…..

Next time you watch a TV crime program where SWAT teams bash down doors and go in armed to the teeth and pointing weapons, where there is no evidence of immediate danger (or even evidence that an armed suspect is in the house) remember this story. Americans are being desensitized into think that the militarization/thuggery of our police is OK and “normal”. It ain’t.

I am a law abiding citizen, but I despise cops…They are all on a power trip and it has to be a job attractive to the low IQ among us…….Have more respect for a garbage truck driver…

jagoffs

Not true, liberal! Even if they HAD a warrant, that does NOT give them the right to do ANY of what they did – they were NOT in immediate danger. And they certaintly had NO RIGHT to throw that woman in jail without reasonable evidence.

in this state they get 90K pension, free healthcare for their family for rest of life, after working 20 years+ tons of overtime. Plus a free car, gun, and all other perks that go along with the job. makes me sick.

Is this part of the “fundamental transformation of America” Obama promised? Smells like a socialist/communist state arising.

I’m conservative, support our troops and believe in small government. I also own weapons and believe in the 2nd Amendment. But, cops have been put on a pedestal ever since 9/11 and I for one, have come to the conclusion that they are out of control, have total power and are trampling on the rights of citizens everywhere. This is why we have a 2nd Amendment and it may happen in my lifetime that people get fed up enough to fight back. Cops are totally out of control and it’s time to put an end to it.

Ah yes, the ‘Jack-Boot’ gestapo tactics have now been adopted by US police agencies. And as long as you all keep quiet…….you may be next. This will continue to get worse as long as ‘elected’ officials are not made to account for the actions of their Storm Troopers………..basically, ‘home invaders’ with badges who can destroy what they wish with impunity.

My thought exactly. Isn’t that about 70 east of their jurisdiction? Where were the Stockton police when all this was going on?

copland

er, make that 70 miles east of their jurisdiction.

Hopefully, the San Jose Police Department, the mayor, and the city commission will all be flooded with complaints about this……..and then ‘voted out of office’.

Or, the citizens of San Jose can tuck their tails between their legs, bow to their Police Masters, and hope that they just ‘pass by’ your house.

You are exactly right. We live in an increasing police state. Some of these types of things did happen when George W. Bush was in office, BUT, I am reading more and more accounts of events like these under Barry Soetoro. This woman was seemingly polite and look where it got her! I don’t ever plan to let the police into my car/home or whatever. If they can supply a search warrant, then you should let them in. If not, tough beans.

There is a reason they are called PIGS!

Good point. But there’s as much chance the people who still are into Bush will push other pols to do something as the “Anti Gun” types will comment on the Fast and Furious debacle. (Did any Reporters ask Joe Biden about Fast and Furious’ effect on crime when he said crime would go up if Obama’s policies weren’t passed?)

This is predominantly a local issue, though feds may be needed if local pd gets too out of hand and the state can’t do anything.

Saddly (if true), they were reportedly crimes committed by and against people whom participated in the OWS movement.

I saw a house the “Pigs” went through looking for papers.They took a pot of beans that was on the stove and threw them all over the wall, dumped jelly out on the floor and smeared peanut butter all over the kitchen then threw clothes on top of that and walked all over them. They never did find what they were looking for because it wasn’t there . After seeing that, I never again felt bad when one of them got shot.

This is not an isolated incident. The local PD trashed a house in this area, on the assumption that a notorious cop killer was hiding there. It was his sister’s house. Ironically, she was the one who had alerted the police as to her brother’s intention to kill cops in the first place! The house, which wasn’t in such great condition prior to the police blasting it with tear gas, flash bangs, etc, was rendered unlivable. Net result…the city had to pony up $1imillion in compensation!

This is the new reality for Americans. Better get used to it because the courts condone these ‘lessons’ being taught to tax slaves.

Legally the cops are not liable. It is the new poiice state that is America. If the president does not obey the constutation then why do you expect cops to follow it? It is one step short of the government vs. the people and the Supreme Court is making sure the government wins. I leave America in 2 months when I retire and have no desire to return.

Here in Seattle the police often look like U.S. Army with body armor and digital camo. They’ll smash your skull into a concrete wall if you get on the wrong side of them. One young father is now a vegetable for life after getting slammed into concrete, breaking his neck. As expected, the cop was cleared of wrong doing and probably promoted by now. I think about that man and his near orphaned baby girl often.

Let me see, you vote for a state government that has no accountability and you expect the police to hold themselves to a higher standard…Really??? Obviously she hasn’t been paying attention to what has become the new trend around the nation.

NAZI’S!!!!

Welcome to the Obamanation police state. Zeig Heil!

I used to like cops. Now, not so much.

Welcome to the new American Police State, coming soon to your neighborhood.

The County Sheriff is the people’s LEO and we need to be very involved to make sure that they know they represent us and that we support them in their “Lawful Enforcement of Constitutionally Supported Laws”. I do ride alongs with the local Sheriffs Dept in order to be influential in the way they preform their duties. Without oversight the natural destination of unchecked power is absolute power. Be part of the process to keep your Freedoms Alive and Well!

Just remember that in this new police state society that we are entering, if you are not COP in full tactical gear then you are “little people.”

[...] (First column, 3rd story, link) [...]

Remember when Police Officers were honorable people? Remember when you could walk down the street, wave to a cop, and not have to worry about getting searched for acting suspicious? Remember when cops took an oath about “Protecting and Serving the Public”? Remember when Police Officers actually upheld the fundamentals of the Constitution? Ah the good ol’ days of Freedom are gone, they will be missed.

Why are animals allowed to roam the streets just because they have stinking badges?

We the People need to end the welfare-to-work program known as the Police Dept.

They will NEVER find your stolen property, NEVER protect you from an intruder, and NEVER earn their keep.

End their pensions NOW!

One thing I don’t understand. Why are San Jose Police breaking into a home in Stockton. Isn’t Stockton 60 or so miles away from San Jose? Wouldn’t Stockton Police be asked to do the raid.

I never heard of police from one town doing an operation like this unless it was an immediate emergency in an immediately neighboring town.

Only a socialist state can save America!

National SOCIALIST German WORKERS Party, referred to in English as the NAZI Party (socialism for the German ‘Teutonic’ Race), In reality though no different than the left’s socialism.

Like Stalin, for the white Russians, or Pol Pot, for the Khmer Rouge, or Ho Chi Minh, for the Viet Minh, or Mao, for the Han Chinese.

Socialist Gods that brought death and misery to tens if not hundreds of millions of humans.

Let us not forget our SOCIALIST God, Mein Lord God High Führer Obama, for America’s liberal elite and welfare voters on the dole.

Oh, but it will be continued by (neo) conservatives–they are the ones who got the ball rolling in the Bush administration.

Coincidentally, neoconservatives are leftists (Trotskyists, specifically) who infiltrated the GOP.

Shes lucky she wasn’t hurt or killed same goes for her kid and I’m shocked the dogs wernt shot.
Cops are the biggest most brutal gang in America, looks a lot lately like they are pals with the HA’s they sure act like it.

There are no “Police Officers” any more. They are all “Law Enforcement Officers” now. Shawn is correct. The county Sheriff and his deputies are our last hope for help…be careful who you vote into office.

YUP there was a day when the people that drew attention to themselves were spread eagle by the cops now in Tennessee you can’t go down the highway
without a TSA checkpoint

This is a reality based upon fruit and nuts in California pretending they understand more than typical Americans. Live in what you create. Police don’t attack law abiding tea lovers.

Miguel
I completely agree with you,mabee then we would start to see change.
If everyone would start to take actions against this type of police misconduct
instead of posting their opinions on blogs that too would bring change!

STAND UP PEOPLE THIS OUR AMERICA

Morons. Filled with hubris, they spit on the rest of us.

prejudice against the police is fueled by punks like that. I don’t like prejudice in any form. There are a lot of good cops out there they have a tough enough job with-out some jerks trashing a house and giving them a bad name. I appreciate the Stockton cops They cut their pay 25% and they still come to work and protect us. If any of them read this stuff thank you

Turn right and stop breaking the law. Become gainful citizen. You will begin to like the police/sheriff/marshal more. STOP BEING A CRIMINAL!

They are just trying to stimulate the economy… you know the construction business, the insurance business…. just think of how many people they employed with this act of violence.

“Power concedes nothing without a corresponding demand. Find the level of tyranny a people will accept and you will have found the exact level they live under.” – Frederick Douglass

I can remember being ridiculed as a “conspiracy theorist” when I predicted this kind of bullsh*t would become the normal back when they injected the words “homeland security” into you sheeple’s lexicon and you all took to it like a bunch of gibbering parrots. Enjoy your decent into police state squalorhood, you sophomoric imbeciles. And for ALL you jackbooted thugs…There is a special place in hell awaiting each and every one of you and here’s hoping that you ALL find it sooner rather than later!

Whatever happened to the idea of a “search warrant?”

And the police wonder why people call them pigs, make jokes about them, and show them no respect. If you act like a thug with a badge, do not expect any respect.

Excuse me…. Feds will not step in to “check” a local police department… Read about Quartzite, AZ…. Local PD has fired 80% of the good cops that filed suit against the PD and currently have them under house arrest. The PD also fired the local Mayor… How you may ask?… Go read about it yourself…

whack job dribble…Bush is gone…get over it…take responsibility for your vote.

Good F. Douglas quote. Except it didn’t go like that.

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
-F. Douglas

Same thing, but you shouldn’t quote others incorrectly. I hate myself for being this guy right now, but I had to do it.

I can relate. The same thing happened to me. My 10 year old son and I got arrested for shooting off Estes model rockets. The police were “alarmed” because they got a tip I had bought “salt peter” to make the rocket motors and because of 911 equated that to possible terrorism. They ransacked my house so bad it took over a month to straighten it out. They moved furniture from upstairs to downstairs & vice-versa & broke a bunch of it. They stacked everything I owned (which is a lot of stuff) into huge piles up to the ceiling, breaking so many things I lost count. Even though I gave them the keys to everything, and combinations to the safes, they destroyed the shed door ($500), Used a brand new axe that I had not even unwrapped and destroyed one safe (and the axe). Holes in the wall. Kitchen utensils, pens, scissors, and other objects were planted in my garden and in hanging plants all over the house and outside. It was so obvious that these goons were having fun breaking stuff on purpose. I swear, if I had paid ten Hell’s Angels to spend an hour destroying my house I would have ended up with the same result. BTW, $10,000.00 was stolen from one safe, thankfully they left my gold coins behind.

I used to respect the police, not anymore. I am a volunteer firefighter too, I thought I would get treated a little better for that. Heck, maybe I did. The police have really changed since I was young. They really have become a hit squad. One police officer I know as a friend told me he will arrest anyone he can for any reason he can conjure; he said it provides him with job security by getting people pulled into “The System”. This is really F’d up thinking and is not the same country I was born and raised in.

Cops will do this to your car, too, if you let them.

That is the perfect reason for saying “I don’t consent to searches” when the cop asks you if you’ll let them look through your car.

Repeat after me: “I don’t consent to searches”.

Once more, with feeling: “I don’t consent to searches”

She invited them in. Did you read the story?

> This is why we have a 2nd Amendment and it may happen in my lifetime that people get fed up enough to fight back.

I doubt it. Look at New Orleans. The cops disarmed hundreds of households, door to door, and NO ONE, not ONE person stood up for their rights. EVERYONE gave up their guns.

Lovetron….so an invite in means the cops, legally or morally, can thrash the house??? The home owner should have said NO, but many innocent people do what she did….and that mistake was trusting the cops.

Obama picked up where Bush left off…..it’s silly for you to say Democrats are the ones wanting more government, more control. Bush continued Clinton’s programs. If the last couple decades of both parties growing government and control (stripping our liberties)…..you still believe one part is better than another than you are truly a partisan voters that ignore history. It’s all about what team you side with….not their actions!

The police are out of control in this nation. We had better reign them in.

San Jose PD are overpaid and routinely underserve the public. I had a run in with a SJ cop named Tina Latendresse. I fingered the perp but she let the perp walk because it was too much work for her. Trashing this ladies house was is the lazy way to do business, real cops would have simply asked the right questions to get what they were looking for.

That gives them the right to thoroughly trash someone’s home without probably cause even?

If I did that as a soldier IN A WAR ZONE, in either Iraq or Afghanistant, I would be up on charges so fast it wouldn’t be funny.

The socialists have brought death to hundreds of millions, and misery to billions.

Learn how to spell

K9 > yank chain > bark > plant evidence – you belong to us now. All hail your police state overlords!

Sue the pigs.

A “search warrant”, as you put it in quotes, is not required when it is impractical to obtain one because of time constraints, e.g., hot pursuit.

The way out of this problem is simple: the city or whoever employs the police here pays to fix the house. Failing that, I never knew what the law was re liability for proper police action. (If the police acted improperly, e.g., no probable cause, that might give rise to a valid lawsuit for violation of civil rights.)

ha ha!! When you figure out how to do that Sparky, do let us all know. The most obvious technigue will land you in jail for life or dead but you know, there are many more millions of us than there are of them. Nothing will change.

Ah, more of life in the police state of Amerika. If you truly had GOOD cops, they’d get rid of the bad cops.

Protect and serve.
Hi, we’re from the government, we’re here to help you.
When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.

[...] continues on CBS Sacramento… __spr_config = { pid: '4e931d66396cef3e9e000181', title: 'Woman Furious After Police Trash House [...]

The militarization of the police began long before President Obama or President Bush. At a guess, the rationale began with the “War on Drugs” during the Nixon administration. If you go back and look at old movies, like the Dirty Harry series, or the Steve McQueen movie Bullitt, you don’t see the military uniforms or military style weapons or the SWAT tactics.
In today’s movies, nobody knocks on a door and serves a search warrant. It is all militarized, with fully armored thugs doing dynamic entry, breaking down doors and entering with automatic weapons. What used to be the rare exception is now the norm.

Why isn’t anyone asking why the San Jose Police are in the Stockton jurisdiction? Those are two different cities, separated by at least 70 miles. The Stockton jurisdiction has the police force to perform a search; I fail to see why SJPD is doing this! I would have told SJPD to ‘F’ off.

Moreover, when you let the cops in your house WITHOUT a warrant, you are asking for trouble. And just because they say they are looking for someone they still have to get a warrant! Oh yes, the cops will lie like hell to get access to your house. They have to, because they dare not kick the door without a warrant because they will be violating at least a dozen Federal and state laws themselves, and they can’t hide that.

One may ask, why the arrest of the woman? More than likely, they may have found some weed or something to jail her for.

LISTEN PEOPLE: If you give consent for search, and they find contraband, they can arrest you!! It is the same as a confession! It doesn’t matter if it is a car or a house, DO NOT CONSENT, no matter how many times they bully you with threats of arrest or verbal tactics that you must be guilty of something or trying to hide something! DON’T DO IT! Look up search consent on YOUTUBE!

And when the cops show up, SHUT YOUR MOUTH, AND KEEP IT SHUT.

Nonetheless, if they didn’t have any evidence, then at minimum, a false arrest and property damages law suit is in order.

One last thing: it is possible that she was placed in jail (in a cell by herself- not in general pop) for protection on Intel that her life was in danger. I don’t think the reporter is telling us the whole story on why she was jailed, by request of the police, or because he failed to ascertain why.

Why are they chasing after someone who killed a criminal? That was a public service. One less dirtbag on the streets.

This is a variation of the broken window fallacy. I detected the sarcasm, but people actually believe this line of logic, so I thought I’d explain why it’s wrong. It can be easily exploded by asking yourself this question: Why is it considered beneficial to have to spend a lot of money to end up with the same things you already had to start with? Wouldn’t it be better for everyone if, instead of spending money to replace things you have already purchased in the past, you could spend money on NEW things? For example, if you have a window which gets broken, and costs $100 to fix, when the dust settles you will have a window, but you won’t have the $100. Well, you had the window before, AND you had the $100. Now, you can’t spend that $100 on a night at the strip club or half an NFL game ticket or whatever else you would have spent that $100 on if you didn’t have to spend it replacing a window that you had already purchased in the past. Sorry, I just really hate that stupid fallacy.

That’s assuming there actually is a ‘hell.’ Though that’s an entirely different argument. I like the quotation on the flip side. Quite the extremist views I’d say….

So you think it’s ok for the police to trash an innocent person’s house? You have no sympathy for the homeowner in this case? You’re an idiot.

All they have to do is wait a few weeks and the problem would take care of itself. He DID kill a Hell’s Angel, after all. I wouldn’t be looking into any long term investments if I were him.

There are no good cops. I’m sick of that canard, “oh, they make the ‘good’ cops look bad.”

Please!

The good cops wouldn’t let stuff like this happen. Where are the “good” cops arresting the bad ones? The fact is, cops these days are taught to hate, fear, and hold in contempt the public at large. The separate themselves out, give themselves legal dispensations, and cover up for each other.

The entire legal system needs to be reformed, but we need to start with an out of control police force, nationwide, that has more in common with the Crips or MS13 than a real honest law enforcement group that seeks to uphold the law.

-Ken
http://www.LaserGuidedLoogie.com

and we wonder why so many cops are killed.

Read Glenn Beck’s “The Overton Window”.

You’re only looking at the individual, which is not stimulus. The individual doesn’t have the 100 dollars anymore, the window guy does. He’ll likely exchange it for something else, and so the economy has been stimulated by that 100 dollars.

Just because the guy with the broken window spent his 100 on a new window instead of dvds or a cell phone doesn’t mean the economy hasn’t been stimulated.

Having worked in law enforcement, I know the bad ones do their very best, to weed out the good ones. I’m out.

The police state is a true thing. I live in PA the small town cops are still approachable and I’m not afraid to say hello. The State Storm Troopers on the other hand are scary. They seem to walk above the law. If there is one behind you he is 10ft off your bumper riding your but making you feel like a criminal. They are definitely now cronies for the system. They make you afraid to even venture outside your home. I used to respect police too. Not anymore. THEY ARE NOT HERE TO HELP YOU.

With a killer on the loose as they say it is a good thing the homeowner didn’t just shoot the intruder police inside the home,because today who can really tell the difference between the good guys and bad guys?!. Personally I would have liked to have seen the departments mess crew get their butts tazed,stunned and zapped silly!!

you mean…how many illegals could be employed?

Nothing will change, and everything in general will get worse. You Americans love the nanny-state you created to make you feminized fools “feel” safe. Now just deal with it and stop complaining. Oh, and continue to vote in the same type of wonderful politicians that you keep voting for. Have a great day!

Its so much better if the window guy has my $100 to spend than I have it to spend?
Of course there are the raw materials and the resources to make them into a window…

Yeah, it is a real shame that the 10% good cops are being given a bad name by the other 90%.

Of course, the 10% don’t report the bad ones so they are at best accessories

No, he said the good cops “have a tough enough job with-out some jerks trashing a house.” In other words, he thinks they are jerks for trashing the house.

You nailed it!

F*CK Glenn Beck. His type are part of the problem.

No such thing as a good cop

Why is there always some cop lover that posts a comment stating how hard a job the cops have and how tough it is to be a cop. I find it really hard to respect any cops that will set on the side of the road and stop tax payers that go over 10mph of the speed limit or break into a house and humiliate the home owners family and damage their real property.

How to feel safe around police.

Actually there isn’t a way in San Jose.

Unless you read a boring book to fall asleep.

The effects of said book might classify it as a drug and cause them to tackle and taser you.

I used to repsect police but more and more they are the ENEMEY. This stuff goes on way to much. The CHIEF ought to be fired and the offices fired and the woman get a new home a Millions dollars. You say your crazy man. Maybe the populous will wake up when there taxes go up for getting sued by bad policing. GESTOPO tactics. We tell murders they pay the price let citizens pay the price for criminal policing the situations will change.

Outrageous, these cops are criminals who are just as lawless as the criminal they say they are after, I hope she successfully sues the San jose PD.

Sounds like the police were acting stupidly again.

Sure a lot of cops on this sight trying to change the subject to protect their own go back to work guys and gals you are not going to change the subject of outrageous cop behavior, by the way cops in my family pfffft. I respect(love)most cops these guys are renegades

I like how this conversation went from talking about local police to “Obama did it”

When it all finally collaspses into disorder and chaos is thiis the type of “policing” you are going to rely upon for your safety and that of your family?

I think not! Be prepared – when the cure is just as bad or worse than the ailment we are in deep kim shi…….

We live in a police state.

Why would the police even care if one biker kills another? To me that’s just one less POS living on this earth!

Every da– one of them should be arrersted for child abuse and animal cruelty not retrained, they broke the law you don’t get rewarded for breaking the law or do they. San Jose tax payers should PAY.

I am so sick of these vigilante cops!!!!!! When the economy crashes, which it will, its open season on the a$$holes that have taken advantage of us, ruined our country and our lives! they call them PIGS for a reason!

All Police States are leftist in nature. All genocidal activity has been accomplished by leftists. Yes, Hitler was a leftist. The right believes in liberty and personal responsibility

So she answers the door and has a coversation, the police then decide to shoot tear gas into the home just for the hell of it. BS on this lady’s “story”.

The point is that the $100 is used to maintain the status quo. Nothing is improved by spending it. If the window weren’t broken, the $100 could have been spent to make things better.

Sometimes the $100 is spent on entertainment, which isn’t much different than getting the window fixed. But if the window is broken, there is NO chance it would be used to improve life.

Off topic.

This is a pressure tactic used by the police to get the suspect to surrender to them. If you have no place to go and all friends turn you away you surrender. I would think that the police believe that there is a closer relationship than is talked about. Other friends , acquaintances, and relatives may also get houses trashed by police to deprive the suspect of refuge. It is a harsh tactic but in many cases effective.

To Serve and Protect — The Police Union

I especially like how the commentarty on Obama was promted by someone trying to blame bush for this. You people are hopeless and unfortunatly, like all people, only learn through pain and suffering. Bet you cant guess where that will lead you. And no, it isnt into some over romantic ideology of utopia, its at the business end of the evil guns you so want your unca bammy to take away from bad people lol. Fools.

And that means if Glen Beck says the sky is blue, it isn’t?

Every single police officer that was involved in the raid should be fired! They should never be allowed to serve on a police force!

criminals, police are far worse and a bigger threat to US Citizens that and criminals. We need to get back to where Citizens are allowed to defend themselves instead of the new “incorporated” system where you HAVE to CALL the for profit “incorporated” armed security. Yes, I remember a time when a citizen was allowed to protect themselves, now if you don;t call the profit making fee collectors for the INCORPORATED Municipality and INCORPORATED Court then YOU get thrown in Jail. They are a Miserable Failure and a Brutal Oppressive Tyrannical Force. And don;t think voting for A. or B. party matters, they all work for the same Illegal private Banking Cabal.

Irony… The PD makes no money to take. She would be sueing the tax payers, wich includes herself. You could try to sue the individual officers that destroyed private property – but good luck with that. These aren’t just your average thugs… These are UNION thugs… You won’t get anywhere near their paychecks.

They arrested her and tear gassed her dogs? How thoughtful.

sue the stupid police dept. for a new house.

Apparently, grammar and spelling are also your enemies. Police are allowed to take certain steps to ensure the safety of the public. They are trying to protect the citizens they serve. If you choose to deal with shady characters, be prepared to deal with the potential consequences. You should continue to respect the police. Most are good and risk their lives for YOUR benefit.

Obviously this will all stop if we just elect the right politicians to govern us.

Greated?

Actually, for Stockton this would be considered home improvement!

I’m sorry that’s insane that police are raiding and trashing houses for the following threats: gang violence, school loan fraud, and unlicensed guitar wood. What does it say when a citizen has her house trashed because her ex husband was a thug. It would make more sense to be respectful and cooperative with the local community and get the best results. Now when a police officer is harmed people wont care.

She will get nothing. Obviously he Police had a warrant because her dirt bag daughter was hanging around with murdering dirt bags. If you don’t know anything about the system or the law, this looks bad on its face. In reality, the cops had a justified reason for doing what they did. This media spin doesn’t tell you the whole story. This woman and her daughter are trash. If this was a huge mistake, it never would have made the news. The cops would have taken care of it already.

I hear the City of Humble is looking for more dolts, maybe these guys could relocate?

Idiot.

typical behavior for California Police.

How is this in anyway not racist terrorism? San Jose cops are probably on steroids and meth. We can only assume so, cuz the cops refuse to be drug tested. Do as we say not as we do.

Then do not ever call them for anything…no matter what happens you are now unprotected.

Idealistically officer and public safety is of prime concern by law enforcement and to err on caution is acceptable but, in this apparent case, detaining a resident for hours in a locked patrol car while executing unnecessary and reckless damage to property is totally unacceptable.
I would have no problem as a juror awarding actual and punitive damages. Believe me, judgments are very affective in curbing unacceptable police behavior but, unfortunately legal actions take time so a hopeful resolution will be an internal affairs investigation and a quiet payout from San Jose PD’s budget.
One Oddity, the headline says Stockton, which is like 90 miles away from San Jose. What were they doing there in Stockton’s jurisdiction? Maybe Stockton should be liable also

Its not about what you know but who you know.

Shocker…police abusing their power on ordinary citizens..day to day business in the USA these days

The only difference between this, and the way Hitler’s SS would have done it, is that there were no dead bodies when they left. And “San jose pd” can kiss my fuzzy white @ss. Being a former cop myself, this is an embarrassment to the good cops everywhere. Says a lot about Cali cops (read: Nazis), I reckon.

Have you ever had the border agents trash your car when crossing the border? Now that’s a real thrill.

The city should be required to pay for the restoration of the house and its contents as well as for the securing of accomodations while the Rices are awaiting this restoration. The city should also be required to pay for “pain and suffering” for having to endure such tactics. The police should not be allowed to leave a mess after searching any place.

more like you’re idiot and probably a cop which equates to pretty much the same thing. cops trashed her home, they owe her repairs and cleaning or a new home.

This happened in Baltimore several years ago. Police not only mistakenly trashed a house which they wrongly thought was a drug house, but also killed the couple’s dogs. They terrorized an old lady who had been in the kitchen baking when they barged in. They are still fighting not only for compensation, but for the police to even admit they made a mistake. Good luck.

American Police State, were they wearing their Jack Boots, armbands and little mustaches? Or perhaps ski masks carrying sub machine guns?

Jman – Exactly!!

Are ther Darwin Awards for entire departments? Seems like San Jose’s Finest could use some serous training as well as testicular transplants (“Neuticles”).

The police don’t like competition.

Exactly. With a broken window, the homeowners ends up with the same window he had before and $100 less HE WOULD HAVE SPENT ELSEWHERE. Instead, the guy replacing the window has $100 to spend.

The economy as a whole is now one window less wealthy than it was had it not been broken, and the homeowner had just spent his $100 for something he really wanted.

I’m blown away that people can’t see the loss to an economy by breaking things and replacing them. It’s the same lunacy that believes WWII brought the U.S. out of depression, as if devoting 80% of an economy to things you end up blowing up increases the wealth of a nation vs. those resources being devoted to improving people’s standards of living. Lunacy.

Cops are sociopaths. They’ll “think” they deserved to have their house trashed, because of flimsy guilt-by-association”. Makes perfect sense to them and their grade 12 educations.

“Do you know the way

of San Jose?

We’re gonna crash your house

Trash it today,

In San Jose…”

Eat your heart out, Dionne Warwick

This has concerned me for a long time. When did our police change from “folks who protect you” to black suited, machine gun weilding thugs? I saw a news report the other night of a police assault on a home with a bunch of cops running around in military fatigues – in an urban setting. Just looked foolish IMHO.

police amateurs hyped up with swat team fever and with no common sense…what a shame….poor lady. I hope the City rights this wrong.

“OFFICER safety is NOT to be the prime concern of Law enforcement! PUBLIC safety is the reason they exist! Officers should be retrained to stop shooting at 12 year olds who “appear to be reaching for a weapon” that turns out to be a gameboy!

When authority is “beyond reproach” and not held accountable you have become a subject and not a citizen… welcome to ancient England.

[...] The San Jose fuzz did a demolition job on a Stockton home, searching for “the little man who was not there,” and now the homeowner wants them to fix it. [...]

When I was young, the term was “Badge Happy.” This is a good example to know your neighbors, among other things. Statistically, withing a 1 block radius, you will almost always have an attorney under a bush or rock. It’s amazing the change of attitude that even Badge Happy clowns have when an attorney walks up and provides the citizen and the officers with business cards. San Jose was out of Jurisdiction, and Stockton LEOs did not control things.

Where’s the leadership, the people who are supposed to tell the THUGS, that they are not allowed to destroy people’s property or lives for the fun of it? The militarization of Police Departments started under Reagan and the “SWAT”/Rambo mentality has taken over. The THUGS that did this should be held personally for wanten destruction of the families property, no reason to conduct an operation in this manner, none at all! Each of the THUGS should have to pay $50,000 out of his own pocket and be demoted to a desk for a year, if not booted from the force, could save some tax dollars in the meantime. Wonder if these idiots worked for Blackwater in the past?

And they’re the largest and most heavily armed gang in the country.

Another blackeye for the decent Police Departments in the country! Several years ago I was on the business end of several shotguns, pistols, and rifles in a case of mistaken identity. After they confirmed I wasn’t the one they were looking for the department made repairs to my car, fixing the door torn from the hinge and paid for a complete detail. The same should be done for this family. The big difference was I was in Wyoming where the cops took respondsibility.

“Rice said her daughter was an acquaintance of Ruiz, nothing more.”

Uh-huh…

Innocent until proven guilty??

Near Charleston WV the city police recently destroyed a house and it’s contents while looking for evidence for a serious crime that happened several years ago.
Someone told the cops that what they were seeking was buried underneath the house. The house was actually two trailers bolted together with a common roof. They could have had it dismantled and moved, but instead they hired a contractor with heavy machinery to completely destroy the house and left it in a pile of rubble. Deputy sheriffs stood guard while this was happening. Instead of asking th lady who owned the house for the combination to a safe in the house the cops ordered the contractor to smash it open. There was nothing of interest in it. A local newspaper finally got pics of the rubble and published them. The cops are silent on this matter, and the sheriff says it’s not his problem. I’m old. When I was a kid in the 1940s we were taught that the police were here to protect u and they could do no wrong. After a recent encounter with them, now I don’t trust them at all.

Cops never admit mistakes. They’re America’s Heroes(tm), so they aren’t accountable to civilians. Just ask them.

No, the city won’t, unless they are forced to in court.

They work for Obama now. Marshall law is coming prior to election. Count on it.

remeber folks when you let people stay in office there entire lives they will take your rights away little by little

These stories are becoming more rampent everyday. The Police feel they DO NOT have to clean up after a botched raid, home invasion, whatever. They just walk away, and NOTHING happens to them , everytime. So, bottom line, get use to it…………….

Martial.

Everyone knows it’s Sarah Palins fault

“Martial” law, please. Having to do with the military. Not the Marshall Plan.

@dp – It’s martial law, not marshall.

And no, the cops are NOT the most heavily armed gang in the country. The people are. If you’re not armed – WELL armed – see to that pronto.

As for the cops, I appreciate they deal with all kinds of vermin but when some of them start to assume that EVERYONE is criminal garbage and that their property doesn’t matter, those cops need to find a new line of work. Many (most?) cops are great. But the ones who stand out think they’re above the law and treat good people and their property very badly. Police chiefs everywhere need to rein those clowns in or fire them.

You are an idiot. It has been established legal precident for years that police do not have to mitigate any damages caused by serving a valid warrant, especially a no-knock warrant (which is probably what this was, considering they were searching for an armed and dangerous felon). Wishing something was “fair” or the way you want it to be doesn’t make it true.

This is why they are called, PIGS!

If the police continue to disrespect the citizens, and the courts keep ruling in favor of the police, even when the actsare criminal, THEN…..it is time for the people to start disrespecting the police and the courts.

Oh my god with THE GRAMMAR AND SEMANTIC POLICE YOU GET THE DAMN POINT SHUT UP

The police overstepped their lawful authority. The police involved who said the dogs were dead should be fired and prosecuted. Every police person involved should be disciplined. The officer in charge should be fired and prosecuted. All damages should be paid. I hope the home occupant(s) sue the police department, municipality and each officer in tort.

Judges enable the thuggery and abuse of police. They hide behind judicial immunity. But I believe there needs to be severe sanctions and removal of judges who offer broad sweeping warrants on the basis of a general affidavit.

The famous quote from the film “Touch of Evil,” by the Charlton Heston character rings true today: “POLICE WORK IS ONLY EASY IN A POLICE STATE.” Making police work harder means we protect ourselves from a “police state.”

I can just envision arrogant, overpaid, bullying cops harassing and abusing these people and their privacy. Holding police to account as I mentioned will ultimately protect us all.

Listen, you ignorant price of boot licking slime, we have a thing called a “constitution” in this country that outlines that people cannot just have their property destroyed or taken without actually being having a judgement against them. There was no judgement. There was a warrant.
Furthermore, you subservient, kowtowing coward, “aquantance” could mean as little as someone you work with, or met at a party once. You don’t know, I don’t know. But your little sniveling brain would prefer to think, like a dog following its master, that your master can do no wrong. Wake up.
The police are not our masters, vermin. We are theirs.

why is there no photos of the ‘ damage ‘?

i saw the video. when can we expect a law suit against the police for damages and emotional trauma?

I have heard of many similar stories where police will bust into someones house because of bad intel and end up pointing a loaded gun and some kid in pajamas. These type of tactics have to stop. This is not Afghanistan.

Here in AZ where many people have guns in the house, a no knock at wrong house could turn into a very bad situation.

Of course no one will ever blame the police. When has an internal review ever found wrongdoing by the police officers right?

if the police get away without paying damages, and/or an apology then occupation tactics should be forthcoming. or will they?

Our Founding Fathers considered property rights at the top of the list. The police heavily damaged their property. The city must foot the bill for repairs–good repairs, not cheap, shoddy repairs.

So true, so true. This quote comes to mind: “A nation of sheep breeds a government of wolves.” Unknown

[...] InsteadOctober 25, 2011 // nRelate.domain = "wishididntknow.com"; // wpa2a.script_load(); TweetShare(CBS Sacramento) - The San Jose Police Department stormed into a Stockton home searching for an accused killer, but [...]

Bad intel and no knock warrants cost lives. The police only seem to be upset if a search costs police lives and I understand they have a very dangerous job. But I’ve read enough news stories about people and animals being killed by cops at the wrong address to know that this has to stop. If police burst into a house and a dog barks at them (and 99% of dogs would bark at intruders screaming and storming the place) they shoot the dogs even though they are typically wearing full armor and holding riot shields. That is ridiculous. If peper spray works on bears it will work on a dog.

We are no longer protected by our police force, but rather used and abused by the police state. These raids help mustached policemen move up the police ladder, that’s all. These idiot cops with their homo-erotic fetish for dressing up with black clothes and painted faces like wanna-be commandos and violently invading a peaceful house with sleeping kids is enough to make decent citizen outraged.
We must dramatically cut the police budgets, fire all the loser cops who aren’t skilled enough to find a normal job, remove all of their violent weapons and leave them with a simple six-shooter revolver and no body armor. That’s exactly what they deserve.

Ahh, yeah, that’s pretty much it. I mean, that’s kind of the main point of this story that you should take away with you, yes.

Stockton, CA is 80 miles from San Jose, CA – What were the San Jose Police doing in Stockton?

“land of the free?” not with jackboot terrorists like this doing whatever they want to innocent people.

Any particular reason why you will not post my comments?
Please let me know, thank you.

There’s an old Irish joke that goes:

“Why do men become cops? Too lazy to work. Too dumb to steal.”

Now you can add swaggering midget sized women with foul mouths to that joke, too.

We were brought up to think of the police as friends to turn to when trouble comes – the good guys. But, as a state becomes more totalitarian, as ours is today, the police will always go right along with the regime. We, through apathy and lack of vigilance, have surrendered our liberty and the police are the primary face and fist of our self-imposed oppressors.

“Wishing something was “fair” or the way you want it to be doesn’t make it true.” humanriff

And it doesn’t make what they did constitutional either.

Look it’s like this , if you run with $hit you get treated like $hit , she said her daughter was his friend,,,I dont feel sorry for this family at all…..

Private property means nothing to the government. They believe everything belongs to them…your property, your money, your children. etc. Think back to the kelo decision.

The only entity that can steal from you at gunpoint…government.

Yeah that’s right. What’s a little collateral damage? I mean, why should we only reserve that for our enemies? Sheesh…

One unaddressed question..what the hell were San Jose cops doing in Stockton in the first place? Aren’t there jurisdictional boundaries ot there on the left coast?

First of all, it says “acquaintance,” not “friend.” Second of all, you’re an idiot if you think your rights are suddenly meaningless if you just happen to KNOW a guy who is only a SUSPECT.

Pathetic is all i have to say to this. What tpye of example are cops trying to give?

You are a J er k and an id 10 T.

Yes, you are correct. NEVER trust the police. Never invite them into your house. Never willingly let them search your car. Never “take a few questions downtown” unless you are under arrest. Most police now are ex-military or one step up from prison guards. They have a military (us against them, with the common people being them) mindset. The days of Andy Griffith are over. These guy are trained killers, sanctioned by the the government. You should act accordingly.

[...] It was 7:00 a.m. when the SWAT team materialized on the steps of Joann Rice’s Stockton, California….

When you associate with garbage you make yourself and your property a legitimate target of an investigation. Especially when the garbage in questions lists your address as their current residence. You don’t like it, don’t associate with trash and don’t let your daughter knock boots with with trash in your home. Be a law abiding citizen and don’t harbor garbage like this and this won’t happen to your home.

1. I would like to know if they had a search warrant.
2. If they did, they have no right to trash someone elses house.
3. The City should have to pay for all of the damage.
4. I think that what took place is against the law, even though police did it.

Bull. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior.

That is asinine. No one said they were anything more than an acquaintance. I’ve had a cop come to my apartment years ago looking for someone. I never knew them at all. I’ve had folks calling for other people I’ve never known.

If a cop is told, “Oh, ask this person, they might know” even if they don’t, you will get a visit. Its like kindergarten.

“Timmy, did you take the crayons?”
“No Ma’am, I saw Billy take em.”

Billy gets detained and searched by the teacher even though he was no where near the crayons.

To the Law is the Law

So for you it’s justified to do whatever just because a family member was “associated” in some unstated/unproven manner with the guy they are looking for??
You are either a Union thug(cop) or a wannabe cop groupie and you should get educated as to what is happening in America..

Yep! “We don’t need no stinkin 4th Ammendment. We’re the police!” This is what a police state looks like. IF there were “justice”, the thugs that did this would have to repair this house…on their own dime. This type of police force will find little sympathy WTSHTF

I have. Born in GDR 1960 lived there until 32 age. Very sad to see my new home become like the old.

She said that she told the police that they could enter her home. This is what happens when you don’t know your rights. I am sure that the police would have done this anyways, but at least she would have had significant legal recourse had she refused to allow them entry, and denied them the right to search. They dont need a search warrant if you tell them that they can enter your residence.Remember, you have the right to deny consent to search. You are also not obligated to divulge anything to the police, other than your name, without a lawyer present. Be a true patriot and excercise your rights. Vote Ron Paul!!!

Pigs suck! They suck, suck, suck, suck. They are out of control!! They are nothing but armed thugs! Love to kill people and animals!!

No wonder more pigs than ever are being killed!! They are at war with the American people!!!

You’re right. The law is the law. Which means those officers had no right to destroy that home. They had no right to not listen to the homeowners. They had no right to put other living creatures in that home in danger. They had no right to put an innocent, unsuspected woman in the back of a crusier and in jail. They are the ones who aren’t upholding the law.

So get off your highhorse and actually LOOK at the situation.

If “Good Cops” stand aside and let these things happen, then they are not “great” , they are accomplices to a crime, and as such are as guilty as the perpetrators. If there were “Good Cops” the bad ones would be in jail.
Stop kidding yourself, they are all the same. There were good Mafiosi, there were good Nazis, “many cops are great” wake up and see what is going on around you.

If it was a “no knock” warrant, why did they knock on the door and speak to the homeowner first????

And a mere acquaintance with this person would not have been enough to get a warrant.

And having a warrant does not give the cops the right to destroy your home. It gives them the right to search it.

They had an arrest warrant. With that they could have broke down the door. I am undecided either way. They do consider this guy armed and dangerous. He should turn himself in before the Hell’s Angels find him. He would be safer. I live in the area and am now making sure everything is locked up tight at home 24/7.

We should not be allowing our police to act like the Gestapo.

not sure if I agree 100%. Police need more training. It is a scary world out there and there are some really violent people. It is not only the police that suck. America is at war with itself I am sorry to say.

What a moron. Your reading comprehension sucks. I don’t see anything in this story about her letting anyone use her address. I see nothing in the article about the daughter bumping boots with anyone. All I read is ‘acquaintance’. I don’t even see anything in the article indicating that the suspect even used her address. The cops showed up, she answered the door, they proceeded to trash the place.

If they were “Good Cops” they would arrest and charge the “jerks” that did it.

Well, you cower in the basement. Hopefully the cops will think he is in your house and will burn it down with you in it.

Many cities have open jurisdiction for neighbor cities. And I live in the midwest..

For real? I understand not associating with people of low moral character, but to say that doing so waives your basic, inalienable rights is absurd. If the police ruined a house like that, they should be held liable for the costs to restore it.

You may want to voice your complaint directly to the San Jose Police Department. Here are some phone numbers from its website:
Chief of Police (408) 277 – 4212
Press Information Office (Media Relations) (408) 277 – 5339
Assistant Chief of Police (408) 277 – 4214
Bureau of Administrative Deputy Chief (408) 277 – 4147
Bureau of Administrative Captain (408) 277 – 5219
Bureau of Field Operations Deputy Chief (408) 277 – 4715

Remember, government is here to protect and serve you, the citizen.

Your an idiot. Have someone read you the 4th Amendment dumb a**.

A government powerful enough to give you what you want is one powerful enough to take it away.

Let’s bring the Constitution back from vacation and restore the rule of law which restrains government and frees the people.

Ron Paul is looking more correct every day.

I know Police are in danger most of the time, but I think they should be held to the same standard as other citizens. The government should repair this home immediately.

You got that right!

Why do you think your left-wing government wants ALL long guns registered? If they feel like performing some street justice in YOUR house,they don’t want to face a 12ga.

I saw the version of this which denies right to bear arms when I lived in GA. The story which happened in my townhouse row to the people three doors over from me goes exactly like this. 1 police execute a no-knock warrant to the wrong house. 2 the police have chosen an arab exchange student who is asleep in his upstairs bed when they smash his front door in and rush up stairs in armor carrying assault rifles with small flashlights mounted to the barrels. 3 the student fearing that he is being kidnapped gets his gun to protect himself from the assault just as the black clad men with automatic rifles reach the top of the stairs and point machin guns at him while he is still on his bed. Now this scenario played out safely that time and the fellow chose not to shoot at the police as would have been his right and he is still alive today, but can you say you expect the same will happen every time? The warrant while legally issued was not issued for him or for his home. The door of my townhouse had been replaced with a steel one when I moved in because an earlier tenant had received a late night visit which had also not been for their address. Now I don’t know who the jackhole was at the Valdosta GA police department that thought it was fun to go to the wrong address to serve no-knock warrants but I can tell you that having a weapon and being able to reach that weapon in time are two very different things when a force invades your home while you are asleep. The police who executed that warrant were in danger just like the person they confronted in his home and make no mistake if I had been able to reach my gun in time to setup for such an assault there would be a few less overzealous police officers in Valdosta GA the next day. Notice that I say if because I don’t believe I would have had any more luck defending myself against such an assult than that student had. It is why I moved. No one should have to fear the police who should be their defenders coming to get them late in the night. The police are liable for the damage they inflicted and you can get the money by filing for damages but what you cannot gert back is the feeling of safety forever gone after the shock of seeing your supposed defenders rabbidly trying to detain you for no crime whatsoever.

Which law did the family whose house was ruined break, boot licker?

This is why no matter how innocent you know you might be, force the police to produce a search warrant. No warrant no enter… I doubt a judge would have issued the warrant with the daughter being an acquaintance. 2nd When the daughter is hauled off and held – she is under arrest… Assuming such, she needs an attorney present. Got to be more to this story…

It’s war on the people alright.

What are San Jose Police doing in Stockton, CA?

Last I looked that was about 90 miles away, in a different county.

You are such a moron. I only hope you one day suffer abuse at the hands of the Police. Painful, humiliating expensive abuse. Idiot.

It sucks that giving cops permission to SEARCH your home gives them implied permission to TRASH your home.

You must submit to your officials authority! You think this is your old America? Hell no! We own you!

What absolute balderdash! The Law is the Law! It’s her fault becaues at some time in the past her daughter made bad decisions? So why did they have to trash the house? Can they not perform a complete search without destruction? Oh, Oh! he may have been hiding “in the walls” so we have to punch holes in them! Oh, the windows might not be real so we have to break all of them! What a crock and what a complete horses behind was that commenter!

If you really believe that do not ever call the police for anything…you no longer have police protection. Put your life where your idiotic rhetoric is.

[...] a Comment // STOCKTON (CBS13) — The San Jose Police Department stormed into a Stockton home searching for an accused killer, [...]

This is ridiculous and thats why police should have never been give the right to go into someones home uninvited, because of mindless acts of violence with no cause. Yes, they should pay for the damages out of the policemans pay who did the damage and file a suit against the city while you are at it for no cause. YOu told them the man wasnt there, and they damaged the house and in the process shot gas into the house and murdered a dog!!! These police arent very well trained or have low intelligence or both,

That’s like saying “If you really believe that the mafia isn’t giving you anything useful in return for your protection money, just don’t let them in next time they come calling.”

Good luck with that. I’d love not to do interact with them, but if you decline, you’ll be the one under their baton next.

Folks need to calm down… Only one side of the story is being presented here – and beyond a picture of a broken window, nothing else has been verified. If the woman believes she has suffered a loss, either she or her insurance company needs to file a claim with the city.

When police do this it is just as bad as if a gang did it. They should be prosdecuted accordingly as would anyone else.

Actions like this by cops is just as bad as happens in police states. They should be convicted of destroying property – regardless.

how stupid is this response? file a claim with the city and wait for months, maybe years for reimbursement? the only way to get quick responce is to get the media involved and raise public awareness of the insanity here.

You all need to remember this was in California. They keep voting for Barbra Boxer,Nancy Pelosi and other similar representatives. look at the ones running the state,a bunch of morons. California is broke,they keep regulating businesses out of the state . Do you really think anyone there knows what they are doing ?

“They told her if there was anything left in that house, it’s dead,” she said. “We were hysterical and thought the puppies were dead…”

hilarious

Shades of things to come…if we don’t the leftists out of government power. I think to believe otherwise is foolish, and ignorant of history and human nature.

I think you are thinking of the wrong side. The left is the side that would do studies, hire specialists and plan community meeting to address any issues. The right is the side that would burn the house down and if they don’t catch the guys may be they can drill under to house or maybe god will tell them where he is.

You’re $hit.

You deserve this. Every stinking, suc-arse second of it. x1000!

That is, as long as you keep voting for the looney leftest (Boxer, Pelosi, Feinstein, Waters, Waxman, who support these, Anti Bill of Rights, non-constitutional, free-for-all activites.

If you actually supported the BoR and Constitution, these Perps (cops/gestapo) would be held accounable. But in a
Holder/Obama/Pelosi/Waters/Waxman regime… I laugh at your dumba$$es.

Any cop kills my dog and someday, someway I will hunt the POS down and slaughter the pig.

“I have never seen a situation so dismal that a policeman couldn’t make it worse.” — Brendan Behan

Actually it is the daughter’s fault for letting the cops on the premises without a search warrant and her attorney present. Cops are going to take advantage as there is no risk for them to do whatever they want after being allowed on the premises without a warrant that states exactly what they may search for and who they may detain. Not that I don’t have sympathy for the homeowner, I do. But they were self inflicted victims in this mess. I would get a very good attorney and sue the city unti they bleed. Also I would pursue personal liability suits against the police officers involved as well.

It all started (no knock warrants) with the so called “war on drugs”. In practice it is actually a war on our Constitutional rights. How’s that all working out for ya?

THIS IS SO FUNNY..THIS BROAD AMERICA USED TO BE IN A MOTORCYCLE GANG HERSELF CALLED THE DEVIL DOLLS AND DID PLENTY OF HELLS ANGELS..AND NOW IS TRYING TO PORTRAY HERSELF AS A VICTIM..NOTHING BUT LIES ..HE WAS THERE AND OTHER HELLS ANGELS HAVE BEEN THERE…I LIVE NEAR HER AND HAVE SEEN THEM…SO KEEP UP THE SOB STORY..

This is the reason why cops are called PIGS!

We all did not vote for The Zero, The box head or Waxnose,

Maiballs; Have you ever gone to school? Or maybe you were dropped on your head as a baby. Maybe you are unaware of David Koresh or Ruby Ridge or the little Cuban boy in Florida, how about the freedomm marches in Alabama and Georgia and much more that are all intrinsically ingrained in the liberal Democrat party. Of course one who has no clue as to history is bound too repeat it. Get your facts straight, Jack (I mean Pat)

yeah…let’s “prosdecuted” them

So, why should I believe that the media are reporting accurately? Their track record for ethics and truth is no better than a politician’s. At least the politico is, in theory anyway, ultimately responsible to his constituency. The media are responsible to no one.

Sounds like a tad overhyped BS. The daughter was a biker chick with known badass associates. The cops are trying to execute a felony arrest warrant and tossed a tear gas grenade into the house through a window. As for holes in the wall, perhaps the grenade hit the wall before the floor.

To tell the truth, I would guess the mess existed before the cops got there.

The police ARRESTED her she had NO choice to say No YOU CANNOT COME INTO My house, get it? If they come to your house to arrest someone they DO come into their house or any where else to get them. WHY DID THEYARREST “HER”, what did SHE do to have her home trashed. I hope we hear how this drama ends. Firemen bless their brave hearts save precious little animals who are in danger, these A H cowards killed them, this is horrible.

You obviously don’t live here. What does our state have to do with cops? That’s like saying all ya’ll oakie cops eat ribs…

Give it a rest!

Hooray, the McRib is back!

If you are going to be the grammar police then get it right. It is, Yes…(3 dots for pause not 4) let’s “prosdecuted”(then put ‘sic’ by this to show it was their mistake not yours) them.

What is a Brendan Behan?

Bill of rights?

There is the First Amendment: I think California is pretty sweet on this one.

The second Amendment? Well- you’ve got me there. But I live here and I own four hand guns and five long arms and it wasn’t too tough to get them.

The Third Amendment? We haven’t had troops quartered in our houses- so I think we can safely say that this one is just fine.

Fourth Amendment?: Unreasonable search and seizure? Well it looks like they had probable cause and I bet they had a warrant. This would have happened everywhere.

Fifth Amendment?: Due process, double jeopardy, Self-incrimination, eminent domain. I think we’re fine too.

Which rights are we voting against here?

What a pathetic group of thugs, these donut sucking, bullhorn yoyo, police/pigs. Their destruction is our salvation. Until they learn to conduct themselves with honor, they deserve nothing but pure scorn.

Read the story Dumbo, they didn’t arrest her, they arrested the daughter, a known associate of the murder suspect for whom they had a felony warrant.

Really? How about the TSA now under the lefties stopping travellers on the road…the gestapo! The right believes in our God given rights…the lefties believe in the state-given -rights. People better wake up!

Hey sticks, obviously you haven’t the inteligence or the ability to read but if you will have someone read the article to you you will find that there is nowhere that it states the daughter was a friend of the perp. In as plain language as possible, you can be acquainted with someone without being friends with them. What a rube.

Teach your children: Never give police permission to enter the house. Do not talk to police. No exceptions.

I lived there. California is a police state. like all bastions of liberalism. Ban this, Ban that, regulate every living being into a straight jacket. You get what you vote for dummies.

Oh my the tough cops we have. I say if the issue isn’t resolved in pleasing the homeowner that a list of the cops involved in this be provided and let their home be raided in the same fashion.

Let’s see how they like it.

You need to think idiot! How would you feel if San Jose’s finest destroyed your home while searching for someone? How would you feel if your family had been threatened with execution if they stepped out of the house? The 4th Amendment has clearly been violated. No knock warrants should be illegal. and San Jose should pay out the nose for this and the Police Chief should be fired.

You really are an immature prick.

Prove it Roadkill.

Yes and we have probable cause and warrants and the exclusionary rule. You know nothing of the law. You know nothing. You don’t know the facts. A judge issued the warrant, the police executed. Get an education.

They should have a beer and crack summit at the White House.

“That is the home Rice came back to after the San Jose police held a fruitless 12-hour search on Saturday for Steve Ruiz, the man accused of killing a Hells Angels member at a funeral.”

That sounds like a public service to me. Shouldn’t they pin a medal on him instead?

The cops are a gang like any other….escept….they just put their gang logo on the side of their ride, pull their pants up and are more brutal than any other gang..

You are both pants snakes!!

No, wait. You are both trouser trout.

Sir Robert Peel said, “The people are the police and the police are the people.” So look in the mirror, all you hammerheads. You “digitals” are ALL about as stupid as the head of my schmeckel, whether you wear a uniform or not. So when you wonder where the stupid cops came from, look at each other and your brain dead video game culture. We don’t hire foreigners or extra-terrestrials to be our police. We hire pud pulling gamers, jocks and dweebs seeking personal power. Oh, and swaggering little women with big butts. Don’t forget swaggering little women with big butts.

As a fomer police officer some 30+ years ago, we had a hard time finding good, decent people back then, and it is even worse now. Sadly, I was thinking today if I were called to jury duty, would I believe testimony by any law enforcement officer? Back then we were peace officers. I looked into the bathroom mirror and said silently to myself that I could not trust the word of a LEO without additional evidence that could not be tainted or fabricated. I used to read police reports in the records bureau and there was so much BS in those papers that as a young person I was truly shocked. Police in America cannot be trusted to do what’s right as is evidenced by the actions of these uniformed thugs in San Jose. It seems the only way to combat this sort of thing is to make those who participate in such raids personally financially liable. Why arrest and jail this lady’s daughter? She wasn’t the suspect! Words come to mind that I cannot mention in public. I’m outraged and I hope this family is made whole as best it can by the clowns in state-issued costumes. Shame on them!

Legalized thuggery as I call it…. I read another article….local governments had to pay $1.8 MILLION after doing this to citizens some time back…you’d think they’d LEARN!

This homeowner should go after them for $10 MILLION…tag it as punitive, and collect a MILLION each from each of the officers involved…they know when they trashed her place it was WRONG.

These cops will be the A-TEAM on Obama’s Civilian Security Force as powerful as the Army….they need “thugs” who will uphold National Socialism and maintain terror over the citizens who dare “resist” Hitler had thugs in the SA….people who would act and damned be the consequences of the law.

Not to fear! The San Jose damage claim form is available on-line, and you can find it in about 20 seconds.

From Peace Officers to arrogant thugs in one generation.

If you’re not a cop, you’re a perp.

Call it tyranny.

American Slaves! Do not question your police state masters!!
Back to sleep!!

At least they didn’t shoot the puppies for putting them in harms way.

Make them take it out of their pensions. This type of behavior from the neighborhood terrorists would come to a stop, real quick. Let’s no beat around the bush here. This is text book terrorism.

wow all you people should post in the sj mercury news storys, there are total sheep in san jose

welcome to the NEW WORLD ORDER.. don’t think for a second this can’t happen to and WORSE.. much WORSE.. they can take you’re life as well .. accidentally of course.. they should be sued long and hard and made to feel PAIN and LOSS the SOB MthrFckrs

What is the SJPD doing in Stockton? Way out of their jurisdiction.

That’s what you get for letting them in the house, never ever do that unless they have a warrant, then get your lawyer and make sure they only search what is specified in the warrant.

The police are just another gang.

If the family is reading this, reply to this message. I’m an attorney in Palo Alto and I’d be willing to represent you pro bono in a lawsuit against the SJPD.

The police wonder why the good citizens dont shed a tear when one of them ends up pushing daiseys.

Alex,
I agree, I remember a time when I could look at an LEO and think he or she was doing an honorable job and was deserving of respect.
Today I can’t say that or even walk by an LEO with out suspicion.

I guess the perp was hiding in a window.Well the exact same thing just happened here in S.C. The people are sueing the sheriffs dept over this.This reminds me of the nazi gestapo

Next time you all need help, call a hippie.

NEVER voluntarily let a pig…oops, I mean police officer in your home. It will never result in anything “good” happening. The most likely outcome is your prosecution for something that you did not even know was a crime!

About time people woke up cops have been acting like this for generations.

Headline should read, “Gang trashes house”.

[...] It was 7:00 a.m. when the SWAT team materialized on the steps of Joann Rice’s Stockton, Califo…. The raiding party, which was from neighboring San Jose, was pursuing Steve Ruiz, a member of the Hell’s Angels suspected of fatally shooting a fellow gang member. Acting on what they insisted was valid intelligence, the strike force — 30 combat-equipped operators backed up by armored vehicles — didn’t bother to get a search warrant. [...]

Compensation should come from the personal assets of the police officers involved, not from the taxpayers.

We were in New Mexico a few years ago and three different cop gangs came into our house put us out in the snow at 20 degrees it was late at night
they would not let us have our vehicles the snow had stopped the whole damn town taxis and all. We had two minor children and five dogs to take care of to make a long story short what a bunch of punks they found nothing and left our house trashed the search warrant they were suppose to have appeared the next day. But that was a different story.

If they trashed the house but did not find what or whom they were searching for they must pay for the repair of the damages…….Looks like a job for a good lawyer..

Yet due to their actions police destroy the lives of innocent people everyday and then want us to trust them. The government fails to secure the border, illegal alien criminals have more rights than American citizens. I will NEVER call a cop Yet if you protect yourself you go to jail. What is worse is that I committed a felony 30 yrs ago. Have not been in trouble since. Did all my time and parole yet am still being punished for the crimes I committed when I was 18. I live in a gang infested city but thanks to our glorious laws I am not allowed to own a weapon to defend myself. Thank you America, I’m sure if I had money or was famous things would be different and I would have ALL my rights.

Last time I saw a follow up one a similar story that’s what they did. The homeowner felt like it would have gone better if they just paid for it themselves. They won there case, got paid 30 cents on the dollar and didn’t seem to change a thing.

Its a damn shame about what you are having to put up with and not being able to protect yourself.I now carry everywhere that I go no matter what I will NOT become a statistic for no one.It isn’t safe any where these days.More and more people are coming home from work only to run into burgulars ransacking their homes.If I do they will be carrying them out in body bags>Yes they will die with a weapon in their hands.

Looking at the comments made here- it just makes me sad. There are about 5 people that can make a cogent argument or a statement that doesn’t read like the flailing of a broken mind firing off bumper-sticker politics.

We are better than that. YOU are better than that. Think. Write. Discuss. Shouting to the world some meaningless babble about thugs or gangs- how is that- anything?

Dammit people, get yourselves together and be better than this.

I think people often use these comment sections as an opportunity to vent, or emote, more than actually reason with another. I know I’ve done it. But I agree with you. We are better than that~! Thanks.

Modesto isnt much different than Stockton. I dont live in either place and certainly would not want to live in Mo Town. ewww

Even with all it’s problems, Modesto is 100X better than Stockton.
