Oklahoma Police Chief Shot During An Apparent SWATting Raid; Homeowner Won’t Be Charged

All three law enforcement officers and the entire Horton family were placed in extreme danger by the apparent SWATter… which was the point of the SWATting call. I sincerely hope that authorities are able to trace this false bomb threat back to the source, and then arrest the caller for multiple counts of attempted murder, one for every law enforcement officer and Horton family member. Until SWATters start going to prison, this sort of thing is going to continue to happen.

AJ said...: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. There is absolutely no, nada, zero justification for no-knock raids on a residence. I would find a whole lot more respect for cops if they would flatly refuse to participate in these Einsatzgruppen tactics.; January 19, 2015 at 10:27 AM
Meister said...: The civility of Americans has been lost. When I was younger, the police would call your house and tell you that you need to turn yourself in by a certain time, or they would go looking for you. If they had to go looking, they WILL hurt you. No knock warrants have no place in modern police practice. No matter why or for what reason, it risks too many lives on both sides.

The rounds I keep in my home protection rifles WILL swiss cheese ceramic plates and buicks. I hope I never have to face that test, but I am prepared.; January 19, 2015 at 2:08 PM
THEBigFatPanda said...: Seems to me that if common sense were tried, these idiots would think about the fact there's many more damn guns in American homes than there are LEO's.
So maybe, juuuuust maybe it might behoove someone to THINK for five minutes about the possible consequences of a swat raid going bad? And instead of applying more force, MAYBE they could try a little old fashioned conversation????
What's that old saying about honey vs vinegar?

Btw, mike, nice new bot catcher you have set up. Much more user friendly.; January 19, 2015 at 3:25 PM
Phelps said...: This one will go away quietly because the sheriff cowboyed this whole thing and wants it go away? He BORROWED a vest and then insisted on going in first, getting shot in the process?

He desperately wants this to go away without any more questions being asked.; January 19, 2015 at 6:08 PM
Anonymous said...: Head shots are highly recommended. A vest doesn't cover the head.; January 19, 2015 at 6:39 PM
Anonymous said...: The government is fully behind and supportive of "Swatting" and probably started the concept of "Swatting" and wants to Encourage even more Swatting. Hence the person who called the fake "Bomb Threat in,will not be prosecuted.

I have not Ever heard of a "Swatter" being prosecuted...Even when it has resulted in the Death of someone!; January 19, 2015 at 10:34 PM
RIck said...: This whole article does not make any sense. One armed homeowner was able to hold off three armed police officers that kicked in his door and surprised him? Pure fantasy. Believe something like that and you might believe that someone with a concealed carry permit could make a difference in a terrorist attack. Fantasy. Nothing but fantasy.

Paul X said...: AJ is right. No justification for SWAT at all, and I am surprised at how many have no problems with it.

Anon @6:39 is also right. Head shots are the way to go.; January 20, 2015 at 12:50 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
