That said, I'd LOVE to know who requested and who issued this warrant.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by seanD View PostI've heard conservatives argue that if the state ever repealed the second amendment and ordered police to confiscate guns, police would rebel against it and side with the people.
To me that's a joke, and this (as well how they acted during the shut down) is just yet another example that confirms it. Police will side with the state like the lapdogs they are.
The problem is with the civil authorities.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThat is quite concerning to me.
Police officers are hired, employed and directed by their respective civil authorities. You know this. I hardly think they are "lapdogs", but failure to carry out a legitimate assignment would be subject to discipline or termination.
The problem is with the civil authorities.
And maybe it's just my ignorance of the law, but how can a warrant be issued with no charges made, especially if the firearms are legal?

The only thing I can think of at this time would be that there's a suspicion that the rifle is fully auto as opposed to semi.... still digging.
Again, I think the problem is with the civil authorities, like the moron prosecutor...
"My office is currently working with the public and the police to investigate these events," she said on June 29. "Make no mistake: We will not tolerate the use of force against those exercising their First Amendment rights, and will use the full power of Missouri law to hold people accountable."The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

So far, the only thing I can see is that they are focusing on the fact that the weapons (particularly the pistol held by the woman) were AIMED at protesters, not just 'displayed'.
It looks like they're talking about "the way the weapons were handled". But it also sounds like they only confiscated the rifle. I'm wondering if they suspect magazine capacity was exceeded, or, like I said, fully auto vs semi.
She most CERTAINLY did a lousy job handling her pistol, but I can't see the illegality yet.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

OK, not that it matters in what's happened so far, but it appears these two lawyers have been.. um... "colorful"... in the past, including suing to keep a Jewish family from moving into their neighborhood, and destroying the bee hives outside their property that were intended for honey for Rosh Hashanah celebrations for a local Synagogue.
While that doesn't impact THIS incident, it might be why the "civil authorities" were particularly aggressive (if, indeed, they were) toward the McCloskeys.
IF there had been such a history, it might explain why the officers serving the warrant didn't have any particular sympathy for the couple.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
