He answered the door in underwear. Topeka police broke in with guns drawn, he says

Thanks for the clarification.

 

It's not illegal, and he wasn't arrested for slamming the door. It does evidence suspicious behavior because the cops may knock on your door to ask you a question based on something they have been told or suspect. And underwear and latex gloves can also lead to more suspicion, such as "is he killing someone in there?"

And I don't think the article makes clear whether he was arrested. He was handcuffed, which btw is as much for his protection as the cops. The cops cannot think he's attacking them if he's in restraint. But hopefully once his story about washing the dog checked out, the cops let him go on washing the dog in his undies and gloves.

 

Whoever made that call is in deep ****.

 

Literally shaking my head while reading this batshit crazy racebait trash heap of a thread.

As long as progressives exist, there will always be racism, even if there's no actual racism.

 

“The cops cannot think he’s attacking them if he’s in restraint.”

How many videos would you like to see of cops assaulting people already in handcuffs, almost all of which the cops walked from with no more punishment than “administrative leave” (aka vacation).

 

Bullcrap. If that were the case, you had a few hundred posts you could have made before this one.

 

I did. I have consistently referenced my outrage that government assaulted a citizen per the cops in the video because they got a call saying a person had a gun in their own home.

 

I almost never report anyone for anything they say.

When someone says they're going to be reporting anyone with a gun then makes a comment that they don't care if anyone gets killed in the process, that person is a scumbag and hopefully law enforcement gets notified.

I draw the line at criminality online.

It's the same reason this man could have died.

 

Well yes. Cops are doing something wrong if/when the hit/taser/shoot someone who is restrained. And the point is, if they are restrained, the cops shouldn't normally have to do that.

I realize there have been Freddie Gray incidents, but I have only met two cops who I thought were actively evil people. And neither is a cop anymore ... not that I have the power to affect that.

 

I am betting this is not this guys first interaction with the cops. He admits to being a felon. Felons are prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm. That is a felony. The cops or a probation officer are allowed to make unannounced checks on felons to check for firearms and other prohibited items. Getting a call that someone is committing a felony, necessitates a police investigation. The police did nothing wrong. The guy acted stupidly.

 

Links?

 

That doesn't matter.

He was a known felon and someone called and said he had a gun.

 

This is what should have happened........

Cops show up at the door and ask if there's anyone else in the apartment with him. He responds just my dog. May we look? Sure but rinse off the dog while you're in there. Cops look, find nothing and proceed immediately to the callers apartment and question him/her while other cops question neighbors. If neighbors confirm there was a ruckus, cops go door to door looking for the real ruckus location. No violent confrontation, they proceed to callers apartment and place 'em under arrest. It's not rocket science.

 

Yeah but if he hadn't answered the door they would have still kicked the door in, based on the call.

 

And I'm not sure many would have held them to be wrong based on what they knew.

 

The person at fault here is the person who made the false report to the police.

Both the police as well as the young man in this situation were victims of the person who made the call.

For example:

Let's say some guy in underwear and latex gloves had you tied up in an apartment and was doing various unspeakable things to you.

Someone calls the police reporting you're in danger in the apartment.

Police come to the door, your abductor answers the door in gloves and underwear. He tells the police, "not me" and slams the door.

The police walk away.

Can you see how that could be a problem for you?

 

Why do you want common sense to prevail? Don't you know cops are paid to beat up on minorities? Or so some on this board think anyway.

 

Sounds good to me!

 

And that changes the initial call why? Oh right it dosn't. You're trying to make something out of nothing.

 

We are in agreement up until a violent felon wants second amendment rights restored. You don't get to deny someones right not to be injured, raped, or murdered and still expect to legally possess a firearm. Sex offenders may have their right to travel restricted.

I don't think I like the thought of criminals voting, but then again, we are usually voting for criminals anyway!

 

All we know as that she wasn't there. She could have left, or the call could have been in error, but, the actions of the police officers strike me as reasonable and lawful.

 

Remember the Clinton Administration and Elian Gonzalez?

 

Yeah not slamming the door in a cops face goes a long way.

 

then you sentence them longer, that is where the punishment phase is... simple

example, Trumps fixer and others that committed felonies once they do their time, should get their right to own a gun back and vote, common sense as these are rights, not privileges that can be revoked like a drivers license

now if we remove the "right" to own a gun and make it a "privilege" like driving a car, then I agree with you, other wise it's like the "right" to free speech and all our other rights

what if Trump was charged with a felony and we took away his free speech rights, be the same thing and just as wrong, as free speech is a right, not a privilege

even though Trump talked about shooting someone on 5th ave and getting away with it, it is still his right to own a gun

 

remember what happened to the white guy... cops shot him dead.. all cause someone reported they saw him with a gun

owning a gun is dangerous nowadays regardless of race

remember the cell phone case that looked like guns and police warned us it could put us in danger to use such a case as cops could think they were real guns
