This kind of thing is just unnacceptable in a free nation.

We're not peons to be treated like animals. "Get on the fucking ground", "Don't you fucking move" ... these aren't the commands of an officer sworn to protect the citizens, these are the commands of a power-driven, egomaniacal, paramilitary police force who continue to abuse their power and assault private citizens without due cause and without repercussion. A phone call does not warrant that response.

Police are thugs, SWAT is worse. Its a shame we've come to this as a country, and nobody seems to care.

Not to mention that, after he complied with no signs of resistance, he still gets a boot in the back from these thugs. The guy even jumps off his back foot a couple times, just to make sure his entire body weight is on him. Good thing he could hear them over the headphones, or he'd have likely been shot in the back. That's the price you pay for not resisting.

"Hello! SWAT team! May we come in? Good day to you sir. We have reports that you may be manufacturing illegal narcotics and in possession of firearms in violation of your parole. Would you kindly lie down upon the floor so we can ensure that it is safe to enter your abode?"

This kind of attitude is why were seeing a more militarized police. Police is made of of society. Everyone is growing to be uptight over entitled pricks.. so that's all there is to choose from when hiring police.

Chill out. The guy was given bad information about the suspect. Its not his fault it happened. He acted appropriatly for the situation. Hes a person like you and me.

The actual victim in the story isn'tas butt hurt about what happened as you are.
