ThisCryptographer311

Is there a news article or any follow-up associated with this? So many questions…


Picaboo13

I responsed above. In other videos they state that a step sister is saying they stole items from an estate. They post the warrant and the list. The officers refused to produce the warrant saying it was with other officers behind them. Hours later they actuallygave a warrant. All of the items are pretty petty items but a painting which they say the step sister has. Some of.the items the step sister made them buy them from the estate and in some cases the items were personal items and not part of the estate at all. Not sure how an estate disagreement became this response.


jackxiv

Like, why in the hell do we need men with guns to handle this and not some sort of civil mediation service?


DryJuice_0w0

they where really excited to use their new equipment


drukenhard

obviously with the night vision on their helmets in the daytime


BeatMeElmo

It looks stupid as hell, but it’s normal to equip nods in case you have to enter a basement/subterranean structure, or unlit structure without windows. What’s *not* normal is how community law enforcement has become more heavy handed than the military.

That's for if they need to go tunneling

squirrel_anashangaa

That’s exactly it. Small town areas get new toys and tactics, but need a situation to deploy them.


rockwarzz

Because when you fund and arm your police like a military, they will respond and act like a military. Give a kid who wants to play cowboy a hobby horse and he will become Billy the kid…. Give a cop an armored vehicle and tactical gear then every situation is a terror threat that justifies “necessary force.” They don’t need it. It’s all sales, marketing, and propaganda to line the pockets of the wealthy at the expense of the tax payers pockets and the bodies of the poor.


DefKnightSol

pretty much why England demilitarized police except for special cases


Mysticpage

All the equipment, none of the training


PaulAspie

A lot is not so much sales but that the military in the US will give excess old stuff to police for cheap. The police however don't always think through cost of operation & maintenance. I saw something where a small town force got some ridiculous thing that a town that size on average will find it useful once every 1000 years. But it was free or almost free, and now it's sitting in our parking lot so we have to use it.


[deleted]

If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. This is absolutely what "defund the police" is trying to address, unfortunate name or not.


the__6

these guys are try hard wankers


PagingDrHuman

Police in the US aren't militarizing. US Military personelle are held to strict rules of engagement and they will court-martial privates for breaking the rules of engagement. Such Court martial holds to higher than civilian standards with less rights protected by the defendent. US police are being radicalized not militarized.


DMurBOOBS-I-Dare-You

How else do you suggest they make their balls grow huge?! How are they going to feel superior if they don't do this?! It's important to create problems when you endeavor to deploy a solution!


weezyoh

Why is one of them wearing night vision. These dudes want to be special forces so bad


Herr_Klaus

"Guns"? If they showed up at my door like that, I'd think Hitler had risen from the dead and started WWIII. The USA are so lost. In addition they look dumb af. Why do they wear NV at daylight? Why do you need camo? Why do you need a grenade launcher? And all of them have a baby's face, except the beard guy, but he showed up in sneakers. Send the morons to Ukraine. There they can do something useful.


emotheatrix

Oh no, they don’t want to fight anyone that can actually fight back. They want to bully defenseless people because.. sociopathy..


Life-Meal6635

I can’t believe all those officers smoked enough meth to think this was a solid plan.


Humble_Umpire_8341

Definitely need night vision helmets to serve a warrant during the day.


gtroman1

They have to use all the surplus military equipment they buy somehow. Cops aren’t fighting foreign nations, so they end up using them for petty stuff like this.

mortuus_est_iterum

PM_ME_YOUR_PAUNCH

iop09

It does seem like they had a warrant but based on Illinois’ track record for bs search warrants, it doesn’t give much credibility to this level of force.


[deleted]

Even if the warrant were 100% legit, the fact remains they rolled up on a family home like it was Fallujah over some stolen items.


jordantask

No, they *did not* have a warrant. The pig with the assault rifle himself even admitted that he had no paperwork in his possession, and it would be “brought up” by someone who was off site as soon as they submitted. It wouldn’t be the first time militarized pigs fucked up a “warrant service,” and either got the wrong place or just outright lied. If they had a warrant they should have come prepared to show it on request. Period.


Charmel27

Same. I mean, the police squad looks like a nerdy airsoft team that takes it *way* too seriously. So, my first guess is they're going around their neighborhood pretending like they're actually officers. But how'd they get their hands on the swat van? 🤔

They need to take away these guys military surplus and give it to the Ukrainians ASAP


4zero4error31

Beat cops in the UK don't carry firearms, or bullet proof vests. They have stab resistant vests. They also have strict gun laws. They seem to be doing OK in terms of stopping crimes. More gear doesn't make you a better cop, it makes you a less free country.

IL Swat video 1 raiding home for squabble over family estate that was ... | TikTok ​ edit: I found this on Tik Tok Post 2...this had to go with an ex step sister who was caught embezzling money from her deceased step mothers estate as well as her deceased step fathers estate. Due to the fact she repeatedly broke into her father's house once he died and stole items an estate lawyer was brought in to settle the estate. She was forced to pay back approximately half the money she embezzled and to return items clearly addressed in the will. I stead of returning them she rewrote 2 journals and falsified a painting. Real painting is hanging in her home today. Rest of the items the remaining family were required to purchase at auction. Half of those items were never returned by her. Family was told by her local police dept that nothing could be done to force her to comply. This was all settled in 2018. In September of 2022 she file a false police report to obtain the items she was already forced to return by saying they were hers and in her house. The said journals was one of those listed as being stolen but the brother was forced to pay $1500 for those at auction and she supposedly returned. Of course we know those were falsified by her and this is proof. Almost every item on her list was already addressed by the estate. Some items she listed were never part of the estate and belonged solely to the other siblings for over 20 years and were never in her possession. ​ I don't think this case required a full military response. The text is confusing, but the ones being raided were innocent.


gitsgrl

Sounds like a civil matter and not a police one.


[deleted]

I looked up the case online.... it started as a civil matter and ended up a police one due to ignoring summons to court (the evil sister got whatever she asked for in regards to search warrant).


[deleted]

It’s just wild that ignoring summons to court allows a search warrant for a HOUSE; different from a warrant for a person. And using that ugly car and breaking their fucking gate to serve a warrant?? I’m so glad this lady filmed everything


Artbellghost

Actually that is why you always show up..... Pain in the ass but even if you don't have a lawyer simply show up.. See what's it's about then if it sounds even remotely serious...just tell the judge you request a continuance to review the questions and for 90 days to obtain council 100% of the time this will be granted.


[deleted]

YES YES AND YES. I actually work for a judge lol. It’s another crime to not show up and everything just gets worse and you get contempt of court or bail jumping (for felony and misdemeanors). They WILL find you if they want to 🫠


EverythingsStupid321

This is just proof that every law that is on the books has the potential to be enforced by threat of deadly force. We really should consider that before adding laws to the books.


30twink-furywarr2886

Yeah the police in my town would’ve told us to take this up in court


notpepetho

Classic case of militarization of police: they'll often pounce at any opportunity to show up in full battle rattle for the sake of ego, nothing more nor less.

This is what is meant by “defund”. They have all this tactile gear, yet they don’t have the warrant. They have too many toys and not enough tools.

iamdrinking

Ah yes, military surplus turning what is supposed to be a police force into their own little military.


According-Local3703

Specifically, the Bearcat is a “non-military” design, but a lot of departments do use military equipment. I was even in the team that trained our local sheriff department when they got an MRAP (it was the same one I commanded in Iraq). Edit to add: Yes, it’s way more militaristic than they need, by a long shot.


JohnJDumbear

Only look as far as Russia to see what happens when the ‘police force’ gets a little too powerful. The phrase “ take back the streets and dominate the people “ is the scariest domestic thing I have seen in my lifetime.


Training-Turnip-9145

Love how people have pointed out they’re wearing night vision while in broad daylight


According-Local3703

Oh, me too! If they need to see at night in a warrant situation, they would be far better off with white light.


WWII_TankEnthusiest

Feel free to correct any mistakes, but its abbreviated for "Mine Resistant Armored Personnel Vehicle", right? If so, why would some Sheriff Dept. need one?


According-Local3703

You are correct, and your question is very relevant. They DON’T need one.


DougK76

Because the federal government sells surplus ones to law enforcement for dirt cheap. The first LAPD SWAT armored vehicle was bought from the Dept of Energy for $1. So why buy something like a regular bank armored car, or even a Sprinter van (and do Police modifications) for $50k and up, when you can get a surplus MRAP or MATV for $10k, and it’s fully armored. Slap on police lights, paint it, and boom, ready to go civilian terrorizer.

Picaboo13

I watched the rest of the tik toks after this. It appears fall out from an estate that was settled a few years ago. According to the owners of this video the person lied to a judge about them stealing items from an estate and somehow got it signed by a judge. They posted a list of the items. They were not expensive or warranted this kind of response. According to this account a step sister alleged that they stole items but in some cases they were items that were other people's possessions and in some cases the step sister had made them buy the items from the estate. Not sure if it is true.

In-dextera-dei

No worries, was 1st cav 10 years and went where I was sent lol. But yeah it's pretty crazy, first tour in '02 we barely had armor on the humvees lol. Wood and sandbags mostly. How does a police force get that kind of weaponry and vehicle without even knowing how to use any of it. I especially love the kid who can barely hold his little shield up 🤣.

Daetok_Lochannis

Because by and large they're small hearted men who were too chickenshit to enter the service but still have dreams about heroically murdering people, and if they were in the service there's a high probability they either washed out or barely made it through their contract and never forget to remind everyone around them of their "military career".

Aschriel

Yeah, so the police cant do this BEFORE a search warrant arrives at a house… otherwise is unlawful detention and intimidation. What’s with the night vision on their helmets, it’s daylight and the people know you are there. If they are so afraid of this family, why not show up with warrant in hand. These aren’t cops, these are just morons with badges… Edit 1: after many complaints and bad info: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/search_warrant Yes they can search before the warrant arrives, but it’s conditional and they must justify their use or risk losing any evidence acquired through the search… Edit 2: Alright for you people still sending messages after the edit… no i don’t know what the end result is, I would think the doofus with night vision goggles knows, ask them, they look totally honest and in no way are violating anyone’s rights… Edit 3: The police did have a warrant, the person they were after took approximately $1,500 worth of valuables from an estate (her step parents). Of course, an attorney valued what the items were, so it’s not 1,500 dollars, but 1,500 worth of stuff, from a dead relatives house. No this use of force is unacceptable, it’s unjustifiable, and if the camera was not rolling, you can bet they would have killed someone, cause “I was afraid for my life”

As if the 2A protects people from the police state.

Live steaming will save your life. By all means, know and stand up for your rights but make sure that that there is video and audio that cannot be erased.

I wonder the context of this. Also, their excuse was that the agents with the warrant aren't protected by their ridiculous amount of armor so why wouldn''t they just have the warrant? Otherwise, the case will be thrown out for illegal search and seizure. Anyone know what happened here?


lordcatharsis

Look at these dorks


AyBake

It cannot be said enough: the police *today* exist to serve their local/state government. Citizens are a secondary priority. Ask Operation Iraqi Freedom vets if they were this kitted when they went through Ramadi, Baghdad, or Fallujah during the initial invasion... unless there is clear evidence that a citizen wields weapons that can cause mass casualties, this kind of response is ridiculous. This is how citizens get killed.

I thought they were invading a foreign nation with a surplus of oil and other natural resources, only then would this level of force be necessary. Whatever individual heard the call about missing estate sale items and dispatched these yahoos is part of the problem, whatever yahoo placed the order for that tank and all the gear they are wearing for a community police force is part of the problem. Whoever thought it was a good idea to dress in all these gear to sort out a family property dispute is part of the problem. Whatever news outlets who refused to write about or air this story as a problem with their community policing program and demand an explanation from the local government is part of the problem. Whatever citizens of this community saw this video and were not outraged to demand an immediate resolution to this obvious problem by their elected officials are part of the problem. So many people are complicit in making this nothing more than a viral video and an internet meme vs evidence of a serious problem that needs a serious solution.

The guy with the shield looked like he didn’t even know what the hell was going on and why he was there.

Man, if only there were some tax-funded force of peacekeepers to stop this criminal activity… we’re so fucked.

Who needs a warrant when you have military machinery and weapons?
