10 to 1 the city fixes a door, soothes a few wounds with some minor $ ... and, POOF the story disappears into the sunset Originally Posted by CJ7You may be right, 10 to 1 says that they will at least think beforehand, about not doing something (allegedly) so very stupid the next time. And maybe other police departments will do the same, which is truly what matters.

Did you even read the links? In addition to breaking his door down, the cops violated his civil rights when he was on the floor of his own house with his hands over his head by firing multiple pepperball rounds at him simply because he did not respond to conflicting commands by the officers. They also arrested his father and barged into his mother's house after she opened the door for them and told them they could not come in. So much for your open the door BS and there would be no problem!
And that makes everything OK?
If there was no genuine, life-threatening emergency at the neighbor's house, and all this was nothing more than some cops feeling macho, then some of those cops need to be suspended or fired.
And the city should pay a BIG settlement. One that will make their eyes water.
It is the only way to stop the storm-trooper mentality that has seized so many police departments. Originally Posted by ExNYer

All Trayvon had to do was go home...
Most communities have the same standard; if the police do not have a felony warrant, they can knock at your door and ask you to come outside. If you do not wish to then they have little choice but to leave. Now if they have a misdemeanor warrant then they can position themselves outside until you try to leave. In this case there was no warrant and no lawful reason to knock the door down. It is funny that the same people who don't like the police, and say that George Zimmerman should have did as he was "ordered", are the same people here who say that you should bend over to any and all police orders; lawful or not. Pussies!
CJ must have a long dick....he keeps stepping on it. The domestic disturbance was NEXT DOOR. The police had no right to enter the other house for something happening next door. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn
