In Stockton, California, Kenneth Wright was at home with his three young children ages 3, 7, and 11 when a SWAT team burst into his home at 6 a.m., dragged him out on the lawn, threw him to the ground, and put the family (including the kids) in squad cars. His alleged crime: default on student loans. On top of the overkill in using SWAT teams to target defaulting students, the city got it wrong. They were looking for Wright’s estranged wife. The D.O.E. now insists that it was not just about loans but part of a criminal investigation that it was carrying out. There has been an expansion of SWAT teams with the infusion of federal funds, often connected to anti-terror programs. Departments appear to be searching for ways to use them, including as jonathanturley.org/2011/0...-accused-of-cockfighting/. In this case, Apocalypse Now was unleashed by the Department of Education as it called in the police for a defaulted student. The Office of the Inspector General has a law enforcement branch of federal agents that carry out search warrants and investigations. However the Stockton Police Department said that it only provided one officer and one patrol car and did not participate in breaking Wright’s door, handcuffing him, or searching his home. Does this mean that the Department of Education now has shock troops? The Department admitted that it issued the search warrant. That is pretty disturbing that the Department of Education now has authority to issue search warrants and trigger raids on homes. Recently when the Education Department bought 27 shotguns it released the following statement:....

The Department admitted that it issued the search warrant. A loan default seems like a civil case, not a criminal one. The real problem is that there's more criminals working for AG Eric Holder and hObama, than there are in jail. We need to let a few crack dealers out of jail to make room for government scum. But first we need a president and AG willing to enforce the constitution and rule of law.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Yeah. Good luck with THAT one! IF we are lucky we will replace the far left wing fascist in the WH now with a mere left wing Fascist with a R behind his name. Nothing will be changed but the labels.

As I told someone who works for LAPD the other day... with these kinds of tactics, and the police chiefs whining about how there's a "War on Cops," if they keep this crap up, they'll get one... As for searching the guys' house, what did they think they would find? Cash to pay off the loan? I mean, these idiots need to get real.
List of those unable to think: Bumper sticker on DwarF's car: Right now they are the only side doing any fighting. If the day ever comes when the honest citizens decide to start fighting back they will lose ALL of their enthusiasm for door kicking.
