No Really: SWAT Team Raids House at 6 AM and Handcuffs Father of Three Young Kids to Execute a Dept. of Education Search Warrant for Estranged Wife's Defaulted Student Loans


Matt Welch | June 8, 2011

When will someone realize there's a popular politics to be had AGAINST this kind of shit?I know Mike Riggs just mentioned it in the morning links, but if this story isn't a wake-up call about the militarization of police and criminalization of everything, then I'm afraid the patient is even deader than the Fourth Amendment. Read this, and weep for what your country has become:

    STOCKTON, CA - Kenneth Wright does not have a criminal record and he had no reason to believe a S.W.A.T team would be breaking down his door at 6 a.m. on Tuesday.

    "I look out of my window and I see 15 police officers," Wright said.

    Wright came downstairs in his boxer shorts as a S.W.A.T team barged through his front door. Wright said an officer grabbed him by the neck and led him outside on his front lawn.

    "He had his knee on my back and I had no idea why they were there," Wright said.

    According to Wright, officers also woke his three young children ages 3, 7, and 11 and put them in a Stockton police patrol car with him. Officers then searched his house.

    As it turned out, the person law enforcement was looking for was not there - Wright's estranged wife.

    "They put me in handcuffs in that hot patrol car for six hours, traumatizing my kids," Wright said. [...]

    The U.S. Department of Education issued the search and called in the S.W.A.T for his wife's defaulted student loans.

I posted this in the police state thread.  


Insane.   I am really hoping for a homeowner to go Leonard from the Professional once and awhile.

Cops were justified. The kid had it coming.

The bank should have sent Walker Texas Ranger.
