all of this happened due to some nosey ass neighbor....how many times have we seen a nosey neighbor call the cops and get some BS started like this? Is there anyone in this forum that would actually call the cops if their neighbors had a couple of “pot/hemp” plants growing in their back yard?

“If you have never been dealt with by the police by undue force you will not understand this … My eyes have been wide opened! My life forever changed. As hard as this has been, I am grateful for a new perspective. I leave my house feeling watched, feeling violated. If my brothers and sisters of another race feel this daily for the color of their skin, I am heartbroken. I apologize for my lack of understanding. No innocent person should ever feel fear, contempt, alienation for just trying to live and work. Your lives matter to me! I’m sorry it took personal experience to understand. I love my Heavenly Father and I know he loves each of us! May the power of atonement heal us all!!!”

“When we got to the house, we drove into a cul-de-sac full of unmarked vehicles,” Mike Reynolds said. “We were met by 12-15 men armed with AR-15s.” He said a deputy told him it was a good thing the dog was confined in an upstairs bathroom, or she could have gotten shot.

It suddenly gets real when it happens to you...

“He was playing Fortnight, which is pretty loud, and all of a sudden he said he was looking down the barrel of a gun. They put it away real fast, but he was pretty shaken. Thank goodness he had the ear buds in. He asked me, ‘What if I’d been playing ‘Call of Duty’ without the ear buds? They would have heard gunshots and I could have had my brains splattered out against the wall…’ He should not be having thoughts like that. It blows my mind. I teach my kids safe practices. I don’t think he’s going to grow up and be a police officer.”

This adds validity to the thinking behind the "no snitch" policy in the hood.

Now, lets back away from this for a moment. The vaccines and COVID restrictions are coming... tattletales are going to be empowered to turn in neighbors that don't wear masks or keep social distancing. this is going to be a huge problem in the future. And these cops are not going to think 1 second about violating your rights to enforce some petty azz law brought on by a snitching neighbor.

so how would you handle this?

for the past several days your neighborhood has had a vehicle with super dark tinted windows driving thru the neighborhood and stopping where kids( young) are playing in the yard but when parents approach pull off. Should he be pulled over and identified or just left alone? How would you want this handled?

The parents that approached and made an effort to get to the bottom of it should call the police. They've done their due diligence and were good neighbors.

If more LEO's had this mindset, the world would be a better place. I've met some really great police, and I've met a few turds as well with one of which being a Chaplain for the Knox County Sheriff's Office (this guy was a complete douche like you wouldn't believe and was a borderline thief).

I believe I know him. Was he also claiming to have been a trooper in Florida when he actually wasn’t.
