They don't need a stinkin' warrant. The cops just happened to be passing by, peeked thru the window and observered some eatin' and drinkin' goin' on afterhours. That gave them PC to bust the door in and go to work.

Well hell, it's Atlanta, it's not like there is anything else for the cops to be doing late at night. These people were a serious threat to the safety of law abiding citizens. (my phone won't do purple).

I weap over what has become of our country. But hey, it's being investigated, surely that will turn up any wrong doing.

“They was talking real ugly up in here, man. If it was in Buckhead, they wouldn't even be here,” Culberson said.

Mr. Culberson must be new to Atlanta.

If it's brown, it's down. Welcome to the dirty, dirty, Mr. Culberson.

Cops were just PO'd cause there wasnt anyone in the parking lot they could follow for two blocks and pull over for DUI.

Warrant? We don't need no stinking warrants! If we didn't break in, they would have consumed all the evidence.

exactly, those dam criminals was destroying evidence. So naturally that created exigent circumstance enough to forego the need for a warrant. I mean, we should be thankful. Just think how many dangerous criminals were apprehended in this perfectly legal, and righteous execution of police power.

Here's a bit about the "Atlanta Eagle" club raid from 2009, mentioned in the article.

Federal lawsuit filed against Atlanta police over raid at gay club

The suit alleges undercover officers entered the bar before 11 p.m. and had a drink, then later "began screaming at patrons and employees to 'hit the floor' and get down on the ground.""Several plaintiffs were in terror and feared for their lives, believing that the Eagle was being robbed or invaded by criminals or gay-bashers who might kill or injure them," the suit continues.

Other officers came in, including the "Red Dog Unit," a special force that provides "aggressive police presence" in areas with high drug use, the suit said, citing the Atlanta Police Web site. Many of the officers in that unit were wearing black, paramilitary-style clothing not immediately recognizable as police uniforms, the suit says.

While lying on the floor, some people asked permission to move away from the broken glass and were told to "stay down and shut the [expletive] up," the suit alleges. In all, they lay on the floor for 30 minutes to more than two hours, as they were released one by one or in small groups, the suit says.

For INGO members unfamiliar with Hotlanta, the Red Dog Unit was a drug enforcement unit in Atlanta. Run Every Drug Dealer Out of Georgia.

It was formed to target drug crimes but soon expanded into all kinds of rogue operations including shake downs of the gay district, hassling attractive co-eds in the colleges in Atlanta and, of course, keeping brown down.

It became a liability magnet for the city and was disbanded earlier this year.

In response to the quote Rambone posted, it's a very sad day when the citizens are afraid of the police.

I wouldn't mind hassling a few attractive co-eds myself.

If you are in Atlanta and not afraid of the police, it is a sad day because you don't know what kind of mess you are in.

OP...your thoughts?

another case of jbts gone wild. people sitting in a bar drinking and eating nobody hurting nobody and here come the keystone kops kicking in doors and threatening them. why do the police feel the need to do this?

 

[Armed Eastsider]

I just dont understand why its ok for the government to tell a business what time they have to close, or what days they can or cant be open. It is a total abuse of power.

God, they are going to be controlling EVERYTHING soon.

History has proven there is never a shortage of simple men willing to follow orders.

Ever try to buy a car on Sunday in Indiana???? Or a six-pack of beer on Sunday at your local Kroger??? I agree, what right does the state have in this kind of regulation?
