OUTRAGEOUS: Police In Boston Trample On Constitution

The terrorist attack in Boston and ensuing events in Watertown had everyone on edge, but shocking new home video from Massachusetts show law enforcement officers trampling over the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution – which guarantees “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures…  and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

A video recently uploaded to YouTube by residents whose home was searched reveal that earlier accounts of ‘voluntary searches’ were nothing more than an outright lie.

The video, recorded by a neighbor show SWAT team members surrounding a home with ‘assault riffles,’ pounding on the door ordering the home’s residents to let them in.

Once the door is open, law enforcement screams inside the house at the innocent homeowners to ‘get your hands in the air.’  Next they order – in what is obviously not a voluntary search – for the residents of the home to ‘get out.’

The first home owner comes out of the house with hands lifted, then once on the porch lowers them to his side.  Immediately, his hands are roughly thrown into the air by an armed government agent who then nudges the man down his own steps and out into the city street – as no fewer than six armed men enter his home while dozens of other law enforcement agents have the home surrounded.

Moments later, with guns still pointed toward the home, what appears to be an underage boy exits the home, with arms lifted high into the air.

He too, lowers his arms once he is on the street, but SWAT members again, scream at him – forcing his hands into the air.

In total, at least six people were forced out of their own home at gun point, frisked, then sent farther down the street while police raided their property in search of terrorists and illegal weapons.

The behavior of police is raising alarm, from one of the most unlikely sources, British news agencies.

Monday, the UK’s Daily Mail criticized law enforcement for ordering Dumitru Ciuc’s family out of their home and using house as a staging area, “taking out the windows and ripping down curtains and window blinds  to monitor the boat.

“‘They didn’t say nothing,’ about why they  were there.

“‘They just said leave the house and go up the  street.’

“While the circumstances clearly led many to  be sympathetic to the needs of the police, now that the manhunt is over, critics  are fearful of the consequences of such cooperation in the future.

“The specific concerns stems from the  rejection of the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable  searches and seizures.”

Calling the event a “scary precedent,” the Daily mail writes, “While armies of police roamed around  people’s homes and private property, Public transportation was shut down,  businesses were forced to close, and a no-fly zone was enacted over Boston in an  unprecedented show of force…  At this point, as military helicopters  buzzed over neighborhoods, the Fourth Amendment had ceased to exist in Boston,  which quickly resembled a war zone.’”

Another writer states, “Your first instinct is to say, well these are extreme measures in an extreme case, but I will remind you that this is a city where law enforcement hates for the public to be well armed.  What do you think they would have done if they came across a shotgun someone had by the door – in hopes of defending his home – in the event that this terrorist would be trying to break in and kill his children?  They’d treated him like the terrorist…  Look, the government takes guns in situations like this – just look at Katrina – and I argue that situations like this is precisely why the Second Amendment was written.”

Very ugly and bloody or all the liberal sissies will bend over and take it from uncle sam like they have been taught in the public schools and colleges of the USA.

The Patriot Act allows the police to suspend civil liberties and rights when "terrorism" is involved. We just got a taste of it. What if the police used this as an excuse to round up any and all firearms just as they did in New Orleans. It will be happening one day.

Liberal progressives have already trashed and twisted the Constitution into pretzels, can we expect any better when it comes to our Bill of Rights?  The videos above are a reminder of where we are now, and how much worse it is going to get into the near future, while the masses sit on their hands, ipods, cells, pc's, big screens, and sleep.

I thought the Republicans introduced the Patriot Act?

Pretty amazing when one 19 yr. old can bring a city the size of boston to a complete standstill? Shut down air traffic and clear the streets. I guess if you were to exit your home on your own, you would have probably been shot, by the very people who are supposed to protect you.

From what I've seen, law enforncment needs more practice on control and acuracy and less on volume.

I have to give the two brothers credit.  They made our nation's birthplace of liberty (Boston) look like a communist police state for a while.  Liberal or Conservative, Democrat or Republican, most politicians we have seem to believe that individual rights and privileges are a bad thing (until you try to infringe on their own rights and privileges, the hypocrites). 

The terrorists are winning, but look at the bright side.  In the future, if you refuse to allow your rights to be taken away, you're going to be labeled a terrorist!

The Republicans like Bush may have introduced the Patriot Act, but they didn't push it to the limits of authoritarianism that Obama has, not even close. The Tea Party activists are a prime example of good Americans standing up for their rights and being labeled as terrorists, so sayeth Biden and Obama.
