If these officers would take a minute to explain themselves, they might save themselves a lot of trouble. Serving warrants is one of the few valid things police do, though they still are using stolen funds to do it, and the court system probably isn’t issuing warrants in a just manner either. But theoretically, this is one of the things police ought to be doing, rather than having individual discretion to make arrests.
In not-so-distant American history (like up until the 1960s maybe), private citizens could serve warrants, and take people to court. If a private citizen carelessly served a warrant on the wrong person, or did unnecessary damage, they would be responsible for making it right (i.e. writing a check). Of course when it’s the government/cops who act carelessly, it’s the citizens who pick up the tab.
Anyway, here’s the roid raging cops, totally screwing everything up.
