A depressed Army reservist who made a phone call for help says dozens of police responded by surrounding his home and arresting him, vandalizing and searching his place without a warrant, seizing his dog and killing his tropical fish.

Matthew Corrigan, who lives alone with his dog, sued the District of Columbia in D.C. Federal Court.

Confronted with a massive police presence after his plea for help, Corrigan says, he denied officers permission to enter his house, but they entered and trashed it anyway, saying, "I don't have time to play this constitutional bulls**t!"

Corrigan says the debacle started on Feb. 2, 2010.

"Corrigan telephoned what he believed to be the 'Military's Emotional Support Hotline' because he was depressed and had not slept for several days," the complaint states.

"The number Corrigan called was in fact the National Suicide Hotline. When he stated that he was a veteran, he was asked if he had firearms, to which he said yes. He said nothing about being suicidal or using a firearm or threatening anyone. After a short conversation, Corrigan hung up, turned off the phone, took prescribed sleeping medication, and went to bed.

"At approximately 4 a.m. in the morning of Feb. 3, 2010, Corrigan awoke because he heard his name being called over a bullhorn. There were floodlights outside his front and back doors and an estimated 8 police officers in the back yard and 20 in the front yard.

"Corrigan turned on his phone and found that Officer Fischer of the 5th District was calling him, asking him to come out, which he did at about 4:50 a.m., locking the door behind him. He was handcuffed and put in the back of a SWAT truck.

"When Officer John Doe I (upon information and belief, Officer John Doe I is Lieutenant Robert Glover) asked Corrigan for the key to his apartment, he informed the officer: 'There is no way I am giving you consent to enter my place.' Officer John Doe I stated: 'I don't have time to play this constitutional bullshit!' and ordered that Officers John Does II-V, members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT), enter the apartment." (Parentheses in complaint).

This guy is a win-win situation for you; because if he had committed suicide, you would have then been able to bitch and moan that the Police should have done something once the Suicide Hot Line contacted them.
Especially since he called a SUICIDE HOT LINE and ADMITTED THAT HE HAD GUNS IN THE HOUSE.

I bet you had an orgasim, when you found this one.

what a moronically retarded post you've given us. Do you think if I was upset about them NOT stopping his suicide, I might have bitched about the amount of time they took to gather 20 cops outside his door? No!. What I DID bitch about is the officer in charge flippant response about not having time for constitutional bullshit. Not that you give a shit about the constitution. we all know you love that police state.

And we all know that you'll bend over and surrender, the first time you have a real confrontation with the Police; because you don't have the common sense to respond in such a way that not only can information be gathered, but also to challange the reason why.

when did you start speaking jibberish? would you care to comment on the OP? or do you just want to continue being a cop sucker?

so you can't refute that cops disregard the constitution, you just want to redirect the focus of their misconduct. you could have just told us that.

this is disgusting. now, we will have depressed people who won't use the hotline (supposed to be anonymous??) because of these arrogant police officers. if the police officer actually used those words, i hope he is fired as this violates their oath and the highest law of our land. there was no exigency exception here.

wtf is USF defending this?

Because how much screaming do you think the left would do, if this person had committed suicide (after making the call) or worse, had gone and killed other people and then either committed suicide or suicide by Cop.
As to entering the home, how many people have rigged bombs in their homes and then committed suicide

It's real easy - REALLY EASY - to sit here, point fingers, and condemn the actions of others; while only having part or very little information.
Just take a look at STY's thread of the women who was raped by the Policeman.
He posted it; but decided to leave off the part where the Officer was convicted, just so he could get a bunch of people to think that the Officer had recieved no consequence.

Would you want to be found guilty of something, based on the information that is posted on this forum.

Look how quick everyone was to jump on the bandwagon, when Poet lied and got someone banned.

I'm not DEFENDING anyone.
What I am doing is standing up against CONDEMNING others, with very little info.

ANd

Look how easy it is for the left to excuse the behavior of those that they agree with.
Poet said he would abuse a woman, by slapping her. He was rebuked, made a half-assed explanation (notice no apology), and has been welcomed back into their fold, with open arms.

Way to many posters on here have "knee-jerk" syndrome and it's heavy on the jerk part.

Came back to add another "point".
What are you suggesting?
Do you now feel that the Cops are monitoring the hotline?
How do you know what the person who contacted the Cops told them?

 

[Cancel 2018. 3]

for not defending, you sure are defending them. everything you mention is pure speculation. perhaps you support being convicted for future crimes....

it is knee jerk (according to the report or complaint), he had not threatened anyone, merely expressed feelings of depression.

Corrigan telephoned what he believed to be the 'Military's Emotional Support Hotline' because he was depressed and had not slept for several days," the complaint states.

"The number Corrigan called was in fact the National Suicide Hotline. When he stated that he was a veteran, he was asked if he had firearms, to which he said yes. He said nothing about being suicidal or using a firearm or threatening anyone.

if that is true, then how can you say it is not knee jerk? i don't know if the police are monitoring the hotline or not. all i know is that he called the number and the national one, according to their website, says it is confidential. just because others may complain about the result had it gone another way, does not mean we should run around violating constitutional rights because some other scenario "might" happen.

Isn't speculation what everyone else is doing?
OH-but they're basing their speculation on an OP-ED piece. That way they can always fall back on the old "I was just going off what I read" excuse.

You might want to check with a suicide hot line and see what their protocal is, when someone calls, says they're depressed, responds positively to the question about firearms, and then hangs up; because it appears that you believe they're just supposed to log in the call and then move on to the next call.

who else is speculating? i'm basing my opinion on the complaint which the OP cited. you're basing your beliefs on a wild "what if" they didn't do X and then he did Y etc....

it says confidential on the website, if you have additional information, do share.

I"m not going to do your work for you.
If you want to base your comprehension level on what an OP-ED piece says, then you go for it.
I'm just not sure how far such a goal will carry you, in life.

you should spend more time reading what people actually said instead making ASSumptions yourself. i never based my beliefs solely on the OP, i told you it was based on the complaint and my view of their website. if you want to make a different point and then blindly bash my belief, while offering zero support for yours, go pound sand.

Thanks for proving my point.
When I offered you different information, you wanted me to provide you with something; but you based your posts on what the OP-ED had to say.,

Ergo: you wanted to believe them; but dismissed anything that didn't agree with your own ASSumptions.
I hope that "sand pounding" wasn't to abrasive on your tender skin.

you did not offer any different information that was not based on ASSumption. you're truly bizarre. and why do you keep lying that i relied on just what the op ed said?
