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?

I drew the ASSumption that the OP-ED was one sided and that not all the information was available; so I did not draw the ASSumption that they are automatically guilty of something, just because it FELT good.

what is sad is that you don't realize how retarded you are. you bitch and moan that i used the op ed to make an assumption, and then you admit you assumed and you didn't even bother to try and find any additional sources to back up your OPINION. you're just a loser in the peanut gallery that bitches at someone's elses opinion, but does nothing to substantiate that i am wrong.

go pound sand

Time to put up or shut up Yurt.

Show what evidence the Police had, that should have made them aware that they were dealing with someone who wasn't a danger to themselves and possibly others?
 
lmao...yurt....prove a negative because i don't have shit to back up my opinion

you're a crackpot. FACT: according to what we know, he didn't threaten anyone, didn't even say he was going to kill himself.

if you have additional information, put up or shut your pie hole.

:)

I guess you think he called a SUICIDE HOTLINE; because he was needing help with his shopping list.

Your pot cracked a loooooooooooooooong time ago.

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).

Yep you're correct Yurt.
He called the Suicide Hot Line; because he needed help in picking out his clothes for the next day.
The fact that he hadn't slept for a couple of days and answered yes to the question of having any firearms, was just small talk.

Their searching his home had nothing at all to do with safety and it's always better to be an armchair quarterback, then to have to make decisions at the time of the situation.

There, do you feel better now?

It's all the DC Police Dept's fault for worrying enough to tollow through; why I"m surprised that they just didn't shoot him.

Why did they really search his house?
For his safety? Bullshit! They knew that if he had guns, he had ammo. They confiscate his guns, he can someday get them back, if he is lucky. He can NEVER get his ammo back, the cops get to keep it.

here we go again....USF making ASSumptions out of thin air while whining that others make assumptions based on an op ed or complaint.

i'm going with what he claims for now. he filed a complaint and likely a declaration (under penalty of perjury) to support his claim. so until you have something more than your - out of thin air - opinions, pound sand.

And the fact that you're stating it, must mean that it's the truth and I'll have to accept that.
I can see that you're still upset over my questioning the two of you, earlier, and once again, I wish to apologize for that.

No one should ever question the logic that the two of you present. :good4u:

I'm agreeing with you and it hurts to have you respond with such anger.
You and Dune have been able to convince me that the Police were completely in error for following though on the call they recieved from the Suicide Hot Line and they should have just let this person do what ever it was he intended to do.

The facts of him saying he was depressed and responding YES to the question regarding being armed, should have had no bearing on this at all.
I mean it's not like there was anyway that he might have been a threat to himself or others; right?? :awesome:
