They showed video of armed officers with AR-15's showing up after dark, going into houses to "clear" them. They showed them, literally going room to room, with NO HOMEOWNER PRESENT. They asked one idiot whose house had just been searched, oops, I mean "cleared" how he felt about it. He said "reassured". THIS is what we're dealing with folks. WHAT, the sheep man wasn't sure that Morales wasn't in his house, so he had to invite the police in TO SEARCH (and inventory) IT???
THAT'LL be the day. If they came knocking at my door, the conversation (held on my front porch, with front door shut/locked behind me) would sound something like this - Officer: "Sir, as you know, there is a very dangerous escaped convict who might be somewhere in the area. We are doing a safety check of all houses searching for him. We'd like to come into your home to have a look around to see what we can find; er, I mean to see if the escaped convict is hiding somewhere inside." Me: "No thanks, my home is secure". Officer, with AR-15 at the ready and SEVERAL armed reinforcement behind him: "sir, I insist, we MUST come inside and check your house!" Me: "do you have a signed search warrant?" Officer: "no, we don't need one in this situation, it's protect you and your neighbors." Me: "yes, you do. My home is secure, and I DON'T CONSENT TO ANY SEARCHES." Officer: "sir, please don't cause problems, you are getting in the way of me doing my job." Me: "do you have a search warrant?" Officer: "no, but I can get one; make it easy on yourself". Me: "Then go get one. In the meantime, please get off of my property." Welcome to the new USofA, in Texas, no less. Tyranny knows no bounds.
