Reply to comment by AbsentEmpire in Philadelphia police raid leads to seizure of weapons, ATVs, fighting dogs in Kensington by dc122186

I'm going to guess it's more likely because an atv rider smashed a cop window the other day.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was related to that. They'll work if they're at risk.

At least how the article is written, and they definitely get stuff wrong so who knows, it sounds like the off-road vehicles were an unplanned bonus. It was the Narcotics division serving warrants.

If the windshield smash had occurred and they saw where the riders returned to then went to seize them as payback, I'd get it and say yeah.

But a windshield smash probably didn't lead to suddenly cooking up narcotics warrants. I don't see any connection there.

Unless they ID'd the vehicles, somebody spotted where they were stored, then they staked out the place, saw some drug deals occurring, then got the warrants, which is possible.

It’s refreshing to see people support cops raiding criminals. 2 years ago this would have been considered oppressive or even racist. Glad to see normality might been closer around the corner than I thought.

I know it’s harvest season, dude, but there ain’t enough straw in the world for the army you’re trying to build.

Just glad to see people support these types of raids. I’ll be a martyr and take the downvotes, I know it’s hard for people to accept.

This was very much a "Cops are only protecting their own" post.

This sub has been very "Pro stop the ATV/dirt-bike shit" for years. You're delusional if you think otherwise. Cops only seem to do something if it's their skin in the game. Oink oink.

If that’s the case I’m glad to see our interests are aligned. Shower me with downvotes, I’ll be the martyr for people’s reluctance to accept it.

FYI losing internet points with no value is not “being a martyr.” Words have meaning.

I don’t think the downvotes are coming from your opinion, but rather the “I told you so” dunking you’re attempting.

I don't think anybody was sticking up for the drug dealers in Kensington. Shit, not even the drug dealers in Kensington stick up for the drug dealers in Kensington.
