Chief defends detaining 40 during Aurora bank robber hunt

Sounds like a great job, the people who weren’t inconvenienced complained about what, that they didn’t get their 15 minutes of fame?

There is no excuse for violating BASIC constitution rights, you unprincipled wannabe tyrant Oates. You should be fired and locked in a cell until you have a clue about what “unlawful detainment” is .
I can’t do that, but I can do this:
Instead of spending ANY of my vacation dollars in CO, I’ll go to Utah or Wyoming instead, just because YOU are a douchebag.
Douchebag.

It’s ironic how people still try to “rob a bank” empirically.

I mean, this so called idiot (oh,I mean “robber”) could’ve easily gotten away with a couple hundred million in the derivatives market, stealing from bank accounts, across the globe. But, he actually pulled a 50s style bank robbery…Give me a break!

What is happening to the intellect of people?

“Oates said the operation, which included handcuffing all the men and some women, was unusual, but necessary.”

Hanging Oates from a lamppost is “necessary.”

I am embarassed for the city of Aurora and its’ citizens. This type of behavior by the police is both outrageous and unconscionable. The Aurora Police Department is not reflective of a professional police agency and if the chief condones this behavior (which by his statements, he clearly does) then he should be arrested and charged with civil rights violations. How many people have died for our country to prevent totalitarian actions like this from happening. The Aurora Police Department and Chief Oates owes America’s veterans, both living and dead, a tremendous apology. Unless and until they provide one, they are a disgrace to everyone that wears a badge. Shame on the Aurora Police Department. They do not reflect anyone else that is a professional law enforcement officer!

Sensationalism?  

Oates,

Having guns pointed at you for no reason is grounds for self-defense.

What would have happened to your officers had several of these kidnap victims fought back? We Americans are ARMED too you know.

Are you so arrogant to not understand/care what your department has done?  How do you think this will affect your men now that people will start viewing every officer they come across as a threat? Was it worth your “convenience” of trampling everybody’s rights -in mass and backed by lethal-force no less- to now have lost whatever legitimacy you may have had as a protective service and having crossed the line into being a group of thugs?

Meditate on this for a while:

“If ‘police’ insist on acting like an occupying enemy
army, they should not at all be surprised if the citizenry
play their opposing role in return.”

As for the victims that suffered this, I hope they sue the snot out of your officers and department. Let’s hope that the courts still function as means to obtain justice and restraint, otherwise there is only the sword.

Despite of the police department’s good intentions, they are guilty of an (arguably) worse crime than the bank robber. I’m sure the police department would not hesitate to charge us all with crimes committed regardless of our intent. Police Chief Dan Oates must be accountable for his crime here.

Since the department is unlikely to discipline itself in this matter, I recommend bringing it to the attention of the Mayor and the Aurora City Council: citycouncil@auroragov.org and on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/auroragov

This just in:  

Homeland security knows with certainty that a terrorist is in a home somewhere in the USA.  

They will be detaining all residents of the US, and searching their homes.

Said a spokesman for D.H.S.: “Our thanks to Aurora police Chief Dan Oates, for bringing to our attention the fact that we can legally conduct these kinds of investigative detentions.  We regret the inconvenience that this will cause all Americans, but these dangerous times require it”.

 So it worked, and they caught the guy right? So what’s the problem? Oh that’s right, in modern America, everyone thinks they are special, unique snowflakes and any inconvenience in their life is a huge deal that everyone else should care about.

Inconvenience, like violating the 4th Amendment. If that had happened to me, by the time I got done raking the bastards over in court, I’d own his job.

Wooooo — look at all the constitutional law experts and lawyers commenting.

Most haven’t a clue what the f–k they’re talking about and obtained their ‘knowledge’ and their ideas of law and constitutional rights from Hollywood TeeVee shows — but they won’t let that stop them from firing up that hair trigger cakehole and spouting off despite the fact that none of them were there, no constitutionally protected rights haven been proven violated [and never will be if the whole story is accurate], and that the armed bank robber was, in fact, apprehended and his ill-gotten gains were recovered along with his pistol(s) and disguise used in the commission of the crime. No siree.

Any reason to vociferously hate on the police and spew utter ignorance and corrosive bile is — apparently — reason enough.

Sometimes it also takes a village to assist in the capture and incarceration of violent armed felons, too, you village idiots self-serving nitwits. The police did an outstanding job — even if it was a little bit inconvenient for a miniscule fraction of the village inhabitants.

So much for the Constitution, we mine as well just throw that out because the Lieutenant said it was ok. So it must be ok right? The constitution is the supreme law. All other laws follow, no laws supersede.
You cops were pointing your guns at helpless civilians including young teenagers that you even knew had nothing to do with it, so much for common sense right? You think these kids are going to forget having a shotgun pointed in their face, and being handcuffed is psychologically damaging.
Here is what happened. You cops got over zealous and you did whatever it took to get it done.
Here is the simple truth. Americans are on the verge of another breaking point and the future is going to bring us change. You cops are either a part of the solution or the problem. We will not stand for your Nazi tactics and your officers that walk around and act like Drill instructors, using intimidation and commanding presence to make people comply.
You are suppose to be Peace Officers.

Such actions are completely unjustifiable and
indicative of the massive infringement of rights the general American
populace will face unless YOU GET OFF YOUR TAIL and stop bowing down to
the totalitarian ways of our government. Furthermore
,
if you watch the video taken of the incident, which can be found on
CNN, you will find that even simple detainees, not the actual suspect
were being handled very rough and forcefully by the officers detaining
them. What did they do to deserve this kind of abuse? Sources claim
that the reason they detained all the cars at this particular stop light
was because of a GPS unit hidden among the money that was stolen. This
is very poor police work and could have cost many their lives. What
would have happened if this robbery suspect, who was in fact among the
commuters that were detained was a little desperate and decided to
engage in a shoot out with officers rather than wait in his truck hoping
they would pass him up? I tell you what would have happened; 39
innocent, handcuffed people would have been caught in a catastrophic
cross fire. I wonder what the chiefs response would have been should
that have been the suspects response. So the next time you think you’re
“playing it safe” by just letting police “do their job” think again.
Quite frankly I could care less what a Federal law gives them the
right to do. They are sworn to uphold and protect our constitutional
rights…..they are supposed to be our local government who protects us
from infringement of our rights by the Federal government…not using
Federal government initiatives to justify their bad behavior and poor
policing. They would have most likely been just as effective letting the
robbery suspect “think” he was getting away and using the GPS tracker
to find him at his hide out. NOT put 39 innocent lives in danger by
backing what they call a “dangerous armed suspect” into a corner.
