Old Trooper sends us this article<\/a> which clears up the mystery that we discussed several months ago in regards to the Department of Education need for newer shotguns;<\/p>\n

Wright came downstairs in his boxer shorts as a S.W.A.T team barged through his front door. Wright said an officer grabbed him by the neck and led him outside on his front lawn.<\/p>\n

“He had his knee on my back and I had no idea why they were there,” Wright said.<\/p>\n

According to Wright, officers also woke his three young children ages 3, 7, and 11 and put them in a Stockton police patrol car with him. Officers then searched his house.<\/p>\n

As it turned out, the person law enforcement was looking for was not there – Wright’s estranged wife.<\/p>\n

“They put me in handcuffs in that hot patrol car for six hours, traumatizing my kids,” Wright said.<\/p>\n

Wright said he later went to the mayor and Stockton Police Department, but the City of Stockton had nothing to do with Wright’s search warrant.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Education issued the search and called in the S.W.A.T for his wife’s defaulted student loans. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That the Education Department has a SWAT Team is scary enough, but to think they’d use that SWAT Team to collect on a student loan is right out of some frightening futuristic novel. <\/p>\n

Nice intel gathering, by the way. <\/p>\n

Maybe they could have knocked politely and asked the man if his ex-wife was there or set up surveillance on the house to catch her when she came outside. or are they just justifying the purchase of new scatter-guns and the expenditures for a useless SWAT Team.<\/p>\n

It seems to me that the locals should have asked the feds for some sort of evidence that the lady in question was present in the target house instead of just riding along for the adventure of it all.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: <\/strong>OK, so the original article was yanked, so I put a link to the cache copy. Apparently it wasn’t because of a student loan<\/a>…or something;<\/p>\n

Education Department Press Secretary Justin Hamilton said in a statement to The Lookout that the department “does not execute search warrants for late loan payments.” He said the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) “conducts about 30-35 search warrants a year on issues such as bribery, fraud, and embezzlement of federal student aid funds.” Hamilton said the department cannot comment on this particular case until the investigation is over, but did add that the claim the warrant was executed for late loan payment is untrue. The raid was related to a criminal investigation of Wright’s wife.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ya know it really doesn’t matter why…what matters is that the freaking Department of Education is executing search warrants with their own SWAT team to the wrong people. Busting down doors, dragging people out into their lawns, cuffing them and stuff them in the back of cop cars with their grade school-aged kids. The wrong people.<\/p>\n

The Department of Education has one function – making loans and grants to students and states. WTF are they doing with a SWAT Team?<\/strong> They can explain the reason a hundred thousand different ways and it makes no difference to me.<\/p>\n

And what doofus, Barney Fife MFer spends his whole life training to be on the Education Department’s SWAT Team? For f**k’s sake.<\/p>\n

I’m waiting for the Census Bureau SWAT to raid my house because I chased off the census taker last year when she told me that the federal government needed to know who lived in my house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
