Yeah, I have to echo Maddskillz sentiments. You don't barge into someone's house on a drug raid with guns blazing. DRUG RAID, HELLO?! They let murderers and rapists barricade themselves in their houses for days to avoid casulties. I've seen it first hand here in OKC.

If they suspected him of wrong doing, why not arrest him on his way to the store? Or wait till the next day and snag him on his way to work? Sounds like a fat lawsuit and some serious drudgereport.com fodder.

So I guess it was entirely impossible to do a little investigating, find out what he drives, where he works, the hours he works and arrest him that way (if they had sufficient evidence to do so). Instead they felt the only option was to put him, them and his innocent family at risk?

Okay.

I agree. I am not bashing cops by any means, and I am glad they are out there. I remember David Koresh. He jogged everyday and people all knew his routine, but the Gov thought it would be better to take him out in a house filled with women and kids. Maybe I just don't get it.

"Hey *insert politician", how can we search people's homes anytime we want?"
"Say that we're looking for narcotics and that it's for their 'safety'."
"But what if they still resist?"
"Then they are obviously terrorist/drug dealers!"

I don't know about anything else but THIS information about how long emergency rescue workers were made to wait for 1hr14min STINKS! I just don't get how that could justifiably happen?

KGUN9 News requested the emergency call records for Drexel Heights Fire Rescue. The 911 call center notified Drexel Heights at 9:43 a.m. A unit arrived just two minutes later at 9:45. However, deputies told rescue workers to stay put. That's standard to be sure they won't walk into a dangerous situation. But paramedics waited until 10:59 a.m. Then they heard the radio call "Code 900", which meant they were no longer needed because the person was dead.

After one hour and 14 minutes, Drexel Heights indicated they were never allowed to even examine Jose .

In comparison, on the day of the January 8th mass shooting, deputies held back ambulance and fire crews there for only 12 minutes before they determined it was safe for emergency medical crews to enter the chaotic scene.

His status as a veteran and survivor of tours in Iraq is completely irrelevent to the case at hand. There are plenty of scumbags out there with DD214s....

Not saying he was into something dirty, but using his veteran status is an emotional appeal when what is really needed is facts and truth.

I agree 100%......well said
