[QUOTE="donner, post: 2692089, member: 277"] I don't really see this as a 'pro' or 'anti' cop issue, though. In fact, i would think that the police would be the first in line to take issue with how they are being used. These types of tactics are being used more and more (and one could argue they are used to justify the military gear departments are acquiring) instead of older methods of, say, arresting someone in daylight as they leave their house. I'm not an expert (and wont pretend to be one), but it seems like there are too many things that can go wrong to be relying on unsubstantiated information. I don't blame the cops for shooting the guy. As was stated, they deserve to make it home at the end of the day. But, as with other cases, if the cops make a mistake, why isn't the home-owner justified in defending him or her self? Again, it's not a cop vs anti issue. It's a 'should this be how we operate' issue. [/QUOTE]
