Did you even read the article? No one needed to be forced other house with teargas. All they had to do was show the search warrant and the people would've opened up. Instead the cops burst down the damn door. I can't believe you on here seriously defending these cops. How is barging in someone's house unannounced safe? Especially since this was not a no knock warrant. Oh sorry they knocked on the door the same time the busted down the damn door.
I wasn't there and neither were you. That's my point. You, me and certainly the reporter don't even begin to know the circumstances of what happened. How do you know they would have just opened the door? That's a pretty bold assumption. Since you're all knowing will please tell me when, where and who will shoot at me the next time I go to work? That would be awesome and much appreciated!
Since I wasn't there and don't know, I'm not making judgement...not without facts.
My points were made based on the comments being made in general by other members of the forum (I.e. comments about police not needing APC, tear gas, etc) not about the one article.
I know, I know. You didn't ask you be "monitored." Neither do the criminals. Funny. I pull a guy over for going 20 over and he cusses me out and threatens to "have your job" and tells me how he pays my salary etc etc. The next day he calls because his car got broken into and he wants me to find his property and get it back RIGHT NOW!
