This is a murder on video. Does everybody understand?

I know numerous SWAT team members. None of them would have done a breach like that. None of them, especially the FBI guys I know would have shot that fellow. The guys in the video have been badly trained and apparently do not have the psych profile to be on SWAT. The whole idea of SWAT is to avoid killing anybody. They are not ninja assassins.

I'd bet that the team on the video has all sorts of toys, including bean bag rounds. The man should not have been killed. Or even hurt.

If your .223 caliber weapon is not fully automatic, it is in no way an "Assault" weapon. It is inadequate for an assault against a prepared fortification. Neither lawyers, legislators, nor LEO are entitled to twist and redefine military terminology.

To bring home this point, I have taken to referring to every document signed by a judge as "An Execution Order". I am no more out of line than they are. When the subject comes up (as it will helping out at a rescue mission on Tuesdays) I explain my reasoning and stick by it.

That is great advice, on the level of the individual, for living one’s life. But it’s a non-sequitur in regard to Constitutional principles and what we feel is appropriate behavior from government authorities.

Well put. I completely agree.

>They are not ninja assassins.

Well, yes, breaking down the door goes against the ‘stealth’ mindset that a ninja has.
...but an argument may be made that these are assassins.

By settled law, police are not there to protect or serve the public.

I really don’t see the function of most police in surburbuan or rural areas anymore but to write speeding and parking tickets and ake reports after someone is already assaulted raped or killed.
