“If you’re performing a raid that involves forcibly entering a property, you must be 100% sure that what you are looking for is inside and that no innocent people will be harmed in the process. Not 99.99999%, but 100%. Its called investigation, surveillance and police work.”
No it isn’t, that there is called fantasy.
It's better for a criminal get away because of constitutional protections than the country descend into a police state.
99% of these raids are unnecessary anyway. They should only be used when a person inside is in known and immediate danger or if a suspect is barricaded inside during hot peruit. Anything else can be handled with real police work. There was a time when most towns didn't even have a SWAT team and big cities only used them a handful of times per year.
* In the black/dark/gallows humor vein.
No it's not. Safety of innocents should always be top priority.
Ya see 99.9% of these reckless dangerous military style raids are not over violent hostage situations where people could die any second. Nope. Not even close.
They are usually done to search for drugs, medications etc. In fact, if it were not for the government sponsored illegal drug industry, likely 75 percent of these raids would never occur. Ya take that away and you could let go half the government police.
They told ya there was a war on drugs, so they could play war and control others. And believe me, they have created a massive industry around this and why the courts have more cash registers that the local walmarts, with warehouses full of seized stuff. Big industry.
All this and yet drugs can be found anywhere....lol...Talk about job security!
As if they and the corrupt politicians wanted this profitable industry stopped.
Swat style raids should only be used in violent hostage situations and where *extremely* violent people are directly involved. The WOD is basically an excuse for government to grow, control, fine, and seize assets.
Even those drooling in cups figured this out.
