One of these days some idiot SWAT team is going to hit the wrong address and run into someone who knows what he’s doing and all of them are going to end up dead.
When that happens I’m going to stand up and cheer.
SWAT Teams need to have some IED awareness training.
Here is a story that outlines exactly what you are commenting on. Thankfully, the soldier did not want to harm anyone, as this trained soldier with considerable combat experience harmed no one. He is now in jail with over a dozen counts of attempted murder against him, no treatment for PTSD and the Army wants to dishonorably discharge him. All this because a fireman tried to smash down his door in the middle of the night and the soldier awoke thinking he was back in Afghanistan fighting insurgents and barricaded the door.
About three weeks ago, the same police officer that shot Joshua Eisenhauer shot and killed another Staff Sgt in the Warrior Transition Battalion at Ft Bragg.

Once your door is smashed in and a flash bang goes off - its over for you that night. No matter how many you may “get”.
Its going to end badly. Call somebody, put your phone in your pocket (microphone up)and put your hands up with your back to the leos and scream “Help me!” repeatedly. Trust me. ;-)
Good luck with that resistance thing unless you have a tank too?
Me too. Raiding the wrong person’s house under color of law is illegal. No protection under immunity for these badged thugs.
