Thanks, I don't doubt LEO’s are operating under extreme circumstances, but I wonder where the precedent will rear it's head in the future. Perhaps they would have been better off to declare martial law, then even the use of Military assets in an Urban US area would have seemed less like a incursion on the Constitution.

The first place will be in higher federal taxes to pay for all cities to respond in this fashion to an event like this.

Someone tried this in my area- with many armed citizens- he’d never make it out alive. And no one would miss a day of work.

Well said.  If they were to come to my house for something like this, I'd simply tell them that neither muslims nor cops without warrants are allowed into my house.
