I have mentioned this on FR before: If police (or firefighters) need to break into a house, they should be required to turn on their vehicle sirens and roof lights the instant they entire.
Let those inside know just who's outside.
Aren't a fire truck's lights and siren on the entire route to the house?
Good suggestion,but some wackos would still do stupid things. The advantage is you wake the whole neighborhood,and you have lots of witnesses,and maybe people that could reason with the guy.
That last word in my post #1 should be “enter”, not “entire”. If this keeps up, I’m going to sue whoever invented spellcheck.

I’ve had a diabetic episode some 14 years ago and, based on my experience, this guy might be innocent of any intent. I know diabetics need to be careful of low blood sugar and recognize symptoms. However, I have never had any recall of what I did and said. Apparently I started screaming at my desk and then ran down the hallway until I got confused and couldn’t unlock the door. Fortunately the people working with me knew I was an insulin dependent diabetic and took proper measured.

This was a case of them thinking it was a medical emergency only. They had no thought that the guy might be dangerous.
His brother was with the firefighters and he got shot also.
Since, they have changed their operational response to these type of calls.
