This is laid at the door of the USSC. They need to rule these raids unconstitutional (and they have not to this point they have protected them) unless someones life is in danger. No other reason to raid a home. I do not care if a drug dealer get away. They can arrest these people at another time. I do not want anymore WACO’S. This really makes me angry and fearful. It happen way to often.
“(Nothing gets a cat out of a tree like a $5,000 SWAT sniper rifle.)”
ROTFLMAO!!!
“MY kitty is in the twee!”
“Stand back, ma’am, we’ll get it.”
The middle of the night confusion is one of the reasons warrants are served then. They hope the person being sought will be half asleep and cooperative.
In the middle of the night in the dark, with the recent rash of home invasions, I might close the door and shoot through it rather than wait to see who it is at the risk of my life.
“Police are always going to be following orders from higher up,”
Sure, until you start taking their homes, cars, retirement savings and anything else of value they have and dumping them and their families in the street. That happens once or twice and all this crap will cease.
I just saw the home owner (shooter, victim) on the local news, making a statement. In English. Pretty good English, at that. Now, I’m not saying that because he speaks English that he should have known what was going on. He reacted the same way I probably would. But, in situations like this, the local victim advocates are always rushing to tell the media that so-and-so doesn’t speak English and the system is screwed up and it’s my fault and we need to raise taxes so that everybody gets training in all of the foreign languages that are spoken in the Twin Cities.
Rant over.
Squantos, it would not surprise me if tThe Girl Guides had a SWAT, or for that matter The Knights of Columbus. As far as NOAA goes, someone has to stand up against atmospheric crimes!
LOL........Hot Air is a crime for the Global Warming crowd !

That part is missing from updated account:
Two policemen were saved by bulletproof vests and helmets, and Mr. Khang, Ms. Moua and their children, possessing no body armor, happened to be curled in the right places to avoid the return gunfire.
