“In any case there was not a reasonable amount of time for a person to open the door. “

yep. that is exactly what i said, in my #43... and much more!
“Supposedly they expected no one would be at home. What about the car in the driveway-should that have been a clue? ///
supposedly, they did think he was at home. but NOT his wife and children. the wife saw a man with a gun through the window. the SWAT guy clearly saw her.
(yet they continued the assault, and emptied their magazines, KNOWING a woman and a child were inside?!?)
She woke her husband who had just gone to sleep after a 12 hour shift, and told him about the man outside with a gun.
KNOWING her relative was killed a year ago, about a mile away, in a home invasion, he put her and his son in a closet, and got his PISTOL.
(”small gun” according to her statement. her statements says she NEVER saw the “big gun”, the rifle, until a SWAT guy placed it next to her husband. ...and yes, initially her statement says “AK47”. but it was an AR15 that was planted. clearly she didn’t know about guns, and the AK47 was referring to the PISTOL. her later statements about “big” and “small” guns make this clear.)

Criminal Negligence on part of the Serving team IMHO.

more than negligence. i would vote for murder on a jury.
and to copwife: “I always find it interesting that Freepers hate cops in general.” i have found NO FReepers who hate good honest cops. most are supportive. and in case you think i’m a hater, my Dad served honorably with the Mesa Police Department, and he would have been one of the FIRST to condemn these Dupnik led murderers !
