This story is plain messed up.

Walked through a guys home?

Repeatedly announced themselves? Sure.

Used unsuspecting man’s property for staging your tactical assault? How riggin Dumb is that?

Only thing right with story is no dogs were harmed.

Do you stock your escape pod to old Forecastle Card scale of provisions:? Among other things, you get 1 oz. of lard and 3/4oz. of green berry coffee per day. You can also get 3oz. of dried fruit on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Back to the article. I saw this on the news this morning and the police were making it out like ‘we have no idea why this man attacked us’

Mostly it’s stocked with Captain Morgan.

As with any officer-involved shooting, there will be a thorough investigation and we will make sure every element is examined.''all involved are fully exonerated.

[DuncanWaring]

Captain Morgan?

It’s good to have skilled, experienced crew.

[Travis McGee]

Got that right.

What chaos.

Why go into a neighborhood full of woman, kids and other innocent concerned citizens, when the suspect in question could have been put under surveillance, stopped and arrested/detained when he left the home in question?

Why are we going to war within neighborhoods full of innocent people?

Your dad is nobody’s fool.

So here’s my most level-headed, unbiased opinion: I’m going to guess the guy moved from the apartment building backyard, through the back building entrance, out the building front entrance. (This is the only thing that makes sense without believing that the cops are complete tyrannical dunderheads)

Only problem this area does not appear to be apartments just closed space houses. Posssibly rental homes but in good condition.

I agree with you.

Absent unusual circumstances, cops should be dressed as cops, not criminals.

Even if they are dressed as cops is no guarantee tho. I think the killers in the famous St. Valentines Day massacre were dressed as cops.

Then there was the guy that shot Barzini in The Godfather.

“A place like Castigo Cay is looking better and better.”

It looked good BEFORE this thread : )

[Magnum44]

G__ damned gestapo tactics again...innocent man gets shotby cops and no one will be held acountable...BS...I am getting sick of hearing these stories about cops shooting people defending their right to defend themselves.

[Ratman83]

I look already, looks like houses. Some have unattached garages. Just small lots.

[Osage Orange]

I'd have to read the article again...but I thought I read that this was an apartment.

Did I misread that?

[SVTCobra03]

A place like Castigo Cay is looking better and better.

It's located right next to Galt's Gulch. One of these days, those morons are going to mess with a combat veteran, highly skilled in close quarters combat.

Er, more war on murderers, not everything is about drugs

Not in this case. It wasn't even murder, but "attempted murder" in regards to the suspect, not the law abiding citizen they nearly shot to death.

BTW, if ya eliminated this moronic, costly WOD, you'd have hundreds of thousands of cops with little to do.
