FYI,
THIS is worth reading
Nicely summarizes the botched raid by an out of control SWAT-type team made up of officers from several small CT towns against a suspect who was presumed to be armed and dangerous. Result, dead suspect and no weapons in the house other than those the cops brought in with them.
THE RAID
At about 2 p.m. members of the team, including the nine stack members, dressed in body armor and wearing helmets, left the Easton EMS offices about two and a half miles from Dogwood Drive. Chief Solomon and the team leaders drove off in sports utility vehicles while the rest of the officers boarded their large armored transport. Instead of climbing inside, several of the men chose to stand on the transport's running boards.
The team headed up Sports Hill Road, men in helmets and armor hanging off the tank-like vehicle. As they rolled into the quiet neighborhood residents either ran into their homes in terror or let curiosity get the better of them, according to police reports. One woman followed the two snipers as they got off the transport and moved into the woods near Terebesi's house.
