“What sort of ignorant, half assed, Barney Fife numbskulls would base a dynamic entry operation on an anonymous call? Did a judge sign off on this?”
Well, by going to the website pulled of the back of the car in post #2, it looks like the “Barney Fife” is Deputy Cheif Scott Meyers. There’s a picture of him at the sheriff’s website that matches him in the photo in post #2. So he’s the overweight guy leaning over the car sporting the drop leg holster and holding his pistol sideways like a gang member. Obviously he’s just anxious for all the drama since he failed to recognize all the other reasons that the thing was a hoax. To his credit, he didn’t bust down the door, charging in guns a blazing, flash bangs and all. One of these times when that happens they’re be an occupant who reacts reflexively, laying on the floor unloading a 12ga at what he awakes to as a home invasion.
Barney Fife better get hassled to no end over this.
I believe there have already been cases of surprised citizens shooting back. I think there was a story along those lines in the last two weeks. I’m pretty sure there was an incident like that a couple of years ago where a cop was killed and the courts sided with the home owner.
