Then knee jerkers like you scream when some guy runs when you try and arrest him in town and either causes a high speed pusuit ( much more dangerous and unpredictable by ststistic and fact ) or takes hostages when he gets home or runs into your house or business.
Yeah, good answer, not.
Likek I said 1 raid out of all the hundreds that go perfectly and you guys are ready to throw the baby out with the bath water. You would make a good bureaucratic police commissioner who wants to please every one.
99% of raids go off like a charm because the act is performed covertly and quickly to maintain control of the scene.
I've never screamed about mopes who ran. That isn't the police's fault. Not exercising judgement and throwing granny to the ground is the officer's fault. I wonder he put a boot to granny's head.
Sorry, dude. I'm not buying it. There's no need for the ninja gear. There's no need for masks in small towns and there's no need (not even a tactical one) for kevlar helmets. Too many of your brethren (and I know quite a few) are rambo-wannabes in search of an enemy. Police forces need to be SURE of an address before they try to make an arrest and dynamic-entries should be of the last resort.
I'm military too and I keep a gun by my bed. If the police burst into my apartment in the middle of the night screaming, I'd probably be dead because I'd be reaching for my weapon.
