“Homeland Security Investigations”
Is that famous Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn quote appropriate here?

It’s like those commercials...
When you get a federal anti-terrorism grant, you get a SWAT Squad.
When you get a SWAT Squad, you want to use your SWAT Squad.
When you want to use your SWAT Squad, you make pre-dawn raids for routine arrests.
When you make pre-dawn raids for routine arrests, you terrorize innocent families and kill their dogs.
Don’t terrorize innocent families and kill their dogs.
Big difference between the Robert Lasso shooting and the story above. Lasso, if the story was reported correctly, was attempting to stop two dogs from attacking him as he responded to a domestic disturbance. Clearly he was within his rights to protect himself. I would have little mercy on the individual who shot him.
The story above was a clear example of “Cops Gone Wild.” An all out assault complete with flash bangs and guns ablaze. Totally unnecessary as he could have been arrested the week before when he was in court. Shades of Waco; total irresponsibility by law enforcement.
