This is an interesting story, because it raises an interesting question that some people involved with law enforcement might be able to answer - if you are going to raid a house, or a building, but it's not exactly clear which is the right building to raid, what is the usual procedure?

Another decisive victory in the war on drugs.You might be wondering how this could be a victoy trust me it is.They will now go to the fed and state governments and say look how bad this was we are obviosly understaffed and undertrained we need many more troops and a whole hell of a lot more money so we can be a crack team and they will get all of thee above in no time.

Militarized police forces have become the "standing army" our founders feared.

...were injured as TACT team members secured the house...

"secured the house", (verb, past tense) to administer gun stocks to the ribs, boots to the backs of necks, and make certain that you get the most out of the taxpayer funds spent on military style weapons, flak vests, really cool looking black camo pants, and the several viewings of "Rambo, First Blood" at the squad house.

"...Beshears said the woman received a dislocated shoulder and the man received bruised ribs.

Hummmm...sounds like one of these was applied:

Another example of the macho-cop, adrenaline-pumping, tough-guy mentality to infects virtually every officer in every small town police force in the nation. I live in the South and here, it comes with the breeding--macho is a job requirement. We have to recognize that these people are the less-than intellectual high-school dropouts, GED, or bottom of the class winners that couldn't get into college, enlisted in the Army, served their tour as MPs and for lack of any other training went to the police academy. Their only claim to pride and power in their lives is putting on their uniforms and having other people look at them and fear them. Sounds a lot like politicians now that I think about it.

You just arbitrarily pick one. You absolutely cannot let all that preparation go to waste. Your guys have been keyed up with expections and have to be given some bodies to bash. Otherwise they will experience psychological letdowns and depression.Their union will not like that.
