Oooh, I have an idea! How about we get rid of small town SWAT teams and stop doing dynamic entries. Arrest ppl when they are out in town and when they can be clearly identified.
Common sense never got the jackboots bigger budgets, shooting pets and roughing old people works great though.
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.
Anybody ever wonder why it took a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol, yet there is a 'war on drugs' without one? It's an unconstitutional war.
Cops beating up old people and shooting people 'by mistake' all because they have been *trained* to think that everyone is out to kill them. Truth be known, the 'police force' is largely a bunch of wannabe tough-guys who only get brave when the power of the state is behind them.
Legalize drugs, let the druggies kill themselves w/ cheap dope and leave everybody else alone! Zoned-out druggies are a lot less dangerous that militarized cops who think everybody else is the enemy.
