Sorry, no bitching allowed in a police state.
Whatever happened to just serving a warrant without a quasi military assault?

Did you see the video? The soldier home from Iraq didn’t have a very high opinion of the cops.
A friend of mine just flew into a little, nowhere airport in northern North Dakota. The TSA guy (yes, one TSA guy for the whole airport) was obviously starving for some action, and took himself way too seriously. The story I heard could have been a Monty Python skit.

After Waco and "rescuing" Elian Gonzales, it became less sexy. Heck, I've read stories about police forces getting tons of extra money to buy SWAT style gear from the Department of Homeland Security. And as the old saying goes, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

CS gas is really a fine powder that is air born by the heat of the burning smoke. Th stuff settles into everything, and just does not want to come out.
Those kids toys are now just toxic trash.

Estimated population in July 2006: 4,772
Little pissy town of less than 5,000 residents and they have a friggin' SWAT. Appears to me the taxpayers of this town are getting screwed royally. Time to fire one Chief of Police and reduce LEO personnel by 75%.
To: ovrtaxt
Mr. Polizei Chief doesn’t know it yet, but that looks like about 30,000 to 50,000 dollars in clean up.
Get out your budget dude, t’is time for a redo.

Does Lawrenceburg still smell like brewing whiskey from the Seagram’s plant?
To: fproy2222
As someone who has cleaned up tear-gassed structures, I can tell you they didn’t use very much, or the reporter and tenant wouldn’t have been walking around in there without a respirator.
While working on a job of this type in a 7/11 type store, my brother needed a better look at something and briefly raised his respirator. A few seconds later he was rolling around on the parking lot vomiting uncontrollably. Where’s a video camera when you need one?

Was the guy's name Officer Tackleberry?

I was going to make a smart-a$$ed comment and say at least they didn’t shoot the dog.
Then I read the whole article and apparently they did succeed in killing the guinea pig.

How many people lived in the little burg where the snot noised swat kid killed his former girl friend and her friends. This crap is way out of control. Should be restricted to major cities if at all.

LOL. I was going to say I bet they are upset they didn’t shoot the dog.
