Nice to know we now live in a country where a simple phone call can trigger a full blown SWAT response from 16 different police departments.

Did they shoot his dog?
How much damage did they do to his house? Who’s gonna pay for the repairs and all that overtime???

The story reminds me of a “Far Side” cartoon where a man is sitting in a bar watching the news on TV and his friend says, “Hey, isn’t that your dog biting the President?”

Its a good thing, he wasn’t home pondering suicide. They would have busted in and killed him, and any family pets.

It's time for the city to start charging the police union pension funds for ostentatious mistakes such as this.
Hit them in the pocketbooks and maybe, just maybe they'll check the owner of the home like cops used to before the damned Patriot Act.
What the h*ll is so patriotic about suspending constitutional liberties?

well-being check
Sounds like some kind of prison rules.

Cops wish they could charge the public with being stupid, I’ve heard it called OHBWS (Occupying a Human Body While Stupid).
To that I say fine, as long as we can bring charges against them for the same thing.

Lucky he was not at home, did the cops kill his dog in the raid?

If police are getting federal or state money for SWAT programs, they’re going to find all sorts of reasons to use SWAT teams.

He’s going to overdose on something illegal! Kick the door in and shoot him!

Let me guess, they had no warrant for this “well being check”. Sounds like another loophole to get around the constitution, just like the “your papers please” fishing expeditions thinly disguised as DUI or road safety checkpoints. But I'm sure the sheeple don't mind, that heavily armed swat team breaking in your door is just there to check on your “well being” after all...
