I have said it here before... our family’s house was raided by the King County Swat Team. They were just getting ready to knock down the front door when my wife who was recovering from foot surgery managed to get it open. She had multiple guns pointed at her and was held up against the wall while a dozen or so guys dressed in full swat gear ran around the house making a mess.

We never got a reasonable sounding excuse or any type of apology. It was a screw up just like this one. If I had been home and armed with one of many of the firearms that we own this same fate could easily have happened to me. I worked for a local fire department for 25 years, and haven’t got even a speeding ticket on my record. Many of these swat teams are made up largely of guys and gals who are wannabe combat veterans who never actually served in the military.

The price you - or David Hooks - paid is a small one to combat the ingestion of disapproved substances. /s
