Open firing on police , resisting arrest in a standoff...with other people in arms way. Well yes, whatever it takes to secure the situation.
this was an ‘armed standoff barricaded’ with other people... ..both in and outside the home. Any time a child is involved the police will do whatever it takes.
I have no problem with how this was handled.
From my experience, it will do about as much good.
It was Thursday when the cops decided to blow the house apart.
Why should you? It was not your home that was destroyed. I noticed that you have a high tolerance for other’s pain.
You’re a Libertarian?
On every thread where I defend the actions of the police (about 50%) some drooling idiot calls me a badgelicker.

Well then, you obviously are a badgelicking cop basher, lol.
Has nothing to do with other peoples pain....nor anyones ome.....it has to do with behavior and decisions people make that put themselves in situations.
That’s more like it!
It’s time that ad-hominem achieved a more broad based equity in application.
Reread it sir...

The child came out during the standoff.
“Seacat was taken into custody “Thursday morning”.

Terrific observation. I recall an old adage that if half the people love you, and half the people hate you, you're probably doing a good job.
A lot of FReepers who just downright hate the cops are like people I know in "real life." Usually they got busted as kids or young adults for pot or DUI, and carry that with them on into adulthood and beyond. Like John Kerry, that's been seared into their brain all those years ago. Trying to convince them that their transgressions, whatever they were, that required police intervention, were probably just a wee little bit their fault is pretty much fruitless.
Similarly, those who argue the cops can do no wrong are pretty much stuck on Dragnet reruns on MeTv.
My whole point on this thread is that it's undeniable that the Obama Administration, with their Goebbels-like media, is using isolated incidents to promote the need for some sort of federal brownshirts to keep all those local police forces in line. And that way lies ... well, we don't want to think about that.
Local cops have a tough job. Sometimes they're corrupt. Sometimes they make mistakes. I will take them over a federal force engineered to make sure we all follow the politically-correct line. And do not tell me that isn't what the storm-trooping Administration now watching its days winding down has in mind.
Sorry, but they have definitely earned the skepticism.
Weird? Are you serious? You know the Justice Department already sent in its people to make sure the Ferguson Police Department plays nice after the “Gentle Giant” incident, don’t you?
Eventually, he ran into Lech's house on South Alton Street in Greenwood Village, where the 9-year-old boy was inside. Police dispatchers and the child's mother, who is engaged to Lech's son, talked the child out of the house.19 hours later!The boy was unhurt, but the standoff was just beginning.
Seacat wasn't taken into custody until Thursday morning.
No, that's not what I'll tell you. I'll tell you that it has been apparent for several decades that the police have increased dynamic entries for trivial arrest situations and decreased actual investigative work that would make for easier arrests and fewer mistaken identity situations.
That precedes the 0bama admin. by a long stretch and has been well recognized on FR for as long as I've been here.
I know that your conspiracy reveals that your previous posts were not honest, they were propaganda, trying to influence people because you are looking at this thread article only as it relates to your greater conspiracy.
In your conspiracy, you have to stop people from thinking that this was a cop caused disaster, not because it wasn’t, but because you must have us all thinking a certain way and approving all local cops and everything that they do, or else your conspiracy fears will come true.
You aren’t really responding on this thread, to this police act, you are propagandizing to manipulate people.
Mine was there were other people in danger...and there were...inside and outside the home. ....the criminal had a firearm and had opened fire on the police. That is an extremely volatile situation more than sufficient danger to warrant whatever was needed to secure the situation.
I wasn’t there. IMO if the city damages private property they should repair it.
SWAT teams seem to have an unfortunate tendency to overuse their new toys.
But in such a situation I think damage to property should take a seat a long way behind preventing people getting injured or killed.
