Does this sound like a SWATting to anyone?
Can the PD really be that incompetent?
Do you feel "protected and served" yet? Because if you don't, I'm certain they will accomodate you...
The Watchman Ping List - FReepmail Old Sarge for details!
Even for a swatting, something semi-plausible needs to be alleged. This sounds like an internal thing, which bypassed the usual screening that a random call from the public would get.
Of course, the felon had already been arrested. So whatever they didn't do in the two weeks from the arrest to serving the warrant is just plain incompetence.
Because weapons were used that very well could have easily maimed, crippled or even killed someone, then whoever is the incompetent person or persons should be fired with prejudice. They do not deserve to have jobs with such a heavy responsibility when they show such gross dysfunction.
Also, I'm sure the wannabe Rambos all cussed and screamed and were generally thinking of themselves as alpha bad-asses. They all should be sent to Afghanistan.
Washington thru Patton used to fine men for cussing. The police need to police their potty mouths. If people are supposed to be “innocent until proven guilty”, they need to show decorum, even in a dynamic arrest.
You let them get away with what is perceived as inconsequential violations of the regulations and pretty soon bigger violations will be perceived as inconsequential, etc., etc. up the spiral we go. Pretty soon they think they're all Judge Dredd.
This was not always the case. At one time the police considered themselves to be one of us. And they considered us to be one of them.
Could be. Or it could be a case of *justify having a SWAT Team* during budget time.
