Your comments on this thread clearly demonstrate the serious problem that we have in this country. I’m sure that you truly believe that the actions depicted in the video are perfectly legal and perfectly acceptable. If they have been ruled legal in a court of law, we really do have a serious problem. If they have just been assumed to be legal by an overzealous law enforcement community, that is still a problem, just less serious.
What you are saying is that law enforcement may determine on its own that a situation permits them to bypass the constitutional constraints on government and behave like a police state by storming people’s private residences, manhandling innocent civilians while brandishing weapons in their faces with the sole rationale that a dangerous criminal is on the loose. Dangerous criminals being pretty ubiquitous in large cities, it seems to me that this behavior could become quite commonplace.
If I had directed operations like this in a combat zone, I would have likely been court martialed. I note from history that the greatest atrocities committed by the Germans on the Eastern Front came not from the front line combat troops, but from the rear echelon SS special troops who could play out their little Nazi fantasies on an unarmed civilian population. Is this where we are headed?
Law enforcement officers have to weigh these things out every single day out in the real world, where real people's lives are on the line, including their own.
