Barry’s “civilian army” has been screwing up a lot lately. They’ve been murdering a lot of innocent “seniors” coming out of bed in their pajamas in the middle of the night to see what the hell is going on in THEIR house. I guess it gives the ObamaCare Death Panel “navigators” one less case to have to deal with.
Good for them, we don’t often see common sense prevailing in the post-9/11 facism.
This needs to happen at state level around the US. Basically, that for the rare occasions that paramilitarism is needed, it should be conducted by county Sheriffs, under strict guidelines, not police departments.
The state law would first mandate what equipment police departments could use, and who they could obtain that equipment from. The feds have been larding up police departments with all sorts of surplus military gear, which they do not need and should not have.
So if they already have equipment not on the list, it must be turned over to the Sheriff. Any SWAT activities must be carried out by the Sheriff’s office, for situations that require SWAT, only.
Next, the states need to reform the state police academy training, to train officers away from SWAT tactics, to more of a role of peacekeeper, not paramilitary.
is the cop being charged with involuntary manslaughter? (I know the answer by looking into my crystal ball)
This raid sounds like an appropriate force for an assault on the hideout of Scarface.
I understand the principle of overwhelming force saving lives, but suspect the cops are going overboard.
This story is almost as sad as that of the little girl a couple of years ago killed because the cops were trying to stage a spectacular raid for “reality TV.” Too real for her.
What is left out of these stories is that with this many excited heavily armed men running around, a certain amount of “collateral damage” is inevitable. In military operations quite a number of guys die from “friendly fire,” much less the number of civilians “accidentally” killed.
Sometimes it seems like the Rules of Engagement are more strict in Afghanistan than America.

Disbanded SWAT team ?
Doggies are way safer now...
the first SWAT team in the area was in Elmira, and on their first outing, they had a blue on blue killing... but they didn't let a little thing like that stop themSWAT teams are severe overkill in most cases, and they make a lot of mistakes, like getting the wrong addresses. Sheriff’s departments have them. State police have them, as do some of the city police, and there are ATF, FBI, and federal marshals, the EPA, the IRS and others. Sometimes they all get together to throw a house crashing party, cuff some half naked people on the floor, burn down communes, and shoot babies, old people and dogs. And cops wonder why conservative who normally support the police who do their jobs with honor and decency are getting a little Pi$$ed off about abuse of power and thuggish brutality.
Repeat as necessary.
Good. Repeat as necessary.
“I trained for a whole 40 hours, I’m whatchacallit, an expert, dawg.... now...oops! my bad.”
lol
“if Davis left the department, there would be no one with the training, skills and responsibility required to supervise the unit.”
It amazes me that they can say this with a straight face.
Who was supervising the night Ernie Stumps got it.
Who was supervising during the time that the unit was (per the investigation) too big and not trained enough?
Here we go again.....in this day and age, individual officers are trained in SWAT tactics because in an active shooter situation...patrol officers CANT wait for the time it takes to call out, brief and insert a SWAT team. Hence the issuance of rifles to patrol officers. And what pray tell, is the reason for keeping SWAT relegated to the Sheriff office? SWAT has its uses and purpose...when properly trained and employed...
boys with matches = formerly beat up boys with MACHINE GUNS and a badge.
Both are very bad ideas and we need to see much, much more of this.
These are bored action junkies who need to work out their problems in some OTHER, less expensive way.
Besides, if they get in a bind they can always request the Dept. of Education, EPA, National Park Service, Social Security, Dept. of Agriculture, etc. SWAT team for support. They will be there kicking down doors, rousting old women and men, shooting dogs, etc. before you can get a no knock search warrant in their hands .... of course it might not be the right address but they will be as efficient as hell.
If you support the war on drugs, then you support these raids.
