WSB-TV says that "Deputies said they bought drugs from the house, and came back with a no-knock warrant to arrest a man known to have drugs and weapons". The cops also said that they had not seen any indication that there were children in the house.

Yet the parents say there were kids car seats clearly visible in the van out front. Yet the man they were looking for was not at the house, and one would think they would have somebody watching the house while waiting for the warrant, to see if anybody arrived or left.

My personal suspicion: the cops did not actually do the preliminaries they said they did in order to get the no-knock warrant. In which case the cops should be criminally charged.

What disturbs me the most with all these stories is they go back to LEO not doing due diligence, plain old fashioned investigation- even cursory before launching all out SWAT assaults. No due diligence is the reason they attack the wrong house, wrong people, go after people that have not been at that address for some time- on an on. Epic fail, and it is not being addressed so it keeps happening.

I think LEO having military type units is bogus, it is obvious they have given up the old fashioned investigation, police work in favor of “shoot first and ask questions” later style. They are not willing or able to get proper training and use their SWAT units only when necessary and after investigation so they do not need and should not have them.
