Justify salary with drug raid on hardy or harding street; hard to decide which one. Wearing street clothes, no body cam (super-secret tier one operators must protect their secret identities). Bust open door and immediately kill barking dog. When family objects to invasion shoot them, handcuff and let them bleed out on the floor of their own home.
There in lies the problem. I was an LEO for 25 years and you never use undercover officers to make an arrest. Its just to dangerous as the targets often mistake the undercover officers as a rip team and open fire.
In a typical buy bust the undercover officer makes the purchase and leaves then you send in the uniforms to make the arrest.
In this case they were serving a warrant and had all the time in the world to formulate a safe operation.
This was unprofessional and inexcusable and could have been avoided.
