You said "That is when you will come crawling to the police begging for their assistance every time."
Get over your self 70% of police work is traffic and taking reports after a crime has occurred. How do I know this? After recovering from my injuries I was a deputy sheriff. I can not speak for your department or region but 98% of the guys I worked with were professional and polite and would not put up with your attitude. Oh and for everyone Else's benefit since you did not have time to answer my question (but you did have time to accuse me of being a fraud) ARTICLE VI
I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

First let me apologize to you for the "fraud" accusation, I was responding to SAMAJ and not you. With that said, what are you characterizing my attitude as? I feel I have stated clearly the position my oath of office pledges. In this case the perp was know to be a drug dealer,(the extent of which is unknown), he was known to posses a gun and he had sold drugs to undercover officers. The SOP is to execute a search warrant in a manner which posses the least risk to the public and the officers tasked with carrying it out. The fact that this suspect went for a gun reinforces the SOP. His actions showed that he was unpredictable, (as all human beings are), so the tactic was "spot on". Unless any additional evidence is presented which contradicts these facts, the actions are warranted, (but the death unfortunate).
I am well aware of UCMJ Article VI. Just so you understand, I served six years with honor(1978-1984). Once again I apologize for the misunderstanding last night but SAMAJ claimed to be someone he was not and it got my Ire up!
