Anyone wanna bet that the SC sides with the LEO's on this?
Stupidest post that I ever read here.
LEO's are regular people, fathers, mothers, etc. The truth is that a very small percentage of LEO's today are former military.
SWAT is usually a volunteer group of motivated officers with extra training.
Idiots who bash all cops as trigger-happy, gung-ho, power-trippers obviously do not really know any cops.
Join a ride-along program, many police departments have them.
You have that right - Not down to a man, but on the majority I agree with you -
SWAT units / tactics / budgets are out of hand across the Country.
The SC has no choice but to side with Law Enforcement on this. If they do side with the defendant, it would cause a Tsunami...
