this is not a safe world... never has been never will be.... if you sit there and believe that officers putting themselves at a tactical disadvantage is going to save lives or stop these people from doing what they are doing you are in denial.
btw nice pic of a FEDERAL office defiantly overreacting during the Clinton admin....
but you believe they should be given fair notice... this is not a safe world... never has been never will be....
I suppose that we could just shoot suspected criminals on sight but some might call that a slippery slope.
Best solution is to enforce our border and fix the liberal courts that let these people roam the streets.
The fact is, I did once participate in a no-knock raid. It was a total joke. Twenty cops, armed to the teeth, all dressed up like ninjas when a 16 year old girl could have taken out the pathetic old meth-head that they were busting. We had code words and everything. I felt like I was 12 years old again. I turned in the fool and lured him out of the house.(he was an employee of mine) He didn't put up a fight as he was too busy peeing his pants.
I remain a bit embarrassed for being a party to such a farce. It was an eyeopening experience. Oh, and no, I did not wear any tactical gear, guns, knives or a Baklava like the SWAT folks during the raid but then, I was the only one in arms reach of the bad man.
