Police say as many as five masked men wearing FBI baseball caps invaded a home in the Annandale section of Fairfax County on Thursday.
Fairfax County Police say the masked men were all wearing police style tactical gear when they entered the home around 12:15 p.m. They tied up a woman and her son who was home with a toddler, and then searched the house.
The men then took off in a gold or beige Cadillac Escalade.
It's unclear what the men wanted and police wouldn't say what they took. The man and woman who were tied up inside the house received treatment at the scene from paramedics. The man, who was beaten, was later hospitalized. The toddler was uninjured.

Bizarre!
So... If the LRO’s come knocking and announce themselves at the door, should we hold our fire?
Not a good situation and if this happens enough times some cop might get killed because some homeowner thinks he isn’t a real cop.
LRO’s = LEO’s
obamas men?
Head’s up.

“if this happens enough”
It already happens a lot. And come to think of it, if I were a crook doing home, invasions that would be my M.O..
And that's why no-knock raids should be extremely rare. If there isn't a knock on the door with warrant (or at least ID) presentation, one should be able to assume the worst. It's best for the citizens and it's best for the police.
This happens several times a year. Shoot anyone entering your home without a warrant!
Then, that's what he or she will deserve for showing up in warrior gear and beating down the door with a dozen friends.
Real cops should wear the Barney Fife uniform, drive marked cars and knock politely.
Thank you for the ping, Jet Jaguar.
I do appreciate it.
The Escalade could be the giveaway. Most FBI guys drive a stripped down Ford or Chevy; a Buick seems as upscale as they get.
The problem is, should anyone suspects they are under attack by criminal and responds with deadly force but the attackers are indeed LEOs in their ninja underoos playing Naruto, that person and his/her family is going to be killed in the follow up assault and or he/she will spend the rest of their life in prison.
There’s no doubt the entire might of the local LEOs would be dropped on the head of anyone who managed to repulse such an attack and less doubt as to the outcome.
Drugs.
From what I hear, nothing good goes on inside the Beltway in NOVA these days.
The day I see Don Knots wrestling a meth addict to the ground with a jujitsu arm lock, I will definitely start drinking again.

Perhaps that is part of the price we have to pay for freedom...
If the LEO’s started getting gunned down, perhaps they would come to their senses....
