One person vs 400 others = Rambo. It doesn’t happen. That was the comment. The idea that a person with a Glock is going to take out a SWAT team is nothing but fantasy internet bluster. The idea of anyone taking out an entire trained SWAT team who will have the element of surprise, superior firepower and numbers on their side is nothing short of laughable.

However, if you aren’t slinging dope, you shouldn’t have to engage in such flights of fantasy.

and there you have it... Element of surprise. Hence the dog. Of course my Shepard would get shot but she'd bark and scare the heck out of anybody coming in the door. She has in the past and I've never killed anybody here that tried to break in. But i'm fairly sure that anybody with a little training can protect his perimeter in a layered fashion. Starts with motion detectors and cameras at the periphery. Then roses, pyracantha,catclaw acacia and blackberry hedges under the fences and windows.

Our family alarm is our German Shepard. Finally to the doors. A video door phone activated by either motion detector and/or doorbell with internally hinged door, reinforced strike plates and security bar attached to the studs for a lock.

Then it's inside with shotgun under the bed, pistol at the night stand and in lab coat and 4 others in the house that know how to fire a pistol, shotgun and rifle. 3 girls and a boy.

Really all that people need to do to stop the drug raids is get an informer to finger a "kingpin" or soft granny crack dealer at the end of a cul de sac, set a trip wire or pressure plate on the front porch with flash bangs and as they turn around to run back out some claymores pointed towards the house from the perimeter fence or sides of the porch would finish the raid.

no Rambo, no John Wayne, no super d-duper spec operator just a guy with a little training. The reason the wannabe special operators that permeate the SWAT teams in the police forces usually don't go after real gang bangers is cause they'd get shot at. So they usually go after some little old ladies, single family dwellings with very little gang activity and go busting in like Iwo Jima or Fallujah.

Give me 4 or 5 guys, a van, some zip ties and night vision anybody worth their salt could serve a warrant without busting down the door and killing people. Turn off water, electricity, jam cellphones and just wait them out. But it just doesn't look good on TV to sit around and wait for people to come out with their hands up or people getting taken down as they come out of a grocery store, gas station, or wherever. Got to justify all that neat equipment and balaclavas. hahahahahahaha.. f'ing joke.

In many places, law enforcement officers have become overly aggressive and trigger-happy, and now have a serious image problem because of it. They're too damned lazy to use their brains, so they think with their trigger fingers instead. Gunning down other human beings in close quarters is intoxicating to them--the ultimate endorphin rush.

You blame communists. I don't know about that. I know what I see. I blame the cops who act hamfistedly like the jackass who gunned down the dumb meth head in this video. It also happened at Ruby Ridge and Waco, and more recently at a COSTCO in Las Vegas.

You seem to think SWAT is all powerful. The BATF had the same bloated opinion of itself at Waco. Remember this image?

Things went downhill fast for the BATF from that point on.

When freedom-loving people feel sufficiently threatened by their own "protectors," they tend to find ways to counter the threat.

Law Enforcement needs to improve its image. It can start by firing thuggish, brainless Rambos like the cop in this video.
