Let’s assume this guy was a bad guy. You want Barney Fife going up against a bad guy with an AR-15 and Marine training? Nice, Laz. I’ll get my dress uniform out for the cop funerals.

Perhaps they can just issue your special get out of jail for free cards. Or are those reserved for the Friends and Family plan.

Why should we assume he was a bad guy? On what basis?

No doubt all the cops will come to this guy's funeral.

You don't have to GO UP AGAINST people. You SERVE THEM SEARCH WARRENTS, like we used to do. You go to their door, with a warrant (and perhaps a bullet resistant shield, if you really feel you need to), and you let them know they must comply with a search warrant.

Only upon refusal do you employ 'shock and awe'. No-knocks with military tactics like these are BULLS***. People CANNOT KNOW these are cops, and HAVE EVERY RIGHT to defend themselves against armed invaders!!!!!!

Here's an idea; Try some good old fashioned cop work. You know, like waiting until the guy is on his way to work and not carrying an AR-15...

I know... It's a lot simpler to just kick his door in and shoot him. But just think of all the additional paperwork now.

At least you and your buddies can go home safe.

Isn't that all that counts?
