I don't see much new in the article from previous coverage. The only new fragment was about the wife saying not to shoot that she had children.

I hate to see policemen in black uniforms, especially with knit head cover with eye holes. What purpose does that serve? I guess it covers up white skin, but not all policemen are white. Masks hide who you are, is that the point?

How many people are now thinking that this is the norm for our police squads around the nation? These incidents are happening more and more. I have some friends who are also ex military and who have even this SWAT team out gunned. They are forcing normal god fearing citizens to arm themselves to the teeth.

If the police are gonna do this then im gonna go out in a blaze of glory. Not with my friggin safety on.

Yep, that's the whole point.

Since SWAT members are some of the 'elite police' on the force, their ID needs to be kept secret so other gang members can't retaliate by following them home from the station after their shift is over and killing them and their family.

That's the point and whole idea behind it.

But FWIW if I see a person or persons with a Black Ski Mask on sneaking up to my window or my door, a whole lotta lead is gonna be flying. 'Cause who the hell do I know whose behind that mask?

It sure ain't the Lone Ranger so is it a Cop or Home Invader? And since I'm Law Abiding I have to assume it's Home Invaders.
