Thank goodness it did and that they were not hurt.
No, they did not.
They knew one guy they were looking for, but did not know if he'd fled to a safehouse where 20 heavily armed terrorists were holed up.
Law enforcement should NEVER get to play "special ops military". Ever.
Call up the local militia. We know our neighborhoods MUCH better than the SWAT team does. If you train the militia to work with you, they are everything these armored up Police State thugs should NOT have been.

I agree. Here in AR, I live in a nearly gated community in which our plan would be to call the 3 rednecks among 25 houses on our street. We would block off the only entrance with big Chevy duallys.
We have hunting 2 way radios, belt-feds, tannerite, and 4x4 wheelers we can let the armed teenagers run roving patrol in our wooded perimeter.
Inside of a couple of hours, we would have a damn tight neighborhood community with armed patrols, a QRF, and all the wimenz and chilluns would be at home armed and ready.
Luckily, the local PD and Sheriff's office would just drive by, smile, and say, "See you at church on Sunday!".
And what stop all those foreign bucks paying out of state tuition and not keep the college professors pension fund afloat?
See my private mail....
Every American should visit or study Dachau, or Auschwitz, or any of the other camps in Europe and educate themselves on Nazi police state brutality and control.
These videos physically turn me cold ... Americans have officially turned their backs on their precious freedoms complying with this crap.
Looks like a practice drill to me.
they wouldn’t act this specific way if it was more across larger area. this was a psyops to desensitize people into lockup/martial law and to appear to anyone it’s impossible to win against leo’s.
Have they charged him with assault by second-hand smoke yet?
Wasn't it a truck driver, regular citizen, who found the Beltway Snipers?

Yes, it was OTR truck drivers who found and held them at bay till the MD State Police arrived...they were in a Rest area on I70 near Hagerstown...
If I remember correctly it took approx 45 min for the Police to ‘control the scene’, with a State Police Barracks approx 10-15 miles away.
BTW they are the “DC BUSHWACKERS”, Sniper is an honest profession which requires great discipline - something the two idiots didn’t have, they were lucky the LEO’s involved weren’t (or at least didn’t act) much smarter than the doers.
This is one reason why I’m a proponent of Cub Scouts, Webelos and the Boy Scouts. So boys can get the whole pack, troop identity-authority thing out of their systems by the time they’re 18.
I am starting to suspect that so was the "bombing"
The SWAT teams in Boston served their purpose — they produced more concern to freedom-loving Americans than the terrorists did.
If it is I might just forgive the LEO’s! ;-)
I couldn’t believe how many people came out of that house. And why did they wait so long to answer the door?
I agree with what you say.
Perhaps my post was unclear. The tactics they were practicing were “how to subdue a passive population”. They weren’t really looking for #2 as much as they were doing this. They certainly were NOT going to involve a local militia, and I think the citizen who tipped-off the location even cut into their game.
I agree with you about LE and playing Special Ops. This is all going the wrong way.
That is why the feds and local PDs need 30rd magazines....they can’t shoot for sheet!
Then it certainly was a dismal failure so far as those who are actually interested in observing the tactical response of the government are concerned.
Intimidating sheep is an experiment in which the conclusions are already known.
It is more important to the powers that be to maintain control than preserve lives...
You can't destroy a volunteer's life for not following orders.
