"Wonderful escalation in the miltaristic tactics being used by law enforcement. My question: Why risk an entry into the apartment? Wouldn't it be more efficient to just fire a HE tank round or two through the window? That'll send a message to those deviant, and subversive teenagers smoking weed! "
What a ridiculous exercise in hyperbole. I personally guarantee that they expected to find a LOT more than that in the apartment.
Don't let the facts get in the way of your opinion too much, ok?
