That's not the big question. The big question is why do we have paramilitary organizations committing urban warfare against our homes? The burden of proof that we have a MAJOR drug dealer/terrorist/known suspect in a high felony such as murder/rape. We must know the ADDRESS. We must have high level of certainty that the perp is there and civilians are few if any. That should be minimum qualifications before even getting a warrant.

This reminds me of the ATF attack on the DK compund in Waco, Texas. The ATF/FBI could have easily have picked up DK with little, if any, resistance or danger during his daily run into town; but then again, that would have deprived the AFT, FBI, and other LEO of the oppurtunity to play with their expensive toys.

The same situation in Tucson. If the press can find out where the guy worked and what time his shift was over, they probably could hjave picked him up then without firing a shot.

They knew where the homeowner worked long before this commando style raid. Commando style raids like this should only be conducted for suspected terrorist or very violent people.

They could have *easily* set up near his car while at work, and hooked him while walking to his car. At the same time they could have easily served a warrant on his residence.
