Next this previously released statements is blatantly FALSE: "This was not a "no knock" warrant. We come in very high profile with lights and sirens. We go to the door. We pound on the door. We wait 15 seconds, and, then, we breach the door with a heavy tool and open the door," explained O'Connor.
If one times the total from the knock by one of the Jack-Booted thug to the actual breaching of the door, it is but a few (maybe 5-6 seconds)
Last but not least (and it will be interesting if we ever get to see the entire video, with sound what was said when the 1st Swat A-Hole stuck his head in the door, like maybe what SHOULD be said, like "Police, drop your weapon?")and when the 1st shot was fired, but it appears to be but only a heartbeat or 2.
These trigger-happy, wannabe, cowboys, then pile on and one is seen like a baby pup/kitten trying to wiggle his way between the other morons so he could get his shots in.
All in all, a very unprofessional, unwaranted, needless, "Execution" of a private citizen, regardless of what crimes he was accused of having committed.
As someone else commented, a couple of cops could have grabbed this suspect when he exited from work at the mine and then went to search his house.
There is absolutely NO need (or excuse) for this travesty to have occurred and hope that sooner, rather than later, there will be a backlash against ALL SWAT Teams and they will be reined in before they start losing lives as people shoot first when encountering these type raids.
Where is the sanctimonious ACLU? Commies love the Police State in action.
I knew all this was coming when PD started wearing boots and fatigues.
Thet made and edited the video after the fact.
At :17 you can hear someone say “Bang bang bang” as they walk up to the door.
