Every overweight, moronic, superannuated cop these days fancies himself a Navy SEAL, and wants to get dressed up in his gear and break down doors.

This particular form of egregious childishness is extremely dangerous and has to be stopped.

Even if the felon had been there, it’s no excuse for breaking down doors and terrorizing the elderly.

As a society, we should expect that sort of behavior only from terrorists.

[Secret Agent Man]

Downing several red bulls and doing a bunch of fist pumping before smashing into someone’s home don’t make a putz with a badge a Navy Seal.

And just how many Navy Seals do we see busting down citizens’ doors? And getting the wrong address from a “reliable informant”?

Yeah, what ever happened to knocking on the door and asking a few questions, in the daytime?

There was once an USA General that ran Nam then the whole army. A bunch of stupid elected people gave him gas about the draft. He decided that he would have the last laugh and made the reserves responsible for the next war. Years pass an a lot of cops were in the local reserve unit. They went to war and came back with an understanding how to search mud huts. Now your local para military police force looks like the army.

We need more SWATs, not fewer!

Do you know how many overdue library books, tapes, and DVDs are out there in America? Until the Public Library gets its very own, door-smashing, dog-killin', wrong address SWAT operations, this intolerable situation will continue to run wild! The Sanitation Department needs SWATs, too. Have you any idea how many people put plastic in the cardboard bins, cans in the plastics container? These mad dogs must be stopped. Stopped cold, I tell you ... with cold black steel.

But there are times when SWAT operations are necessary; for instance, if you want to actually visit Moon Lake for some reason. You should know that (a) every house in Moon Lake (well, rusty trailers and double-wides ca 1957, anyway) there looks the same .... sort of abandoned ... with either a broken down white Chevy van, or yellow school bus full of chickens in the front yard (b) is apparently largely inhabited by tattooed former, present, and future criminals of every sort who look a whole lot like extras rejected by "Deliverance" for not having enough teeth, or at best (c) folks who are, or should be, in the Federal Witness Protection Program. IMHO, Sheriff Nocco and his intrepid deputies were probably quite brave to even enter Moon Lake without at least 15 minutes of TOT artillery preparation.

Let's just call this little visit to the wrong ... but by all reports typical ... Moon Lake house a draw, shall we? Now in re: Every overweight, moronic, superannuated cop these days fancies himself a Navy SEAL, and wants to get dressed up in his gear and break down doors.

You can blame that directly on the overly exciting SWAT Magazines available at your local country convenience store, or supermarket. They are just chock full of the coolest black Kevlar gear, weapons of mass destruction, and instructive tactical articles. No wonder the Barney Fifes get overly stimulated ... not to mention those librarians.

PS: FL Travel Tip: Avoid Pasco County, but if you must, stay within a mile of the Gulf. The area North of Tarpon Springs has not been completely pacified. In fact, in the best gated neighborhoods in Moon Lake, the residents fly to their homes, which are on runways rather than streets and have built-in hangars instead of garages.
