I hate to be monday morning quarterback here but why does it come across as a David Koresh kind of thing?

Why do I get the feeling we will come to find out police have have had this guy under surveillance, knew his routine, and could have picked him up outside his home anytime.

They thought that they would have a grand or time shooting up his house. Should have arrested him elsewhere.

[Morgana]

Um yea. Sounds like they chose poorly

[Round Earther]

War on Cops 2024.

And of course the perp’s names have not been released.

[Tax-chick]

This was in my daughter’s neighborhood.

You didn’t read what you posted, did you....

The officers were first shot at by the wanted suspect as they approached the suburban home in Charlotte. Three officers were killed and five more were hurt. The cops were able to shoot dead the felon in the front yard, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said.

This SWAT raid along with the Tank was entirely justified.

Morgana makes a good point. They could have nabbed him when he went to the Dairy Queen.

I am NOT defending this guy, but they could have arrested him outside the home and wanted to scare everyone by showing they could take any house and stomp on everyone inside. How did that intimidation technique work for you, Marshals?

[Verginius Rufus]

The CEO of the Little Rock airport was killed recently in a raid before sunrise, apparently for suspected unauthorized gun sales, but that story died quickly (and was ignored by the national media). I don’t think he had a prior record as a felon.

[George from New England]

Guess this guy didn’t really have “A Castle” did he ?

[Islander7]

The neighborhood is 70% non-white.

[dfwgator]

My thoughts exactly.

[Brilliant]

The only way to keep a felon from getting a gun is to keep him in jail.

[P.O.E.]

They have tanks on hand nearby to suburban neighborhoods?

[metmom]

In this case, I have to agree.

[VTenigma]

Sounds like a total fuster cluck.

[Retain Mike]

When there are more of us wounded and killed than them, it sounds like a fair fight. I like the saying, “If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn’t plan correctly”.

And how many times does serving a warrant end like this?

They did something they had probably done hundreds of times very safely. It's not like they swatted the house unnecessarily in lieu of serving the warrant.

After what recently happened in Syracuse, NY, you’d think LE might want to do things a little differently.
