Did you see those guys get dragged or shoved?

I didn't, and I watched some of the footage. They did a standard felony stop. Stood back, asked the drivers to show their hands, open the door from the outside, step out and lay down. Dammit it's a precaution. Should they walk up to the cars smiling and get themselves shot? What are the chances that our sniper is going to politely allow himself to be found?

We are better than Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. We have thousands of roads for easy escape, thousands of vans, and all kinds of traffic to sort through trying to find one bad guy. I would like to support their efforts in a pretty tough job.

Seem like all the cops ever do is take "precautions" to protect themselves.

no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

It has to be done like this EACH and every time, in EACH and EVERY instance!
