MODERATORS
If they believed guns were possibly involved then it makes more sense to not just knock on the door.
Probably makes more sense to be sure who you are about to SWAT though. Maybe watch the house awhile from a distance? Scout it out? Otherwise demonstrate that you have a tactic other than not giving a shit about the people you claim to protect?
I agree. I was just talking about the knocking thing.
Sorry for coming in hot. 🙂
No worries
They picked a house close to the AirPod location and raided it. Their actions are ridiculous, there was no good faith taking place here.
Well there's that whole pesky 2nd amendment in the US so guns are everywhere. Doesn't give them an excuse to terrorize an innocent family.
I'm just talking about their justification for SWAT and not knocking. Not trying to say they didn't do a piss poor job here.
