| #4 I've been wondering for a long time why there have been so few instances like this. Maybe because most people aren't quite this nutty. |

| #3 'Moose, you left out the destruction of official and private recordings, altering of official evidence and legal records & amending of the history of how / if the 'search warrant' was obtained prior to the disasters you so well described. Or, as they said in the bad old days, "The King can do no wrong." |

| #2 What, the state fail to make it clear who is in charge and who is not? Admit an honest error, let alone malicious wrongdoing, under color of authority? Ever? Perish the thought... |

| #1 I've been wondering for a long time why there have been so few instances like this. There is tremendous public anger at the use of SWAT home invasions that far too often target either innocent people or those involved in petty and non-violent offenses. Break in while screaming, kill any dogs, put family face down, handcuffed, with guns to their heads while screaming threats at them and demanding information, no matter if they are young, elderly, handicapped, naked, whatever. Then utterly trash home, emptying food containers into a big pile, tearing out fixtures and plumbing, punching holes in drywall and ceilings, clothes, drawers, confiscating any currency greater than $100. Then perhaps "arresting" property if any illegal drugs are found. Refuse any admission of wrongdoing, apology, or repair when in the wrong, demanding an expensive lawsuit for any compensation. Always exonerate officers clearly in the wrong for wrongdoing after an internal police investigation. It would be hard to imagine more tyrannical practices short of burning down the building after. It all comes across as little more than brigandage. |
