Quite possibly another Ruby Ridge/Waco raid that turned to crap and that equals bad publicity, Can't have that!High powered rifle found on the scene. At least they didn’t start with “AR 15 assault rifle”.
This is the third Fed raid recently where someone was killed. The other two left a lot of unanswered questions and doubts. This one was reportedly over a felon in possession of a firearm. Maybe one day it’ll all come to light.
it still baffles me why LEO thinks it’s a better situation to apprehend a dangerous suspect where the suspect may be at the advantage? Traffic stop, going to work, play, taking a walk, etc…? At least the suspect won’t be dug in and have access to everything he possesses to possibly kill LEO. Dunno but it seems LEO wants to use all of its cool equipment and place themselves in higher danger on a daily basis. No knock warrants etc…nobody wins. I pray for the families.
Yeah man, Like who really here has assault equipment.I think an argument could be made against confronting the dangerous suspects out in public with innocent civilians all around. The can usually minimize the threat to the public because they do have their "cool equipment."

Naah, we know who's got it going on, Ain't me fo sho!I would suggest your reply does not effectively reflect what you meant to say.
30 minutes of gunfire in a neighborhood and LEO’s taking positions in neighboring homes doesn’t seem like minimizing any threat to me. Quite the the opposite. In fact, there are so many bad raids on the books at this point I’ve lost count. When homes are breached by gung ho men with guns, there are often unintended victims. I remember cases from the 90’s. Confronting a suspect out in the open makes way more sense if you’re smart about it. Cops are smart, they know how to plan something like that, where what you see is what you get, single him out away from the den, away from the herd and sweep in with overwhelming force. Not trying to spark an argument, just saying. At this point, cops need to try something different.I think an argument could be made against confronting the dangerous suspects out in public with innocent civilians all around.

I agree.Hindsight is 20/20.
I agree.
I’m just wondering how many years of hindsight one needs to try another approach. Fodder for another thread I suppose.
Oh boy…..For every one that goes bad, how many do not go bad?
