Truth is that overwhelming force is demanded when policing an entitled and/or grotesquely armed population.

What occurs is what occurs. That's the way of the world.

"For those who don’t know, it’s been over five months since the night a SWAT team broke into the house in which we were staying. It was the middle of the night, and even though our minivan with car seats inside was parked in the driveway and our children’s toys were in the yard, the SWAT officers claimed they had no way of knowing there were kids inside. We were staying with relatives and my whole family was sleeping in one room. My husband and I, our three daughters and our baby (nicknamed “Baby Bou Bou”) in his crib."

Grotesquely armed with children's toys? Is it the position today that you cannot be a SWAT team member if your IQ is greater than your age.

That said, you evoke race as ANY semblance of a pseudo argument?

Fucking loser.

What does being the principle police apologist, completely stocked with all the latest law enforcement verbology, make you?

I would say you are a chronic recidivist enabler of police misconduct.

1. Trained professional alive.
2. Drugged robber attacker dead.

I'd say that makes me in the right.

You obviously have mentioned all factors of any importance to you. Dead civilians (other thread) or half-blown-up-babies (this thread) don't make the list.

Don, just say no mas. Perpetrators, suspects, persons of interest, drugged assailants are all part of the modern vernacular. Civilians and babies are not. Collateral damage is as close as the modern police force can come to saying innocents.

I'm glad I went through my teenage years back in the 70s, when a cop walking up to you would rather say hi than unbolster his gun before speaking.

Rule 1: the cop is always right.
Rule 2: if the cop is ever wrong, shut up or you're dead.

"Support your local police, or we'll kill you."

Sad thing is, he'll find the above slogans likable and amusing. He'll want them on his bumper.
