This case looks awful. It looks like you have poorly trained officers executing a warrant on iffy information that led to the death of a man.


Having two officers that are properly trained would be more valuable than having the 8 jackasses in the department that executed this raid.

SO's don't have the resources or the training to do this.


I agree that many have a funding issue, but most seem to find the money for lots of toys/military equipment. A department in my area has a .50 caliber machine gun.

I 100% agree with this.

Each place is totally different. We have a lot of old military equipment also. It is used for rescue missions during hurricanes mostly and parades. No tanks or anything like that. Just big 4 X 4s that are very usefull in hurricanes.

The funding issues stem from these departments own unrealistic expectations. Departments like Laurens Co Ga don't need swat teams. They don't need armored personnel carriers.They don't need AR-15's. They don't need a speeder taskforce. They just need to respond when you call them.
