Officers break in not wearing uniforms. Saying they are police or they are not heard. What outcome is to be suspected? No doubt they had their guns out. Had they been in uniform this may not have occurred.


This to me this was a flaw in police proceedure. I do not think race was much a component if any in this situation.

From what I have seen when the wear civilian clothing they wear the bullet proof vest over the outside of them and the Vest has POLICE or FBI or what ever on it.
The typical uniformed Police wear the vest under their uniform.

Middle of the night no knock warrant exected by plain clothes police officers in a in a drug case? They went in guns blazing and killed an innocent woman in the process. These as5holes want to play the victim card now. And they wonder why the black community is so angry. Try this shlt in an affluent community and let's see how it works out for the pigs.

They did not go in guns blazing. Their weapons were drawn but they did not fire till fired upon. That does not make it okay. By most accounts they went in unannounced and they went into a home where no criminal activity took place. I do not know much about police tactics but I would think if you are going to go into a home like that, a concussion device or flash/bang would be appropriate to avoid this outcome.

From all accounts, the cops screwed the pooch and the DA seems to be helping them get away with it.

Captain Obvious: Take off their badges and uniforms and what they did is called 'home invasion'. Awhile back I heard a radio interview involving a south carolina police officer who finally got a conscience and QUITE the force.

He said he finally realized that everything he did to people all day long was assault or assault and battery. If he did those things to people MINUS a badge and uniform he would be arrested immediately and hauled off to jail.

Imagine that.

This is why your entrance way needs 2 doors. The first breech is notification. the second door is better and is difficult to figure out and even harder to breech. Really puts a damper on the surprise aspect. AS to race ... the cops undoubtedly had a description ....

I probably read more than I should; two items of note legally:


1. The mere presence of a door bell indicates an "invitation to enter".


I thought that was bad enough but then also read recently;


2. The mere presence of a FRONT ENTRY DOOR is also an invitation to enter.


My next house will NOT have a front entry door.

David, I truly really wish my being stupid was reality in this case. Unfortunately, I'd suggest putting on your 'going in deep to research the matter' shoes and dig in. There is an old saying: Ignorance of the law is NO EXCUSE. Just because David believes there is no legal import to having a door bell attached to a FRONT DOOR or simply having a FRONT DOOR doesn't make it so.

After confirming the facts, I disconnected my door bell and have noticed a dramatic reduction in callers. Though not 100%, I am installing a security door as well.

Why do you think SWAT teams use battering rams to come through the (drum roll, are you ready for it???) FRONT DOOR TO YOUR HOUSE?????? In nine out of ten cases, home burglars choose to kick down the (drum roll, are you ready for it???) FRONT DOOR TO YOUR HOUSE. Geez, could there be something to the front door issue?

In a television interview with one of the Branch Davidians who miraculously survived the Waco, Texas invasion, he said:


"You just haven't lived until you witness a tank crashing through the front door of your house".

Think about this: When guests arrive at your home, they first RING THE DOOR BELL to announce themselves, right? You, the homeowner, then look through the peep hole and see your expected guests standing on your front porch. You then open your FRONT DOOR and invite your guests to ENTER YOUR HOME.

First part of your home your guests enter is the FRONT ENTRY WAY.

I believe a half way intelligent six year old child understands this one......

You would not know a fact if it bit you on the ass. Front doors are used because many times they are concealed from the street, have hidden keys ...etc. You are a pathological liar and everyone on this site knows it.

Nine out of ten my ass.

Burglars enter by the front door more than any other way: 34% of the time, a burglar uses the front door. How do you thwart them? Cut back any shrubs or bushes that give the burglar a place to hide while breaking in, so your front door is in plain sight of your neighbors. Do not have a spare key hidden. Most burglars know where to look, and will simply find it and let themselves in. Have a solid-core door, to thwart those willing to bust through. Install heavier duty locks and use longer screws (like 3-inch) for installing the strikeplate.

There is a reason you do not site sources for your claims .. it's because you fabricate them and lie through your teeth.

You want the tank to go all the way around the back and give you fair warning? You really are special.
