I think the cops could make a very case that they were facing "exigent circumstances". If that's not exigent circumstances, I don't know what is.

Is it better if they didn't shut down the city and go door-to-door? Better to not inconvenience people, and as a result let the guy get away and incinerate another 8 year-old kid?

There's a miniscule percentage of the population that does bad things. If it weren't for these jerks, we could leave our doors open at night. But those maniacs are out there, so we can't.

I see nothing unreasonable with what the cops did. It was an extreme situation which called for extreme measures.

Semantics, Eben. But just how many hospitals' ERs and trauma units does it take to be maxed out to be considered massive in size of human trauma? No, it wasn't the size of the blast in Texas. But the thread was about our loss of rights.......


Sorry for getting jacked up on this... Musta got lost. Just realized I was in the Political Forum.
