Today in Buffalo - 15 +/- armored swat members with a armored military vehicle stormed a house.
This after flooding it with tear gas - they claimed to have had a report of a "Possible man with a gun" in the house.
The house was vacant - maybe they should have checked it out first.
Later : The TV News reported "The Police are still trying to locate those involved in the armed "stand off" with police.
There was nodody home - "Stand off" ?
How could there be a "Armed Stand off" - there was no body there - there was no "armed" people in that house - yet the news reports a armed stand off.
One would think two Cops could have - you know - maybe knocked on the door first ! Maybe track down the "tipster" and or neighbors and asked who saw what !
This is the new culture - roll in with outrageous weapons and armored vehicles - hype up and stress out a group of officers and scare the sheets out of the whole neighborhood - just to show what ? ? ? ?
