Or they could have executed the search warrant during the day, instead of 12:45 at night. Surrounded the building with police cars and uniformed officers.
Or we could try something as absolutely crazy as not treating drug addiction as a criminal problem.
Why do you demand that more police officers be killed?
As you know, and know well, is the fact that police do NOT make raids on a residence simply because someone is suspected of being an addict. You also know that simple addiction is handled in Drug Courts, all around the nation, in an effort to move those people to a path of sobriety. How is that a bad thing?
