To wait until 7 hours after, as suggested by Texas Topcat, would have been irresponsible. Domestic disputes can and do sometimes escalate into harm, even death, being done. Nor to mention that the dispute probably was disturbing the peace and was probably called in by a concerned neighbor (the article doesn't say). The mistake was in going to the wrong house, in not identifying themselves, and in shooting unnecessarily. Fortunately no one was hurt or killed.FitzRandolphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216224619181870076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-20611241420784347272016-02-20T06:58:48.960+10:002016-02-20T06:58:48.960+10:00the police are following the way the author of the...the police are following the way the author of the gulag archepeligo described... late at night, cant be identified, neighbors who may help are asleep, etc.. and they are silent as they now think that not identifying themselves, and knocking once lightly and stormign in like crazies is the way to serve warrants. of course this negates the criminals chance to just say ok and give up, of which many do or would. not all of course. and i wont even dare to say most. but many would... <br /><br />the point is time... they want it fast<br />they dont want to surround the place and wait... <br /><br />the latter would be very safe... <br />the former is very dangerous for many reasons<br /><br />so if safety was the goal, which would they choose? <br />but safety is not the goal, volume is...

IF we're thinking of the same case, I believe the man's name was Guevara, not Guerra.<br /><br />I tried to find a way to post this privately, as in an email or private message, but it wasn't easily found so I sent it this way. <br /><br />I don't like to put people's shit on the street unless they deserve it. You don't. You've always been a straight shooter from what I've seen. You have the respect, I believe, of Mike Vanderboegh and Dave Codrea. That puts you in good company.<br /><br />Please delete it my comment if you change your post or find me to be mistaken.<br /><br />Have a great day.<br /><br />Dan FrainCowboyDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14244721191100429800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-61868468430464204792016-02-09T00:25:09.822+10:002016-02-09T00:25:09.822+10:00I agree with the article.

It would have likely been much better for all concerned if the police had waited till 8:00 AM where the home owner could have identified the person knocking on the door and responded differently.<br />As many gun instructors tell you, no not answer such a knock but stand behind "cover" with a gun and yell thru the door to identify the unknown visitor.Texas TopCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852775469061507190noreply@blogger.com
