Isn't the increased use of swat teams a symtom that more people with guns mean more precautionary measures by law enforcement officers .
No.

If every homeskoolin anti-government trailer park resident has the right to defend his trailer with a gun then every law enforcement officer who wants to get access to that trailer is going to come with more guns .
Or, gee, instead of acting like wanna-be commandos intent on forcing their way in, they could have just not acted like condescending :daisy: from the start insistent on getting their way and making this guy do as they said.
Oh, and just a couple days ago, a mother with her children at home was murdered by a SWAT team in Ohio. The police aren't saying she acted aggressively at all.

These situations are only high risk because the police, to make themselves feel big and get federal money for new toys from the gov't, make them so!

This is where you loose it, maybe the smilie spam preceding it is a good indicator. You'll find many more examples of academic excellence than good ole incest in home schooling families.

That was in a bad neighborhood in a crack house. I didn't read where things weren't justified in that case, just that they got out of hand. Crack house busts have been notoriously violent in the past - a SWAT team is usually necessary .

Errrrr...they was enforcing a law order in a normal manner , a normal manner with precautions for a situation that their commanders had deemed appropriate .
But hey rabbit , answer this one (though its two questions) will ya or was it too hard for ya...... Thats standard practice for a swat team isn't it , regardless if there are children in the house or not , if it was ordinary everyday patrolmen breaking down the door would they not have been pointing their weapons ?
OK maybe they would have only been pointing handguns , shotguns or AR-15s but whats the big difference ?

Are you calling the police weapons penis extensions ?
Whatever happened to the rabbit with the guns are not toys and their size doesn't matter line .
The situations are only high risk because there is a significant chance that the people in the house are armed so the police approach the situation as if the people in the house are armed .:yes:

Ahem, ah, :nervous: (damn), I didn't say that.
But no. Trailer park jokes = incest jokes.
Re: And the Jackboots are Now On
Well ,one might say that this was indeed superfluous because the armed neighbors could have democratically shot the guy themselves, seeing the state do this is of course very worrying and one has to wonder about the state of democracy in the US.
That the police thinks they have a right to do as the law says and even sway the chances into their favour is quite upsetting, one of the checks and balances of the american democracy aftwer all is that in case of a dictatorial rise the citizens can quickly shoot all policemen, the dictator and the rest of the evil guys and set up a new democratic government. By actually being superior to the average gun-armed citizen/criminal the police are seriously endangering the constitutional checks and balances of the United States of America and to prevent that from going any further, the police forces should be dissolved and taxes lowered accordingly.
