We must be in two different threads.
Not at all. These lies were all in this thread:
Or grab him on the way to work?
It's not like barging into a house is the only way folks have been arrested (regardless of wealth or social status).
I haven't verified whether it was a no-knock warrant or not, but it does sound like it was an announce and enter with force from what I've seen online. No word on what was in the warrant.
I think the family was just trying to point out that this guy wasn't a known felon with a troubling criminal history. Nothing I've read shows that this couldn't have been handled during daylight hours without such a show of force.
I've already said a bunch of times that I don't know anything more than the rest of you . . . the actual details BASED ON WHAT IS KNOWN shows that the ACTED like this guy was some violent felon who deserved to be served a search warrant that would make the mafia proud.
Do you not think that he possibly noticed or thought he was being followed as a reason to drive erratically? Outside of that what have you heard to cause you to believe this guy was the equivalent of some mob boss that warranted such a show of force?
Because he has a violent criminal history?
Assuming your home is being invaded before daylight by potentially unknown people and taking reasonable actions to defend it not something you support?
they got a warrant to kick his door in at 6 a.m.
Who wouldn't fire at armed people flooding into their house in the middle of the night?
The ATF chose the most confrontational way possible to serve the warrant.
