Or just felony stop the guy on his way to the gas station. Why run up in a home where you think they’re armed?

What if ones out and ones at home and when the guy out and about doesn't check in the peraon at the house starts flushing everything.

I understand you, but I see both sides.

Tactically this makes so much sense there has to be a reason. Are they worried that not being caught "on site with the goods" jeopardizes prosecution?

I would just like to see some consistency from the prohibitionist side. They are all about their drug of choice, everything else is bad though. Terrible hypocrisy. How many more have to die in this pointless drug war until they start to question their Lord and savior, the government, and its ability to determine what you should and should not be allowed to put in your own body?

How is the person at home gonna know quickly enough? Why are lives worth losing for more evidence?

Well if getting drugs off the street is your goal flushing them accomplishes that. Is getting shot worth securing the drugs?

This was a while back in Knoxville. Guy in nice house turns out to be a heroin dealer. No national story about it though because of how the authorities handled the arrest. I know not everything will go according to plan 100% of the time, but I'm generally curious as to what the major differences where in how the situations went down.

Knox man charged in heroin, food stamp fraud scheme

I wonder what the neighbor's video shows? The police took it for evidence

Did the neighbor film it on a phone or home security? It's possible there's a cloud backup.

It also raises another interesting question which is why would they take it? Didn't the shootings occur inside the dwelling?

Good question. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for them to release the video.

The thing is... Short of the cops rolling in there and killing them execution style, would a video of the raid really change anything?

I was insanely pro body cams a few years ago. But since I've seen several cops straight up murder people on camera and face little to no consequences and nobody really care.

I already mentioned the controlled buy and said the guy was wrong about the important details. Why are you pointing it out as if I overlooked something?

Because they did purchase heroin at that location as stated in the Probable Cause portion of the warrant. That's the most important detail.

Like I said, the cops witnessed nothing. The CI supposedly said there were several bags of heroin and a 9mm pistol and the next day all that stuff is gone. Yeah, maybe they sold all the heroin, but why is the gun gone? It's all ********.

If they were interested in doing real police work, they could have at least found out the names of the people that have lived there for 2 decades. They had 2 weeks to investigate, and all they got is supposedly a controlled buy. This is indefensibly bad police work.

It's their own surveillance footage, and I would be surprised if it captured much of anything informative.

It might have captured the police in plain clothes Ike some of the neighbors described, in which case the police definitely wouldn’t want evidence of.
