You are correct and I agree that the door to door didn't find him.
I stated that. I stated that the citizen found him NOT the team. My point was that they were in the area due to the searches.
Oh, that's what justifies the illegal searches, because it puts them "in the area" of the subjects Instead of him calling and them sending a patrol car they had immediate response.
Yeah, because the story didn't say that the guy had probably been hiding in the boat for some time due to the fact that the homeowner was locked down in his own home, when he would have probably found the suspect much sooner had he not been put on lockdown. Let's just ignore the facts and pretend that any amount of time was saved by putting an entire community on lockdown and performing egregiously unconstitutional searches which turned up no trace of the persons being searched for
Also, anyone have any suggestion what they should have done?
I don't need to provide an alternative to validate that what was done was the wrong thing I mean after blowing up 2 IEDs. Wounding 250ish killing several (to include a small child) then murdering an officer, car jacking someone (with the threat of death obviously), then getting into a full blown shootout....
Should they have just gone home? Ahhhh we'll put a bolo out for him hell turn up......
No one has said that except you, Primus.
I honestly don't know how/why people were forces from their home. That's why I ASKED if anyone had the story.
Now you were just asking... Honest and innocent little Primus, just asking questions and getting ridiculed for it Awww. Did they have some reason to believe those homes had him in there?
No.
From a legal perspective I'd say yod have exigent circumstances if you could articulate why you thought the dude was in any one of those houses.
Too bad they didn't. And again did they give permission?
No. Already answered. Try reading. It's helpful in these situations. Were there any lawsuits after this?
Holy ****, a good question.
Guys Monday morning quarterback but what about the people involved. Those citizens that had guns pointed at them. Where is their outrage?
Documented. Maybe they knew something you or I don't?
They've told their stories, they've shared what they know, and what they know is disgusting violations of their rights.
