Great minds think alike
Huck, it sounds like we're looking at this in a similar fashion. This is how I commented in the Examiner:
"Like everyone else, except for those with secret knowledge, I have to go by the text of the newspaper article. If the investigating officer did indeed knock on the door, at any volume, and then disappear from sight, he's behaving like a ghetto thug, not a policeman. Tactics like that are characteristic of home invasions.
Were that to happen at my house, I would treat it as exactly that, a prelude to home invasion, with a call to 911 and preparation to fire magnum rifle rounds through the door if attempts were made to batter it down.
Glen Beck, and others, say that violence is not the answer, meaning that we should not start things because things will certainly go in unintended directions. I agree. What Beck doesn't talk about is the government starting violence.
Don't misunderstand me. What happened in Newcastle is small peanuts. It should be investigated and dealt with accordingly, so that these things don't become large peanuts.
MD "
All we have to go on is the article. Most of the people in OCDO that I've met would recognize this fact and would modify their opinions when a sensible reason comes along to do so. Some posters seem to be taking it as an article of faith that the police could not possibly be guilty of such behavior. It appears to happen with alarming frequency elsewhere in the country; why not Wyoming?
