One thing really stands out here though. If the door is locked and no one answers, the officers are moving on.
I wish that woman had read Ragnar Benson's guide to urban survival before this all happened. She'd have known better.
She looked pretty well stocked actually.
Euc,
I'm sitting here watching Fox News right now and watching Los Angeles (can't make out what-police, sheriffs, fire dept) breaking down the front door of a house, ripping the wood away with crowbars and sledge hammers. Also showed them on a balcony of another apartment, opened the window of the apartment - there were bars on the inside of the window - and using sledge hammer and crowbars to pry them off the inside frame.
I'm sure that they secure what's left after they destroy the residence when they leave . . . NOT!
Certainly doesn't track the "if they don't answer the door, we aren't breaking in" speech that the authorities are telling the press/public, does it?
I wonder why it seems that they are only showing CA LE doing these acts? Might it be that they get lots of practice breaking things on the job at home and are acting the same way in NO? Or is the NO police chief telling the public one thing and instructing the officers totally differently? One has to wonder??
