The warrant was for the suspect owning firearms despite being a felon and restricted from owning them. They killed the first person who shot at them and then had a standoff with another person who shot at them from inside the house.
And yet I have tried MANY times to get police to do something with all the evidence I have given them of someone I know who openly plays with guns in public that they're not allowed to have as a felon (who has also since harassed me many times), and they simply don't care about either of those things happening.
WSOC-TV said their helicopter captured an armored vehicle driving through yards and knocking over recycling bins before officers removed a person with blood on their shirt who was then loaded into an ambulance.
After the home was cleared, the helicopter pilot said he couldn’t show the front lawn of the home because the scene was too disturbing.
Several armored vehicles were on nearby lawns and driveways of the older suburban neighborhood of a tree-lined street with brick homes. A shattered window, blinds torn, was in a street and a entire doorway was leaning against of one of the vehicles.
Many roads in the area including Interstate 77 were closed so ambulances could get to hospitals faster. TV footage showed ambulances speeding to hospitals with several vehicles with sirens on both in front and behind them.
Plus three dead cops.
There was really no other time and place they could have served this person a warrant?
It seemed to be at their home which seems like the typical place to serve a warrant. The police probably could have used the road to drive their armor vehicles on and not peoples' yards though.
I don't know that 'typical place' is the way to do it when it was clearly someone dangerous enough for them to send in armored vehicles. At least wait until they get out of a residential area? Just put a tail on them.
I see one removed for saying dead cops are a good thing, one still up saying ACAB, and one removed for saying the suspect will be put on administrative leave. Looks like there is another that was removed but they responded to something else so I can't see it.
