dksuddeth · 07-19-2006, 06:31 AM

alot of people on here have said that it's tragic, but necessary, to have heavily armored SWAT teams serve warrants in case suspects are armed or that evidence is destroyed but I have to wonder, for those that can willingly accept the deaths of innocent people during SWAT raids, is there a limit to how many must die before they would reconsider?

For those that are in with the gun control crowd and are fond of saying 'if it saves the life of just one child, it's worth it', how do you justify a death due to a botched SWAT raid?
