Powertripping bitter cops take things just as personally as dirtbag civilians.
There shouldn't be this much feeling involved in the law. It's pretty cut 'n dry in cases like this: Get a mofo'n warrant if you have enough evidence.

So you tell me whats better.
Scaring some guy a little so he gets his sister to turn herself in, or pretending everything is cool, leaving, getting the warrant and while I don't know the procedure for a 'dangerous felony warrant' my guess is that it could very well be EXACTLY as the cops described.
They were being assholes and scary and doing him a favor at the same time.
I also think pan is correct in his possibilities. I think there is more to this then a 'we will call you if we decide to press charges' going on with the sister.
