Good grief.
I just saw a fairly close up video of the supermarket "raid".
I use that term very loosely.
I don't want anyone to take this wrong, because I'm sure the police hearts were in the right place simply by being there, but I can only say the entry was one big cluster _ _ _ _ from the word go.
1. There was only 1 cop who entered. I really don't see how he wasn't killed by friendly fire. It's a miracle that he's alive.
2. No one followed behind in stack.
3. Why on earth were handguns the entry teams primary weapon? At best, they should've been secondary, but the cops could've easily been out powered by rifles if the bad guys had been shooting from cover/barricades could've easily been picked off rather quickly and easily and even somewhat safely.
4. The 2 bad guys that made it to the door, either of them could've taken out the ENTIRE entry team had they been rigged to blow.
5. My thought is there was a bunch of guys told to go with no prior team training AT ALL!
Good grief! It does look like amateur hour. They got really lucky. But they will no doubt get medals and commendations and assorted other meaningless crap.
