<< So what if there was press? Someone can't pull a gun with press around? >> This wasn't a drug raid, or a raid to pick up hardened criminals. This was a raid on a very peaceful family, who's peaceful and loving actions spoke for themselves over several months. OTOH, what are you suggesting? Should federal marshalls go into people's homes "all the time" with machine guns and tear gas. How about when a cop stops a car for speeding, or failing to signal, or switching lanes illegally? Should the cop drag the driver out of her car, and point a gun at her head, because she might have a gun in it?
