Two Georgia cops shot.......

[Spiderman11]

There's really no need in knocking.
They don't give the occupants time to answer the door, before they bust the door off the hinges.
Do the cops even care who's property they are destroying?

Awww . . . you care so much. I know, we should send them an invitation to a Christmas party and after its over invite them to jail to turn themselves in.

You would rather they attempt a traffic stop and be involved in a high speed pursuit at 5 pm? Oooooorrrr? Hmmmm, maybe we can just give you names and numbers of the wanted felons, you can have them over for lunch and when you're done give us a call to come arrest them. That way they won't have their sleep disturbed and they'll be full. Whatcha think?

A couple of those cops had just gotten out of their cars when the perp opened fire.

Pisses me off!!! Was that in Iowa or something where that officer was gunned down a couple weeks ago? The guy was sitting at a red light and someone ambushed him....

10 minutes from my house.

Yeah and very close to where the last two got shot and killed. Given the area and being close to Crawford Co I assume the shooter was white and most likely a meth monkey. What the hell is up with criminals lately? It's bad enough that they would try to shoot it out with one responding officer. But lately two cops seems to be the magic number to make idiots go out shooting.

Hope the police recover completely and have no permanent injuries.
Any news updates?

I lived in a rental for 3 years in NW Gwinnett county. The police came at night on a Sunday while we where eating dinner with our kids, no car in the driveway and a Asian man banging on the door yelling, they said they where the police and that we needed to open the door or they where coming in. My husband ran to the door and locked it, then called 911. They said that we needed to open the door, told them there is no cop car in the driveway and the guy banging on the door had horrible English... When he opened the door they threw him down on the ground, hand cuffed him and pointed a gun at his face (1 Asian cop, 1 black cop). They showed a picture of a bald white guy (my husband is as well and has never been arrested either), they profiled him... long story short they where looking for someone that had previously lived there. Absolutely terrifying situation that could have gone worse... Needless to say.. We moved back to Forsyth county....

Oh, and they came again about 2 weeks later (3 white cops that time), had my phone on and told them I was recording everything and that they had already came...

Bust in a man's house at 2:00 a.m. and you are likely to get shot at.
Anyone surprised by this hasn't considered the hazards of the job.

Oh yea I don't sleep with my glasses or hearing aids on.
At that time of the morning I'm shooting center mass on shadows and silhouettes!

They'll never be a reason for good guys to come smashing in my doors...
