SWAT Team Raids Innocent Family Over Stolen AirPods Dropped on Their Street
St. Louis County Police have some explaining to do

They could just have... You know... Sent someone to have a look around the place. They'd probably just found the AirPods. Or... They could have... You know.... Acted like humans instead of paranoid power tripping psychos and -and I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out - rung the doorbell and asked questions like "have you seen anything?"
The SWAT team was looking for guns and other material related to a carjacking that had occurred that morning.
If they believed guns were possibly involved then it makes more sense to not just knock on the door.
Well there's that whole pesky 2nd amendment in the US so guns are everywhere. Doesn't give them an excuse to terrorize an innocent family.
I'm just talking about their justification for SWAT and not knocking. Not trying to say they didn't do a piss poor job here.

Probably makes more sense to be sure who you are about to SWAT though. Maybe watch the house awhile from a distance? Scout it out? Otherwise demonstrate that you have a tactic other than not giving a shit about the people you claim to protect?
I agree. I was just talking about the knocking thing.
Sorry for coming in hot. 🙂
No worries
They picked a house close to the AirPod location and raided it. Their actions are ridiculous, there was no good faith taking place here.
