    We should identify each of these criminals. Then identify their family members. Then call them and ask them to encourage their criminal family member to quit. And then do it again and again until they quit. No violence, just constant harassment.

    It’s just a bunch of “tacticool” accessories, not anything rare or particularly high-tech. IMO it makes the agents look like try-hard dorks - no number of laser scopes is going to turn them into commandos.

    (With that said, the house does say “We don’t dial 911” and so it makes sense for the agents to be particularly careful.)

      “We don’t dial 911, we dial .357” is the full saying, at least where I grew up

    Her husband, Garrison Gibson, who is from Liberia, was arrested during the raid.

    He was not arrested. An arrest is a lawful detainment. This was a kidnapping.
