Wow everyone criticzing and slating people again having no clue! yes there is the potential for a whole host of things to have been wrong with that raid, (ie information not researched etc etc) yet in the same breath they may well not have had any information, we don’t know what information they were acting on? why were they at the addresS? who sent them? What time did they get the request to attend? The amount of times I’ve had done warrants where intell is no dog and we’ve arrived to be confronted by 3 large evil looking things is beyond me. As for havign a dog handler, they are like rocking horse S*** on earlies as there aren’t many in each force. As for the firearms team and coming out to deal, completely justifid by the sounds of the little I know.
Don’t know great details about full reasons they were there but, has the address been done before? Ie do they even know a dog was going to be in there? If not, HTF were they expected to know that was going to be the outcome?
It makes the hairs stand up on my neck when I see stuff like that, hideous I hope they all make a good recovery. Stop preaching about what you would’ve done easier said than done, plus hindsight is wonderful.
