Fritz faults police response

The police plan was for a trooper who knew Dean to try to talk him out of the house, the report states, while a team in the other armored vehicle, from Calvert County, planted an explosive charge on the side of the house to blow a hole in the wall if negotiations and the chemicals did not resolve the standoff.

They were going to blow a wall off the house? Yeah, I'd call that aggessive.

Nothing like ASKING them to sue.

Fritz is an idiot.

Doesn't take much.. Saw a raid on TV on a drug house, where they used their truck to pull the bars off of a window.. took the whole wall.

Depends on the construction. I was sitting in my carport in AZ one day revving the engine of my truck when it slipped into gear. (no idea why I wasn't in park) the truck smashed into the wall before I could react and just punched a little hole in the stucco. Stucco over wire mesh is pretty tough stuff.

What was the rush to capture this man. He was effectively neutralized and of questionable control of himself. Why not wait him out instead of another mini Waco event led by our para military wannbes from the State Police. ####ing stupid waste of our tax money and this man's life.

That's what the finding was. They had him isolated and surrounded. All they had to do was wait.
