Essentially someone called 911 and said their was a gunman with hostages in a home. It took 5 hours to determine no one was home.

So they evac a neighborhood for a phony call and search an area for someone that was never there. I do not fault the police there for their tactics, or their response. However, people ask how police can search your home, this is how it is done.

Though, I am still perplexed how it took 5 hours to ascertain the house was empty.

In Waco they will burn the women and children to save them from religious zealots. Aren't you proud of Democrat Bill Clinton and his flunky Janet Reno?
