There are no marked cop cars outside and they don't have POLICE or SWAT or SHERIFF on their plate carriers and I don't see any badges. I go back inside to grab something bigger and notice out of the corner of my eye a uniformed cop down the street (probably 600' or so) - so I put two and two together and go inside. Eventually the homeowner get to the door as they bust in -- then the cops go ape shit with them, screaming at them, berating them for making them break down the door. Bad things ensue.
Okay, so I get curious because I don't ever remember them announcing POLICE or SWAT or SHERIFF the whole time they are banging down the door (2.5 minutes). I pull up my camera recording of the incident, and it has full sound of everything that happened. I listen and confirm they NEVER ANNOUNCED POLICE OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT - at least not until the homeowner was at the door and they were already practically inside. I think back on that incident and heaven forbid what would happen if I was ever in that situation. All I would know is that two heavily armed men were trying to bust into my house. I think that would end poorly for everyone involved.
