i understand cops put their lives on the line in basic confrontations, i get that. i know how to handle myself when confronted by the police to keep that part cool. she did not. i get that.
my point is escalation on a poorly thought out and executed warrant roundup should not be proper procedure. this sort of shit should have been anticipated and a proper plan pre-determined. certainly not standing around in front of her home telling her they need to talk about her grass being too tall.
that's not professional. it is understandable, simply because it's understandable a 100 warrant roundup in a town of 5000 is bound to be a clusterfuck at some point.

It wasn't seven men from one department. It was six men from three different departments, plus someone from the housing department.
Is it overkill? Sure is. But... Three officers to the front door, two to the back door - in case the suspect bolts - And another officer on the side yard or in reserve. Makes perfect sense if you think about it.
What a shame our tax dollars are wasted on arrested stupid people who can't pay their fines on time.
