It was six officers - plus a seventh person from the housing department. Two of the officers were there for "backup", never spoke to the person in the house, and never entered the house.
It does seem like overkill. However, I am wondering how many of these "silly warrants" are served on a daily basis that quickly go south with someone trying to flee or an officer getting hurt.
different countries. i know for a fact, if this happened in canada, the scandal would be the fact the city is issuing warrants for unkept lawns, which at BEST is by-law, but using 7 officers to do it? bizarre.
this aside, maybe it's an extremely rough neighbourhood blah blah
but if that's the case, they MUST know it's a rental property, and some teenage black chick isn't the person they're looking for
bizarre clip, and glad she posted it. Being cuffed so they can find my id is beyond fubar

again, my view is there was smarter ways to handle this.
And how exactly do you do this better? Have your officers knock on the door, say please, and then leave with any excuse given?

again, i've posted suggestions several times, weird you missed those in your haste to label me as some sort of out of my mind adult child. other have posted along those lines as well. you missed all of it. your style of arguing, no worries. i attempted to find a middle ground here with you, there's always a middleground.

IMHO that is how police should behave and if they are unable to handle situations like that, they shouldn't be on the force. :2 cents: Kudos to this guy, I wish there were more like him.
They are SERVANTS who are supposed to PROTECT THE PEOPLE. They are not supposed to intimidate or abuse them. Somewhere long the way shit got twisted and now everyone thinks raiding your house, acting like an asshole, shooting people for moving too fast, or wearing military raid gear while driving a war wagon and carrying assault weapons is perfectly normal. It's not. They do not need to show overwhelming force and be assholes in order to protect the people.
Think about what "protection" really means and then look at the current state of US police. It is appalling. The policeman in the video could have just as easily killed that guy for whatever reason he made up, but he didn't. He kept his cool and acted like a real pro. That kind of officer is the kind of officer that the world needs of. Not assholes who barge in your home, abuse you, or bark profanities at you.
A person should never have to fear a run in with the police, or turn on all the lights in their home so they don't get shot.
