Drug Raid in Dallas Frightens Children
Some of my favorite excerpts from this article:
“The kids saw everything, guns drawn [and] masks on the face,” said Kristen Hendrix, the school’s director. “That’s pretty traumatic for four, five and six-year-olds.”
For four, five and six-year-olds? I’m 33 and it’s traumatic for me!
“What they saw they perceived as a high risk, high dangerous maneuver, but in actuality, it was a very low risk, routine type of police investigation,” Capt. Roland said.
It was low risk, so we sent a fully armed SWAT team. And of course, there is the continually disturbing idea that bashing in someone’s door and searching their home for what is most likely a non-violent offense that is hurting no-one but themselves is “routine” police work.
