Clerk realizes they screwed up - send a SWAT team take him in. If he was going to run - he had 13 years to do so. Why send "oakley"-booted SWAT cops to take him in? I'm surprised they didn't use the MRAP to ram his front door. I'm sure they were all roided up with big plans to put a notch on the buttstock.

Before someone says - "they were just doing their job" - wonder if any cop said "this is pretty ridiculous"
Some of my best friends are cops. I shoot regularly with the SWAT team and snipers (the snipers use the land I have access to practice on longer ranges). |
You mean like sending 23 heavily armed SEALS, a half a billion dollars in classified aircraft and $500,000,000 in man hours to kill one 50 year old guy and his two 50 year old bodyguards? I guess its all relative.....
