I notice that some of the dispatcher recordings have been released - but none of the 911 operator recordings.

My biggest question is, how did events transpire in a way that allowed two men to end up in a high security residence in their underwear holding hammers in the presence of police - BEFORE - the physical assault actually took place.

...and I need an officer type or lawyer type to help me on this:

If I was a cop, and I responded, and a guy attacked the husband of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, how many high capacity magazines am I allowed to expend from my fully semi-automatic service revolver before it is considered "excessive" use of force in the prevention of an assault with a deadly weapon and/or attempted murder ??
I mean for shit sakes - a capitol hill cop was able to shoot an unarmed woman in cold blood with pretty much no repercussion - clearly you can whack a nut job that is trying to do bodily harm to one of Madam speakers family members.

Seriously - if I am a cop and I respond to a 911 call at the home of America's 3IC politician and there's a crazed attacker that begins wailing on a human head with a hammer; well, lets just say that Box is gonna get his shoot-shoot on.

Like Francis Soyer once said, "All I know is, I finally get to kill somebody."
