SWAT Raid in Lamar, Colorado
SWAT Raid in Lamar?
I hesitate to ask this question, but it’s a question that must be asked. If this minor issue required SWAT to come in and take over, who will they call in if we have a major big event happen? Over the past several months, the City Police Department has expanded to include a new Police Chief and many new officers. The drug busts have increased, traffic violations are no longer an issue, they’re a standard. The police department no longer actually fills out any vandolism reports unless they can find the criminal (is this to increase their standing on crime to solution based data?), and there are issues outstanding that are ignored. But…
It’s all good! We have SWAT to the RESCUE!
However, as a lifetime resident of this fair community, I hazzard to guess what the response will be if a major event takes place.
SWAT wasn’t handled in any way effectively in this raid. Can you imagine pulling up to a crime scene, guns blazing in a terrorist event. Where oh where is Bruce Willis? We may need his “kill ‘em all and blow the building to hadies” Die Hard tactics before this is all over.
Will there be any real residents left? That is the question.
I wonder if this will go down in History alongside the Fleagle Gang at the Big Timbers Museum?
