So I work in a preschool helping children and families. This morning around 7AM a family that we served last year with 5 young children was busted by the FBI and DEA. I live in a small town, and the guy that had the drugs was selling weed. The police busted into the house with guns, shields and masks on. They tore the screen door off and did property damage. This would be enough to terrify me, let alone 5 young kids. Who out there thinks this was necessary? This man is not dangerous, or scary. Is marijuana that big of a deal? What do you think?

I cant believe that if the FBI and DEA were watching the guy they would see that there were kids in the house. Wow here is a clue, toys outside? or seeing the parents bringing them in or out? I dont think that much force is needed in cases like that i mean come on its just pot its not like he was holding someone hostage or something like that. Sometimes I wonder where they get their tranning.

I guess that the police have been watching the house for a few weeks, and yes these kids are always playing outside. I mean why didn't they wait until some of the kids were at school at least. So today in my town we had 3 raids. I live in a small town. I think the police should be helping children and not scaring them. I guess one guy in town got in trouble so he ended up turning a lot of people in. So if this guy that bought the weed from the ones he turns in tells he gets off free. I don't get how this helps a community! You are right, how exactly do these law enforcers get trained?

I totally agree with you. I feel for the poor kids. I too live in a small town and every time you turn around someone is getting busted then snitching on everyone. The cops need to use better judgement in cases.
