Doesn't make any sense to me either. They took a battering ram attached to a fork lift and rammed holes in the house. And she told them that he wasn't in there.
Maybe I am missing something from the article, but if they decided to have a standoff that lasted for 20 hours, then how come the house was destroyed?
Evidently they used heat detectors and got a source of heat from the attic, and thought it was a persons body heat. They decided to wait and coax the person out, but there was no person, so no one came out. Looks as if they poked holes in the ceiling and tore the house up, to get the non existent entity out of the attic, and destroyed the home n the process.
What I can't figure, is why they would toss the Xmas Tree out the window, and do so much damage to the home. I like to give Cops reasonable doubt, when we see a Horror story like this, but it sure is hard to come up with any excuse for such gross negligence. Somebodies head needs to roll here.
They said there is an FBI Program that will help the woman and her kids rebuild the house, which means you and I are going to pay for this crap. I wonder if they wished the Woman and her Kids a "Merry Christmas" when they left, or as they tossed the tree out the window.
"Sheriff Groves says the homeowner was made aware of a program to the FBI offers to help with home repair in these types of situations."
Why should they be expected to use federal funds to fix their home? According to the article, local law enforcement screwed up. Let the money come from them.
The Sheriff's department destroyed the home. They should be the ones to pick up the tab for cleaning up the mess and preserving the family's belongings. Why do neighbors have to help sort through the damages just to get this family set to rights? Why do federal taxpayers have to pick up the tab for the poor strategies (and poor behavior) of local law enforcement?
