David,

A reader who asks his name not be used writes about the drug raid video from Columbia, Missouri:
"I am a US Army officer, currently serving in Afghanistan. My first thought on reading this story is this: Most American police SWAT teams probably have fewer restrictions on conducting forced entry raids than do US forces in Afghanistan.
For our troops over here to conduct any kind of forced entry, day or night, they have to meet one of two conditions: have a bad guy (or guys) inside actively shooting at them; or obtain permission from a 2-star general, who must be convinced by available intelligence (evidence) that the person or persons they're after is present at the location, and that it's too dangerous to try less coercive methods. The general can be pretty tough to convince, too. (I'm a staff liason, and one of my jobs is to present these briefings to obtain the required permission.)"
This Detroit news station (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywBcnMMDcFU) is now saying there was video of the incident recorded.
Whatcha wanna bet that disappears, like, right now!
Whatcha wanna bet they first deny there was video at all, then the camera man will say the video was confiscated by the police, then they will say it is in evidence and is being reviewed, then they'll say it didn't record anything significant, then they'll say it is lost?
Jeepers, its hard to figure.
What is that quote about keeping the booger hook off the bang switch unless you intend to destroy something?
I stand corrected. The Lawyer for the family has a copy of the video of the raid. Let us pray that it is seen far and wide!
