Especially the chief in SLC, who says:
quote:
"I'm just convinced that when we don riot gear, it says `throw rocks and bottles at us.' It invites confrontation. Two-way communication and cooperation are what's important."
"We're not the military. Nor should we look like an invading force coming in."
"It should never be the goal to write a no-knock warrant. As police officers, our goal should always be to use the lowest possible level of force to fulfill our responsibilities."
"Too often we start with the highest level of force. We should always start at the lowest level. If the police show up and the situation deteriorates, then that's our fault. We haven't done our job right. I think we get too caught up in the whole officer safety thing. The danger you expose everyone to in these raids is significant."
Speaking of drug busts, Burbank states, "Why not just send two uniformed cops to the house that same afternoon? They knock. They say, `Hey. Knock it off.' The drug dealers pick up and leave. No guns drawn, no raid. Which approach will have a more immediate effect on the neighborhood?"
