Very poor situational awareness and tactical movements. Though who would anticipate this type of ambush. Similar to the wildland firefighters attacked in ID earlier this summer.
Its both. They were there allegedly serving a warrant. That alone should have had awareness up pretty high and depending on the warrant type, SWAT or at least a team trained with bunkers should have been there. That also being said, with them being apparently more lax in this situation leads me to believe that it was a low level warrant on a farm where they normally don't have problems. Also, the ease at which an ambush can be set up is extremely alarming. Things like this lead to more militarized police which ironically is one of the things protested the loudest.
But they are police officers against 1? Probably they were hired just to have a job not enough training? or maybe there were more individuals/demons involved? Just that extreme media doesn’t want to say it like always. 🙃 God bless
BBSS has a good response to this…regular police aren’t SWAT and likely aren’t combat trained unless they were on the ground in the Middle East somewhere. And even if so most action is in cities and not in rural corn field type of areas.
Clearing a rural home surrounded by cornfields and woods requires a large operation and/or including drones or helicopters using thermal cameras to clear around any structure before approaching on foot. It’s a whole different tactical situation for the cops…but depending on why they were serving the warrant, it should have at least waited till daylight and a drone.
I think the article said evening so I’d assume it was at least dusk if not dark. Just seems like some poor decision making…poor judgement…one of those let’s just get it over real quick and get on with end of shift type of thing.
I’ve been on edge since there have been shootings at firefighters and medics. Always looking over my shoulder as we run calls.

Ok. I didn’t know it was at night and rural home plus like you said they should have waited.
