[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 4220715, member: 1132"] I think you have to distinguish between destroying a home to capture a shoplifter and capturing a murderer who's an active deadly threat to the community. As much as I don't want law enforcement destroying personal property in pursuit of suspects, you have to weigh the cost in lives and injuries. Somewhere in there is a balance to be struck. I know we can't use common sense because it's not really all that common, but blanket policies which push policy to the extremes is definitely not the answer. I like that the Sheridan, WY community is coming together. I think the local government should do what they can to offset the costs of repair/replacement. They could also hold fundraising drives to support the effort and it would really go a long way if local LEO's came out on their own time and actually worked on the rebuilding project. That kind of PR is priceless and goes a long way towards community cohesiveness. [/QUOTE]
