Tough situation. I feel for everyone involved. This whole issue just to serve a warrant. I have a lot more to add but this is not the appropriate place.

Just reposting what I said in the other thread 

Very SAD news . Part of the hypocricy of the world we live in, nobody appreciates the job until they have to dial 911 😡

I agree with all you have said there.  Yes, the whole issue was just to serve a warrant.  They interviewed a police chief on the news and he said serving a warrant is one of the most dangerous jobs they do.  The have no idea what is behind that door or how desperate that person may be.  In this case what was behind that door or in the corn field (I say corn field because one report stated they were shot from a corn field and another said from inside the house) was a guy with an AK47 assault rifle.  Those police officers did not have a chance. 

Of course they can't send out a SWAT Team on every warrant call.  The fact that there were at least 5 officers were on site makes me wonder if they knew this guy was armed because I didn't think they usually send that many officers out to serve a warrant.  My prayers go out to the families of all of those officers.

The fact that it was detectives serving the warrant would suggest the warrant included a physical search of the property. The uniforms were most likely on scene too in order to control or transport the occupants of the residence. At least down here in Florida a physical arrest warrant, just picking someone up and taking them to jail, is done by patrol deputies, not detectives. SWAT would be used if they had knowledge ahead of time that the occupants would be armed or pose a threat to law enforcement, or if the charges on the warrant were violent felony charges. (Murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, stuff like that) Its most likely that the officers did not have anything previous to indicate any of that. Most people do not want to go to jail but only a small percentage will do anything to avoid it, including what happened here.
