Swat Monday

"Mumble mumble mumble, mumble mumble," said the distant disembodied PA voice.

Weird, why's the high school doing announcements now? School let out a couple hours ago. . .

"COME OUT OF THE HOUSE WITH YOUR HANDS UP!!!"

Jesusfuckinghell, it's the goddamn pigs again.

Welp, guess Lenco BearCats get to join drones and circling helicopters on the list of things that make me inexplicably, irrationally angry. Thanks 2020. And you too, Greg Fischer.

They weren't there to see me, had to grab my camera and see if there was some shots to be had. Curiously enough, the BearCat (the black armored police vehicle) is sitting where the events described in _this post_ happened.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. Tried to get a shot of SWAT making entry but LMPD had the streets blocked off and couldn't find me an angle to view it from. Wonder who that cop pissed off? Getting to guard the rear exit solo just seems like a punishment detail. Not to mention a good way for things to go sideways in a hurry.

When they stormed my neighbor's house a few years ago, they made entry through the back door. This time around, there wasn't a good line of sight to even be able to tell where they were busting in.

Whole thing took less than twenty minutes to unfold, seemed like half the block had come out to watch. This went down yesterday, ever since I've kept an eye on the news but there's been not a peep about what was going on. One thing was certain though, somebody was having the worst Monday of their life.
