Police Obliterate Home to Serve DUI WarrantJoshua Krause Over the course of the siege, the police attempted to negotiate with Mr. Cady, and at least one shot was fired from the home towards a patrol car. Though it is unclear if this action was a malicious attempt to hurt the police officers surrounding his home, or if it was an impulsive act of desperation to scare them away (given the reason for his warrant, it wouldnt be surprising if Mr. Cady had been drinking when he fired the shot). Either way, its clear that the police had every reason to be concerned for their safety at that point. Despite this, it appears that they still intended to resolve the situation peacefully, and arrest Mr. Cady without incident. If they really wanted to hurt him, they could have stormed in with all guns blazing. Instead, they decided to breach the home, so that they could finally get a hold of Cady. And by breach I mean, they completely wrecked the house beyond all repair. As you can see, it looks like the house just barely survived a hurricane. Every time you think youve seen the last of the destruction, theres still more to be seen. How many freaking holes did they really need to put in that house? And in the end, Mr. Cady committed suicide before he could be apprehended. Now his wife and kids are left with no father, and the shell of a house that is completely unlivable. While I think the police arent solely responsible for what happened, there had to have been a better way, right? During the course of this three-day siege, the police had plenty of time form a plan to apprehend Mr. Cady, and yet they chose the most destructive way possible to breach that house. What do you think? Was this an appropriate response to Cadys resistance, or was there a better way to apprehend him?
